#NVIDIA Nvidia Locks Down SK Hynix Memory Supply in $500 Billion AI Deal
Nvidia secured AI memory supply from SK Hynix in a deal potentially worth $500B over several years — the largest single AI infrastructure commitment ever publicly announced. The agreement includes construction of large-scale data centers coming online in 2027, an SK Telecom cloud buildout requiring 2 gigawatts of power, and a $1B Nvidia investment in Korean cloud company Naver. The deal signals the AI infrastructure buildout is extending beyond US hyperscalers into foreign governments and conglomerates — and that Nvidia is aggressively securing HBM supply ahead of what it expects to be a sustained shortage. For crypto markets, a $500B AI deal confirms the AI capital rotation that pulled institutional money from Bitcoin ETFs is not a temporary theme — it is a decade-long infrastructure commitment that Bitcoin must compete with for institutional allocation.
