According to informed sources, Nvidia is in talks to invest up to $3 billion in SB Energy. SB Energy, backed by SoftBank Group, is responsible for developing a large data center project for OpenAI in Ohio. This investment negotiation is part of a broader discussion between Nvidia, OpenAI, and SB Energy; Nvidia plans to provide about $100 billion in credit support for the planned Ohio data center campus. Such transactions are becoming increasingly common, as Nvidia leverages its strong financial resources to support AI-related companies and projects, thereby encouraging these companies to purchase and use Nvidia hardware.
