Chipmaker Doubles Down on Ecosystem Bets
According to FactSet data, the multinational technology company participated in roughly two dozen private startup investment rounds in 2026 alone.
Circular Capital Or Competitive Moat?
Critics have pointed out that Nvidia is investing in some of its own customers, raising concerns that the deals may be circular, with capital effectively moving between the same companies. Wedbush Securities analyst Matthew Bryson said the deals fall “squarely into the circular investment theme,” but added that they could help create a “competitive moat” if successful, according to CNBC.
Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner earlier said that the chipmaker could become the world’s first $10 trillion company.
