Market Chatter: Amazon Mulls Offloading Nvidia's AI Chips Worth $8 Billion

04:42 AM EDT, 10/02/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon.com (AMZN) is considering offloading about $8 billion worth of advanced Nvidia (NVDA) chips to external investors to bolster its balance sheet amid increased spending on AI, the Financial Times reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The tech giant has held discussions with investors about a deal that would allow it to transfer thousands of Nvidia-made Grace Blackwell chips deployed at data centers across the US into a special-purpose vehicle, the media outlet said. Amazon plans to lease these advanced AI chips from the vehicle, which is expected to attract investors through debt issuance, the report added. Amazon plans to offer an equity stake of up to 10% in the vehicle, although discussions remain ongoing and could change, the Financial Times reported. Amazon and Nvidia did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
