Nvidia Signals End to Investments in OpenAI and Anthropic
The chief executive of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, has indicated that the company’s investments in two leading artificial intelligence (AI) firms—OpenAI and Anthropic—may be nearing completion.
Speaking at the Technology, Media and Telecom conference hosted by Morgan Stanley on Wednesday (March 4), Huang made the remarks, according to a report by Reuters.
Huang said Nvidia recently invested $30 billion in OpenAI, adding that this could be the company’s final investment as OpenAI’s initial public offering (IPO) is approaching. He also noted that the $100 billion agreement announced in September 2025 is no longer being implemented.
Similarly, Huang indicated that Nvidia’s $10 billion investment in Anthropic could also mark the end of its funding in the company. Reports suggest that the rival AI firm is also planning an IPO later this year.
Analysts have offered varying interpretations of Huang’s comments at the conference. A report by TechCrunch noted that Nvidia’s heavy reliance on AI chip demand, along with Anthropic’s recent dispute with the United States Department of Defense (Pentagon), could also influence a shift in the company’s investment strategy.
In February, OpenAI completed $110 billion in funding at a valuation of $730 billion, with Nvidia, SoftBank, and Amazon among the major investors. Reports also indicate that OpenAI is preparing for an IPO later this year.
Nvidia’s move is expected to pave the way for the IPOs of both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company has provided any immediate comment on the matter.
