Nvidia announced on Monday that it has partnered with six large financial institutions to create financing platforms designed to raise more than $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company could backstop up to $125 billion, or 25% of deals it might undertake.

Nvidia Pairs With Six Financial Institutions
The financing platforms were established in partnership with companies including Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR.
The initiative is intended to provide AI developers, businesses, governments and cloud providers with more access to Nvidia infrastructure. It will also provide large asset managers and private capital firms with longer-tenured investment opportunities tied to usage.
Huang said that these financing platforms will enable customers to access scarce computers at scale to set up the AI factories of every industry and country in the age of AI.
In a statement, Nvidia explained the arrangements would create pools of capital at large scale and attractive rates for its customers. Neither individual investment commitments nor a timetable to deploy the planned $500 billion were disclosed.
