Nvidia's $99 billion portfolio adds SpaceX as #2 holding

Nvidia's $99 billion portfolio adds SpaceX as #2 holding

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    Nvidia's fiscal Q2 portfolio was worth roughly $99 billion. Intel stayed its largest holding at roughly $30 billion, while SpaceX, a newcomer, was second at roughly $21 billion.

  2. Why it matters

    SpaceX's stake came from Nvidia's initial $10 billion investment in xAI, which merged with SpaceX in February, and converted to SpaceX shares when Musk's company went public in June.

  3. What to watch

    Whether SpaceX stays a top Nvidia holding hinges on Musk's commitment to use Nvidia GPUs as the primary hardware for its data centers, a choice that appears to shut out AMD.

WHO IT HITSThis lands on investors who track Nvidia's 13F filing to read its AI bets, and it signals to Nvidia shareholders that the company's exposure now runs through Elon Musk's SpaceX data-center build-out.

Context & Analysis

Nvidia discloses its holdings each quarter through a 13F filing, a public form required when a company holds investments worth more than $100 million. That filing is why its portfolio gets read closely: it offers a window into where the most influential player in AI hardware is placing its money.

The headline move this quarter was SpaceX. Nvidia's position did not come from a direct bet on rockets or satellites, but from its initial $10 billion investment in xAI, which merged with SpaceX in February. Nvidia received private SpaceX shares when that merger closed, and those shares converted into stock in the public company when it went public in June. So a stake originally tied to an AI lab ended up sitting inside Musk's space-and-connectivity company.

What ties the three largest holdings together is that Nvidia has partnerships with each of them, and the relationship with SpaceX runs through data centers. Musk has committed to using Nvidia GPUs as the primary hardware for SpaceX's data centers, a choice that appears to leave AMD without a route into that business. Whether SpaceX keeps its place near the top of Nvidia's portfolio is likely to depend on how far that data-center build-out progresses.
