Amazon to move $8 billion of Nvidia chips off its books via leaseback
Original: Amazon plans to move $8B Nvidia chips off its books via leaseback, signaling a shift in AI hardware financing.
Amazon plans to shift roughly $8 billion of Nvidia AI chips off its balance sheet through a sale-leaseback arrangement, meaning the chips would be financed through leases rather than owned outright. The deal is being read as a sign that hyperscalers are changing how they fund massive AI hardware buildouts, spreading costs instead of carrying the assets directly.
Why now: It signals a notable shift in how tech giants finance their AI infrastructure spending, with implications for both Amazon's balance sheet and AI hardware markets.
