Nvidia will acquire $1.0 billion of newly issued shares of South Korea's Naver as part of an investment partnership to build an AI datacenter, according to Naver's regulatory filing reported by Reuters. The $1B equity stake is tied to a plan to expand Naver's GAK Sejong AI datacenter and broader DSX AI factory efforts in South Korea, with Brookfield and others participating in funding for capacity expansion. Multiple outlets report Nvidia's $1B investment will support a scale‑up of Naver's AI infrastructure (reports cite expansion to 200MW by 2028). The transaction signals direct capital deployment into a customer/partner to secure GPU demand and accelerate regional sovereign AI infrastructure.
