Nvidia Invests $2 Billion in CoreWeave to Expand AI Computing Capacity
Nvidia has announced a significant $2 billion investment in CoreWeave, aimed at enhancing the company’s AI computing capabilities by over 5 gigawatts by 2030. This latest financial commitment reinforces Nvidia’s position as a key player in the AI industry, as it previously held shares in CoreWeave, purchasing Class A shares at $87.20 each.
The partnership will see both companies collaborating to construct “AI factories”—data centers optimized for Nvidia’s technology. CoreWeave plans to integrate various Nvidia offerings into its infrastructure, including the upcoming Rubin chip architecture, Bluefield storage systems, and the new Vera CPUs.
This deal arrives amid scrutiny of CoreWeave’s financial practices, as the company has amassed $18.81 billion in debt obligations as of September 2025, according to PitchBook. Yet, CEO Michael Intrator remains optimistic, defending the company’s debt-heavy model and emphasizing the need for collaboration to manage the rapidly evolving supply and demand in AI.
Transitioning from its origins in cryptocurrency mining, CoreWeave has effectively pivoted to offer data center services for AI training and inference. Since going public in March 2022, the company has expanded its technological capabilities through strategic acquisitions, including AI developer platform Weights & Biases and reinforcement learning startup OpenPipe. It has also secured partnerships with major players such as OpenAI, Meta, and Microsoft.
Nvidia’s involvement extends beyond financial investment; the tech giant will assist CoreWeave in acquiring land and energy resources for new data centers, and jointly develop AI solutions for cloud businesses and enterprises.
Following the announcement of the investment, CoreWeave’s stock surged over 15%, highlighting market confidence in this partnership. For Nvidia, this investment is part of a broader strategy to sustain its momentum in the burgeoning AI sector and ensure continued innovation.
