Nvidia Pumps $2 Billion More into CoreWeave, Boosting Stake to 11.5%

NVDANVDA

Nvidia has injected an additional $2 billion into AI infrastructure partner CoreWeave, lifting its ownership to 11.5% as CoreWeave pursues a 5 GW data center build-out through 2030 backed by a $55.6 billion contract backlog. The cloud provider’s high leverage—$841.4 million in interest expenses through Q3 2025—and execution risks could pressure profitability despite scaling efforts.

1. CEO Clarifies OpenAI Investment Commitment

Nvidia’s chief executive, Jensen Huang, has reaffirmed the company’s intention to invest substantially in OpenAI, stating that the previously announced figure of up to $100 billion was never a firm commitment but an upper limit under discussion. In Taipei, Huang called reports of internal dissent and a paused deal “nonsense,” confirming that Nvidia will participate in the upcoming funding round. He emphasized that investments will be made “one step at a time,” reflecting a disciplined approach to capital deployment even as he praised OpenAI as “one of the most consequential companies of our time.”

2. Strategic $2 Billion Injection into CoreWeave

In a move to secure additional high-volume AI compute capacity, Nvidia has deployed an extra $2 billion into CoreWeave, raising its stake to 11.5 percent. CoreWeave brings a backlog of customer contracts totaling $55.6 billion and plans to deploy 5 gigawatts of data-center capacity by 2030. However, the partner faces execution risks, carrying debt of $X billion and annual interest expenses of $841.4 million through its latest quarter, which could pressure margins as build-out accelerates.

3. Institutional Investors and Analyst Support

Recent 13F filings reveal that Q3 Asset Management boosted its Nvidia position by 1,504.9 percent during the third quarter, acquiring an additional 19,232 shares to reach a total holding of 20,510 shares, making it the firm’s ninth-largest position. Summa Corp. meanwhile increased its stake to 614,630 shares—representing 50.4 percent of its equity portfolio. Among sell-side analysts, four maintain a Strong Buy rating on Nvidia, forty-seven carry Buy ratings and two have Hold ratings, underscoring broad professional confidence in the company’s AI-driven growth trajectory.
