Going asset-light can be a smart move for a company that is spending heavily to grow. Instead of owning every piece of infrastructure on its books, a business can bring in outside capital, free up cash, and still keep using the assets it needs to run. That logic is becoming increasingly relevant for Amazon (AMZN), as the e-commerce giant seeks how to fund its massive artificial intelligence (AI) push without putting even more pressure on its balance sheet.
According to a Financial Times report, Amazon is seeking to offload about $8 billion worth of advanced Nvidia (NVDA) chips to external investors through a new special-purpose vehicle. The proposal involves thousands of Grace Blackwell chips installed across more than a dozen U.S. data centers in five states, including Nevada and Virginia.
