Nvidia and Wall Street giants plan $500B AI funding deal, FT reports
Investing.com -- Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is reportedly assembling a staggering $500 billion AI infrastructure funding package in partnership with some of Wall Street’s most formidable financial institutions. Despite the monumental scope of the Financial Times report, shares slipped roughly 3.1% in highly active Monday trading.
According to sources briefed on the talks, the consortium reads like a who’s who of global finance:
-
Apollo Global
-
BlackRock (Global Infrastructure Partners)
-
Blackstone
-
Brookfield Asset Management
-
Goldman Sachs
-
KKR
This partnership underscores Nvidia’s rapid evolution. The company is no longer just a pure-play hardware supplier; it is transforming into a capital-mobilization engine for the broader AI build-out. As private capital firms aggressively accelerate their commitments to chips, power production, and data centers, Nvidia has emerged as the connective tissue linking institutional money to the physical hardware ecosystem. If finalized, this would represent one of the most ambitious lending efforts in Wall Street history.
- The deal could be officially announced as early as Monday, August 10, though none of the involved parties have publicly commented.
- The exact mechanics of the $500 billion envelope—whether it will rely on equity, debt, or blended financing, and what specific stake Nvidia might retain—remain heavily guarded secrets.
- The sheer size of this build-out is unprecedented but necessary. For context, Goldman Sachs projects that global AI infrastructure investments will breach the $1 trillion mark in 2026 alone.
