What happened
Nvidia's latest 13-F filing shows it owns eight stocks worth $63.4 billion in total, including Intel, SpaceX, CoreWeave, and Nebius. The article suggests Bloom Energy, a hydrogen fuel-cell company, could be a logical next investment for Nvidia.
Why it matters
AI's energy needs are a major bottleneck—Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI needs "1,000 times more power than we currently have." Bloom Energy, whose revenue jumped 166% in its latest quarter and is up nearly 2,000% in two years, has signed a $25 billion AI infrastructure power deal with Brookfield Asset Management.
What to watch
Bloom Energy recently crossed $1 billion in quarterly revenue and is used by every major U.S. hyperscaler and more than a dozen neoclouds, AI labs, and data center operators. Whether Nvidia actually invests remains speculative, but the article deems Bloom a "great choice."

Nvidia has built a diverse portfolio of AI-related investments, spanning chips (Intel), cloud compute (CoreWeave, Nebius), optics (Coherent), telecom (Nokia), design software (Synopsys), and even SpaceX and generative biology (Generate Biomedicines). This pattern shows Nvidia aims to secure its ecosystem and bet on key AI infrastructure areas.
Energy is emerging as a critical constraint for AI expansion, and Bloom Energy is a fast-growing player in that space. Its recent $25 billion partnership with Brookfield Asset Management and adoption by major U.S. hyperscalers highlight its relevance. While Nvidia hasn't made any move yet, the article's reasoning aligns with Nvidia's established strategy of investing in partners and emerging AI needs.
However, this remains speculative—the article itself says predicting future acquisitions is difficult. Nvidia's focus on its chip business and existing partnerships might not extend to energy, which is a different domain. Still, given Huang's comments about power needs, an energy investment could be a natural fit.
