By positioning itself as the indispensable compute layer and actively shaping how AI buildout gets financed—through partnerships, infrastructure plays, and ecosystem bundling—Nvidia has created a scenario where massive AI capex commitments become locked in across enterprises, cloud providers, and governments.
