AMD to Backstop $300 Million Crusoe Loan, Following Nvidia Playbook

Chipmaker AMD is pursuing the same growth-driving strategy that has boosted sales at rival Nvidia: lending its financial support to upstart cloud providers buying its chips. AMD will effectively guarantee a $300 million loan for data center and cloud startup Crusoe to purchase AMD’s AI chips and install them in a data center in Ohio. The loan from Goldman Sachs will be backed by the chips and related equipment, said people with knowledge of the deal.

on… Crypto Is Getting Bashed in Markets and Washington
The stablecoin fight is a proxy battle over who gets to be the next deposit‑taker in the U.S. financial system. The irony, however, is that, at the end of the day, crypto currencies are just not easy or practical to for everyday use. We've had a decade + of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (ETH), where real-world experience has failed to catch up with the hype.
