SoftBank Group has reportedly sold its entire holding of Nvidia shares, cashing in approximately $5.83 billion to fuel its expanding investments in artificial intelligence
The Japanese tech conglomerate offloaded 32.1 million shares in October 2025, marking a strategic pivot away from the chipmaker that once anchored its Vision Fund portfolio.
The sale coincided with SoftBank’s announcement of a ¥2.5 trillion net profit for the July–September 2025 quarter, buoyed by gains from both Nvidia and a partial divestment of its T-Mobile stake.
AI ventures
Founder, Masayoshi Son is now redirecting capital towards ambitious AI ventures, including the Stargate data centre project and robotics manufacturing in the U.S.
While SoftBank remains entangled with Nvidia’s ecosystem through its AI-linked ventures, this exit signals a broader monetisation strategy amid growing scrutiny over tech sector valuations.
The move underscores Son’s intent to reshape SoftBank as a dominant force in next-generation AI infrastructure.
