Amazon Weighs Moving $8 Billion of Nvidia Chips into a Financing Vehicle

On October 2, 2026, cnBeta reported that Amazon is in talks with investors about an asset-financing arrangement involving Nvidia chips. Under the plan, roughly $8 billion worth of advanced Nvidia chips would be moved into a special purpose entity, and Amazon would then lease the equipment back from that entity for continued use in its own data centers. The structure would leave part of the asset burden and some of the financing risk with outside investors rather than keeping it entirely on Amazon's side.

The report stressed that the plan is still at the discussion stage and has not become a completed transaction. It did not name the investors involved, did not specify which Nvidia chips are concerned, and gave no timeline, lease term, or breakdown of how the costs and risks would be split among the parties. As things stand in the reporting, the matter remains a financing proposal under negotiation, with no further information on whether it will go ahead.
