Nvidia Invests $100 Billion in OpenAI for Data Centers
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced plans to progressively invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, aimed at constructing data centers expected to utilize 4 million to 5 million GPUs. The companies have signed a letter of intent for this partnership to enhance OpenAI’s AI capabilities, with the first phase anticipated to begin in the second half of 2026.
This investment will coincide with Nvidia’s initiative to build 10 gigawatts of AI data centers, using chips from their upcoming Vera Rubin platform. The deal solidifies Nvidia’s strategic positioning in the AI market and could make it a major shareholder in OpenAI, which was valued at $300 billion during its last funding round.
While Nvidia’s plan outlines an investment strategy contingent on the deployment of each gigawatt, the company is set to generate approximately $100 billion in net income this year, allowing it to manage the scale of this investment effectively.
