Nvidia has confirmed reports that it is financially backing SoftBank's massive data center at the Portsmouth Site in Pike County, Ohio, with up to $105 billion in financing, a securities filing revealed on Monday.
The project, led by SB Energy, is set to be fully leased to OpenAI. The facility could grow to 10GW, making it the world's largest data center, but Nvidia will initially support the first 4.25GW, DataCenterDynamics reported.
In a LinkedIn post, Nvidia CEO and founder Jensen Huang confirmed that his company would partner with SB Energy to help secure land, power, and shell (LPS) capacity at the Department of Energy (DOE) site.
The GPU giant will provide a $105bn backstop for the project, helping lower debt costs, similar to previous SPV project financings and reusing the structure popularized by Meta in late 2025 with its Project Beignet off balance sheet structure to fund its massive Hyperion data center . It had initially planned to support as much as $250bn, but faced investor pushback over the extent of the risk.
As a reminder, META is already neck deep in off-balance sheet debt. Here is a schematic of its $27.3 billion SPV with Blue Owl "Project Beignet" for the Hyperion data center. None of this touches META's balance sheet.
