Amazon is exploring a deal to shift roughly $8 billion worth of Nvidia’s top-end chips off its balance sheet, according to the Financial Times. The proposal is described as a way to improve the company’s balance sheet while it continues investing heavily in artificial intelligence.
The reports indicate that the plan would involve selling or otherwise moving the chips to outside investors rather than keeping them on Amazon’s own books. Bloomberg and other outlets cite the same Financial Times reporting, framing the move as related to accelerating AI-related spending. However, the sources provided here do not detail the specific transaction structure, timing, pricing, or whether the effort has progressed beyond early discussions.
Overall, the outlets align on the core point: Amazon is considering a $8 billion transfer of Nvidia chips to investors. The emphasis differs mainly in wording—some describe “offloading” or “moving” chips off Amazon’s books—while the underlying premise and figure remain consistent across coverage.
