Nvidia Invests $3 Billion in Meta to Subscribe to New Shares, AI Circular Deals Extend to the Magnificent Seven
On October 27 US time, Nvidia announced a $3 billion investment (about RMB 20 billion) to subscribe to newly issued Meta shares, while Meta announced it would expand deployment of Nvidia's Vera Rubin computing platform, Vera CPU, and Spectrum-X networking equipment, and cooperate with Nvidia on workflow optimization and agent security frameworks. This is the first time Nvidia has extended its circular deal model—providing funding to customers who then purchase its chips—to another member of the Magnificent Seven besides itself.

[Caixin.com] On October 27 U.S. time, Nvidia announced it would invest 3 billion U.S. dollars (about 20 billion yuan) to subscribe to newly issued Meta shares; Meta announced it would expand deployment of Nvidia's Vera Rubin computing platform, Vera CPU and Spectrum-X networking equipment, and cooperate with Nvidia on workflow optimization and agent security frameworks.
This is another circular deal led by chipmakers such as Nvidia, in which funding is provided to customers, who then use part of the funds to purchase Nvidia chips. However, the cooperation with Meta marks the first time Nvidia has extended this deal model to a member of the "Magnificent Seven" (MAG7: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Google, Amazon, Meta, Tesla) other than itself, drawing market attention.
