Nvidia's portfolio of equity stakes in tech and AI companies jumped more than tenfold over the past year, reaching $99 billion as of late July, up from roughly $7 billion a year earlier. The chip maker has committed over $40 billion to financing deals across the AI industry in 2026 alone, alongside separate pledges including up to $105 billion in conditional credit support for an OpenAI data center and a planned $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face.
