👀👀🤔👉SoftBank Sells Entire Nvidia Stake for $5.83 Billion
SoftBank sold its entire stake in Nvidia for $5.83 billion in October 2025. This divestment aligns with SoftBank's strategic shift toward investing more heavily in artificial intelligence, particularly its increased commitments to OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. SoftBank's founder Masayoshi Son has been focusing on expanding AI-related ventures and semiconductor infrastructure. Despite the sale, SoftBank remains connected to Nvidia through various AI projects that use Nvidia's technology, including a major $500 billion data center project called Stargate in the United States.
This sale followed SoftBank increasing its Nvidia stake earlier in the year to about $3 billion by March and reflects a reallocation of assets rather than a negative outlook on Nvidia itself. The divestment contributed to SoftBank reporting a surprise net income of 2.5 trillion yen ($16.2 billion) in its fiscal second quarter, well above analyst expectations. SoftBank continues to hold stakes in other AI and tech companies and plans further investments in OpenAI and chip ventures.
