One proposed structure would insure loans to smaller cloud providers (neoclouds) that pledge Nvidia chips as collateral, protecting lenders if defaulted chips resell for less than the debt owed. Nvidia has shared data on chip depreciation rates and future compute value with at least one insurer, and has also considered joining consortiums of insurers, hedge funds, and asset managers to back financing deals. Nvidia argues its hardware is 'an investable asset class' due to being productive, durable, and fungible. Separately, startups are now offering 'residual value insurance' against AI chips losing value faster than expected, though traditional insurers are reportedly nearing their exposure limits to AI companies given the industry's scale relative to AI investment. The report follows Nvidia's record $150bn share buyback and neocloud Lambda's recent $917m and $1bn borrowing deals tied to Nvidia chip purchases. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
