As of July 27, 2026 at 12:00 noon, media reports from various sources say that Nvidia is in talks with OpenAI and intends to provide a financial guarantee of around $250 billion for Ohio data center project. The project is managed by SoftBank, with planned computing capacity reaching 10 gigawatts.
Let’s first break down the nature of this money. The guarantee is not equity, and therefore does not get recorded in OpenAI’s owner’s equity. The guarantee is also not revenue, so it will not appear in Nvidia’s income statement for the current period. Instead, the guarantee is a contingent liability—only if the tenant defaults would it be converted into actual spending.
The logic runs in four steps. Nvidia provides credit enhancement. The project company uses that to obtain low-cost debt. The debt is then converted into construction investment. The bulk of the construction investment goes to purchasing GPUs, and those purchases ultimately flow back into Nvidia’s revenue.

Michael Burry announced on July 26, 2026, news of increasing his short position: Micron at $933.86, Nvidia at $210.28, Caterpillar at $893.49, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF at $535.83.
The market took this as a bearish signal, interpreting it as a warning from the “big short” to AI.
What’s being overlooked is the cost of opening the position.
In early July, Burry had shorted Micron at $1,051.87, saying the semiconductor sector might see a pullback of around 30%. The added position is now at $933.86.
From $1,051.87 to $933.86, the underlying has already dropped by 11.2%. This add-on was made on top of an existing profit, not while holding an underwater position.
Surprisingly, it took four years to be noticed. A former NetEase game executive has been sentenced for stealing and selling accounts. While serving as an approval supervisor, he abused his back-end permissions and changed the passwords of 171 Dream Journey accounts that had not been logged into for a long time, then illegally sold the equipment for profit of 1.736 million yuan.
Currently, the court has officially issued a first-instance verdict. In addition to refunding the illegal proceeds, he was sentenced to three years of suspended imprisonment and fined 20,000 yuan.
