ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have reportedly placed orders exceeding $35 billion for Nvidia chips, according to the Kansas City Star.
The reported total covers orders by the three Chinese technology companies, but the available summary does not break down the amount by company. It also does not specify when the orders were placed, which Nvidia chip models were involved or when deliveries are expected.
The report, as summarized, provides no further details about the purpose of the purchases or the terms of the orders. It does not state whether the orders have been fulfilled, whether they are subject to conditions, or whether any parties have publicly confirmed them.
The figure is reported as exceeding $35 billion; no more precise total is provided. The summary also does not clarify how the Kansas City Star obtained the information or whether the amount represents completed purchases, pending orders or another measure.
Without those details, the reported figure cannot be allocated among ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent, and the timing and status of the orders remain unclear. The available information supports only the central claim that the three companies reportedly placed Nvidia chip orders totaling more than $35 billion, as attributed to the newspaper.
