Google just bought the option to own a piece of the company building its AI chips—because when you can't own the supply chain outright, you lock in the next best thing. Marvell gave Google a warrant to buy up to $12.2 billion in Marvell shares as part of an expanded chip-development partnership

The companies building the future are now competing with the government for the money to fund it. AI infrastructure debt is pressuring long-end Treasury demand, says Goldman Sachs Asset Management's Lindsay Rosner — a real-world collision between Web4 buildout and sovereign borrowing.

The same scarcity that made NVIDIA a money printer might be masking the fact that nobody actually needs this much AI compute.

The more AI tokens crash, the more people use them—a pricing paradox that could make decentralized compute cheaper than cloud services by year-end.

Nvidia's problem isn't making chips fast enough — it's making sure customers can still afford to buy them when supply finally catches up.
