Nvidia has committed over $40 billion in equity AI investments this year, financing everything from a $30 billion OpenAI stake to Corning's glass fibre plants ($3.2 billion). It is no longer just selling chips — it is bankrolling the entire stack that runs on them. Meanwhile, Anthropic's $1.8 billion deal with Akamai shows compute demand is so intense that even CDN companies are being recruited as AI infrastructure. The AI supply chain is being financially engineered by the chipmaker that profits at every layer.
