REPORTED ONLY, excluded from binding aggregates: Nvidia in talks to guarantee up to $250B of financing so OpenAI can lease the SoftBank-subsidiary SB Energy 10 GW Ohio campus. Circular by construction: the guarantor's chips are the campus's payload. Nvidia fell 5% on the report.
Conditions: Early talks per WSJ reporting; nothing signed. Backstop would cover lease and construction financing so OpenAI can lease a planned $500B, 10 GW SB Energy campus in Pike County, Ohio (800 MW first phase targeted 2028). Parallel talks reportedly cover up to $350B of chip financing.
