AMD offered Meta and OpenAI warrants for roughly 20% of its stock to secure chip deals - a structure Nvidia doesn't need with 90% market control. The equity-backed agreements suggest AMD views these less as product sales than financial instruments to compete. Critics call it circular financing where chip purchases inflate AMD stock, benefiting customer warrants.

How Circular Deals Are Driving the AI Boom

The AI industry is being powered by a complex web of "Circular Deals"—where tech giants invest in startups that then use that money to buy cloud credits from those same giants.
