Nvidia Nears $30B OpenAI Investment in $830B Valuation Funding Round
Nvidia shares edged down 0.04% to $187.90 as the chipmaker advanced toward a landmark $30 billion investment in OpenAI. The deal forms part of a broader funding round exceeding $100 billion that WOULD value the AI developer at approximately $830 billion—potentially ranking among the largest private capital raises in history.
The equity commitment replaces Nvidia's prior $100 billion supply pledge from 2025. Negotiations involving SoftBank, Amazon, and Microsoft have progressed slower than anticipated, with parties aiming to finalize terms this weekend. This strategic move cements Nvidia's dominance in AI hardware infrastructure while providing OpenAI with unprecedented growth capital.
