💰 Nvidia just went full empire mode.
Over the past 16 months, Nvidia poured nearly $90 billion into 145 companies, from AI model labs to cloud infrastructure startups, making it one of the most aggressive investors in tech history.
According to bankers interviewed by the Financial Times, Nvidia is basically “funding everyone.”
The strategy is simple: back the companies building the AI future, then power them with Nvidia chips and infrastructure.
But regulators are paying attention.
Antitrust concerns are growing as more of the AI industry becomes dependent on Nvidia’s technology, giving the company even deeper influence across the ecosystem while increasing financial and regulatory risks.
What’s even crazier: Nvidia spent around 40% of its operating cash flow on investments in fiscal 2026. For comparison, Alphabet, one of tech’s biggest investors, usually allocates less than 6%.
Nvidia isn’t just selling AI hardware anymore, it’s quietly becoming the financial backbone of the entire AI industry.
