Rumors are circulating that Nvidia may soon add Bitcoin to its balance sheet—a move that has sparked both excitement and skepticism across the crypto and tech communities.
Speculation has been growing on social media that Nvidia may be considering adding Bitcoin to its corporate treasury, according to multiple media reports published on May 15. So far, the company has not issued any official statement in response.
The timing of the speculation coincides with Nvidia facing a range of macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges, including U.S. export restrictions under the Biden administration, tariffs imposed during Donald Trump’s presidency, rising global inflation, a weakening U.S. dollar, and intensifying competition in the GPU market.
Supporters of the move argue that Bitcoin could serve as a strategic hedge in a volatile economic environment. Some believe that adding the cryptocurrency to Nvidia’s balance sheet could help the company diversify its assets and protect against inflation.
Alex Guts, CEO of crypto-focused firm Vanse, commented, “We’ve already seen examples like MicroStrategy and Tesla invest a portion of their holdings in Bitcoin. A bold crypto strategy could attract attention and align Nvidia with forward-looking investors and companies.”
However, critics question whether such a move is necessary. Satish Patel, an analyst at European crypto asset manager CoinShares, warned that while Bitcoin can deliver strong gains during bull markets, it also carries significant downside risk. “Any Bitcoin investment should be backed by a long-term strategy, not driven by hype or market momentum,” he said.
For now, the rumors remain unconfirmed. But the debate itself reflects the growing pressure on major tech firms to navigate an increasingly uncertain financial landscape—and the allure of Bitcoin as a potential answer.
