Nvidia Arranges $500 Billion in Loans to Keep Its Lead in AI Chips

Nvidia lined up $500 billion in loans from six big banks so customers can afford to buy its AI computer chips, Reuters and WSJ reported on August 10, 2026. Nvidia isn't using its own cash — it's getting banks to lend instead. Nvidia sells about 9 out of every 10 AI chips. Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are making competing chips.
