Oracle Commits $40 B to Nvidia Chips for OpenAI’s U.S. Stargate Data Center

Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is set to purchase roughly 400,000 of Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) top-tier GB200 chips—an investment totaling $40 billion—to power OpenAI's new data center in Abilene, Texas, part of the U.S. Stargate Project. The facility, slated to go live by mid-2026, will be leased to OpenAI under a 15-year agreement, helping the AI leader reduce reliance on Microsoft's cloud capacity.

Strategic Capital Deployment and Future Cash Flows

This $40 billion outlay represents one of the largest single-chip commitments in AI infrastructure history. To evaluate how Oracle's long-term cash flows will absorb this capex—and whether the lease revenues will justify the expense—analysts can model scenario-based projections using the Advanced DCF API. This enables a present-value analysis of the data center's 15-year lease income against the upfront chip investment.

Debt Financing and Credit Profile

JPMorgan arranged $9.6 billion in debt across two loans, while Crusoe and Blue Owl Capital provided approximately $5 billion in equity. Oracle's ability to service this incremental debt hinge on its balance sheet strength and cash flow coverage ratios.
