What to know

  • The investment gives Nvidia economic exposure without voting control—a structure that concentrates decision-making in SoftBank while aligning the chipmaker's financial interests with infrastructure buildout.
  • SB Energy is preparing for a $5–7 billion US IPO backed by Nvidia, OpenAI, and SoftBank, with 8.8 gigawatts of capacity in contract or under construction in Texas and Ohio.
