On August 14, international media outlets, citing sources close to the situation, reported that Goldman Sachs is currently engaged in negotiations with potential investors to participate in NVIDIA’s ambitious $500 billion AI funding plan. Leveraging its long-established partnership with NVIDIA, Goldman Sachs has secured a pivotal role in this landmark deal. According to reports, the primary investors in this funding round will include U.S. insurance companies, asset management firms, and banks, with asset management firms poised to hold a substantial stake.

On August 10, NVIDIA unveiled its collaboration with six leading financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, to launch a computing platform. This platform aims to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital dedicated to AI infrastructure development. A source with knowledge of the matter revealed that Goldman Sachs, through its asset management division, could offer subordinated capital and private credit financing. Furthermore, its investment banking division could play a crucial role in allocating the associated debt to private credit funds and subsequently facilitating its entry into the public bond market.
