    @amir💵Nvidia's balance sheet strikes again! in talks to invest billions in SB Energy, an AI data center developer at heart of OpenAI's proposed 10 GW site that Nvidia is going to backstop with a ~$100B guarantee...47d
    @AndrewCurran_SB Energy is the Stargate infrastructure partner. NVIDIA is increasingly intertwined with Project Stargate.47d
    @rohanpaul_aiNvidia moving deeper into OpenAI infrastructure by backing SB Energy with capital and credit. Nvidia reportedly is discussing to invest $3B in SB Energy and support about $100B of Ohio data-center financing. DOE says SB Energy plans 10GW of power generation for a 10GW data-center development in Pike County, Ohio. OpenAI is reported as the intended tenant. So Nvidia's financing support to SB Energy will help a major chip customer (OpenAI) secure physical capacity. OpenAI and SoftBank had already each invested $500M in SB Energy in January 2026, so Nvidia's proposed stake would deepen an existing Stargate financing relationship. This can pull Nvidia's own hardware demand forward. If Nvidia's backing lowers SB Energy's financing cost, capacity can be built sooner and GPU purchases can arrive sooner too, but some risk that normally belongs to the borrower or tenant migrates onto Nvidia through the guarantee. That is vendor financing logic applied at data-center scale.47d
    @ziv_ravidEnvidia is taking a huge bet with all this investment. We will see if it's a good one...47d
    @firstadopter"NVIDIA announced that it has secured land, power and shell (LPS) capacity through a partnership with SB Energy at the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus in Pike County, Ohio, to host NVIDIA compute. OpenAI will be the customer. SB Energy will build, own and operate the data center under a 20-year lease to OpenAI."45d
    @anissagardizy8SCOOP: We have the details behind one of the largest data center transactions in history. Our story includes the size and complex mechanics behind Nvidia’s financial guarantee—which has been a sensitive point in recent weeks. Spoiler: Nvidia will be the exclusive hardware seller on the site AND gets pretty favorable backstop terms.45d
