Cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $56.6B. The company issued $25.0B of senior unsecured notes for general corporate purposes.
- Supply and capacity commitments rose from $119B to $279B, primarily for memory; scheduled commitments totaled $366B, with a separate $56B of additional AI-cloud and third-party data-center commitments. Maximum gross guarantee exposure was $108.5B, including a $105B cap for SB Energy’s approximately 4.25-GW Ohio site, which is planned to host NVIDIA infrastructure under 20-year leases to OpenAI; the first data centers are expected to be ready in FY2029.
