Nvidia announced financing platforms with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI data centers, and said it may back up to 25% of a deal’s residual value itself. It cites H100 rental rates rising from about $1.70 to $2.35 per GPU-hour between October 2025 and March 2026 as evidence.
