IT Home On May 10, according to CNBC, Nvidia continues to heavily invest in the AI ecosystem, having already poured over $40 billion (approximately 272.637 billion RMB at current exchange rates, as noted by IT Home) in equity capital into AI companies in just the first few months of 2026.

The bulk of this massive investment comes from a single major move—a $30 billion injection into OpenAI. Additionally, the chip giant has announced seven multi-billion-dollar investments in listed companies; the latest two are up to $3.2 billion in glass manufacturer Corning and up to $2.1 billion in data center operator IREN.

Previously, external sources had compiled Nvidia's investment layout in AI startups, noting that it completed 67 venture capital deals in 2025. According to financial data firm FactSet, Nvidia has participated in about two dozen rounds of private startup financing in 2026.

Nvidia's frequent investments in its own partner clients have also sparked repeated external skepticism: these deals are considered circular investments, with funds merely flowing back and forth among related companies.

Wedbush Securities analyst Matthew Bryson stated that Nvidia's investments fully fall under the category of circular investments, but he also believes that if the investment layout succeeds, it will help Nvidia build a solid competitive moat.
