Amazon is considering moving roughly US$8 billion worth of high-end Nvidia AI chips off its balance sheet through a sale-leaseback structure, according to DigiTimes Asia. The arrangement would let the company fund its massive AI infrastructure build-out while protecting its credit rating, effectively financing the hardware rather than owning it outright. The report highlights how costly the AI computing race has become for hyperscalers, with companies exploring increasingly creative financial engineering to bankroll their chip purchases.
Why now: It signals the enormous financial strain of the AI infrastructure race and the unusual financing methods tech giants are now using.
