**[NVIDIA Discloses Holding Approximately $21 Billion Worth of SpaceX Shares, Strengthening Capital Ties in the AI Industry]** BlockBeats News, August 15: NVIDIA filed documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealing that as of the end of June this year, the company held approximately 123 million shares of SpaceX, with a book value close to $21 billion. According to the filing, due to fluctuations in SpaceX's stock price post-listing, the current valuation of NVIDIA's holdings is approximately $17 billion. This disclosure indicates that NVIDIA has further deepened its capital ties with core clients and companies in the AI industry chain through strategic investments. It is reported that NVIDIA completed an investment in Elon Musk's AI company xAI earlier this year in January. Subsequently, xAI merged with SpaceX, and this equity holding is seen as a significant return on that investment. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk previously stated that SpaceX's data centers would establish an exclusive partnership with NVIDIA, utilizing NVIDIA's latest Vera Rubin architecture for AI infrastructure development. In recent years, NVIDIA has been ramping up its investments in the AI industry, having invested over $100 billion in multiple AI companies and cloud computing startups, including CoreWeave, Thinking Machines, and Safe Superintelligence. Additionally, SpaceX is planning a significant expansion of its computing capacity, aiming to scale its data center capacity to nearly 10GW by the end of 2027, further driving AI infrastructure development. The market believes that NVIDIA is leveraging its position as the world's largest market-cap company to build an ecosystem encompassing chips, data centers, and AI applications through investments, supply chain collaborations, and financial support.
