NVIDIA recently agreed to spend approximately $20 billion to acquire the core assets of AI chip startup Groq. This not only becomes one of NVIDIA's largest deals in history but also once again confirms its consistent strategy of preemptively "acquiring" potential competitors before they grow into threats. Although the transaction is described as a non-exclusive licensing agreement rather than a direct acquisition, the market generally perceives its actual effect as equivalent to deep integration. Just three months ago, Groq completed a $750 million funding round, reaching a valuation of $6.9 billion, with a significant increase in valuation in a short period. The funding lineup included BlackRock, Samsung, Cisco, and 1789 Capital, which has close ties to former President Donald Trump. In this deal, Groq's cloud computing business will be retained, while its core technology and key talent will be integrated into the NVIDIA ecosystem. Groq's founder and CEO, Jonathan Ross (one of the core designers of Google TPU), will join NVIDIA along with several other executives, and Groq will continue to operate independently under its current CFO.

BlockBeats News, December 25 — According to CNBC, Disruptive, the company leading the latest funding round for high-performance AI acceleration chip designer Groq, CEO Davis revealed that Nvidia has agreed to acquire Groq for $20 billion in cash. Since its founding in 2016, Davis's company has invested over $500 million in Groq, and he stated that the deal was reached quickly. Groq is expected to notify its investors about the transaction later on Wednesday evening. Davis mentioned that although the acquisition includes all of Groq's assets, its early-stage Groq Cloud business is not part of the deal. This will be Nvidia's largest acquisition to date, surpassing its previous largest purchase in 2019 of Israeli chip designer.

According to BlockBeats news on November 27, the latest research released by the Fed shows that the top 100 banks in the United States and 100 non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) have a high concentration risk at the "third-party service provider" level. If key cloud, payment, or core IT service providers experience a failure, it will quickly evolve into a cross-market systemic event. The model indicates that in extreme scenarios, the tail losses caused by systemic incidents could far exceed normal operational risks, with operational disruptions becoming the main source of loss rather than traditional credit events. From a macro-financial perspective, this study quantitatively confirms for the first time that "digital infrastructure failure" itself can trigger a financial crisis, rather than being merely an accompanying risk. When critical third-party nodes fail, it will simultaneously impact payment clearing, liquidity allocation, credit transmission, and risk hedging mechanisms, rapidly increasing the value of the dollar in the short term.
