Why it’s a smart move:
* Boosts Sales Fast: Helps cash-strapped AI startups buy Nvidia chips now without waiting for cash flow.
* Keeps Main Books Clean: Private credit funds (like BlackRock) supply the loan money, keeping massive debt off Nvidia’s core balance sheet.
* Locks in Dominance: Ensures Nvidia stays the default hardware standard for the AI boom.
Why it’s a risky move:
* Nvidia’s Hidden Promise: Nvidia agrees to cover up to 25% of losses if borrowers default, putting real money back on the line.
* Tech Gets Old Fast: Chips lose value quickly as newer models arrive. Long 5–7 year loans might outlast the hardware’s actual usefulness.
* Pricey Loans: Borrowers pay high interest rates (10–17%). If their AI products don't make money quickly, defaults will follow.
Verdict: A genius growth trick to keep chip sales booming today, but it quietly links Nvidia to a potential AI debt
