What investors see in the sale of AI chips to China
Nvidia and AMD can sell their AI chips to China for the low price of 15% of their revenue, paid out to the U.S. government. Investors are unfazed. Why it matters: Shareholders are focusing on the revenue opportunities that come with more access to Beijing, not on the unprecedented involvement of the Trump administration in Nvidia's business dealings. What they're saying: "There's way more upside," Daniel Newman, principal analyst and CEO of The Futurum Group, tells Axios. Catch up quick: The Trump administration previously backed export controls on Nvidia's H20 chips, which are "orders of magnitude" less powerful than Nvidia's Blackwell chips, Newman says. A month ago, the administration signaled that it was shifting course on these controls, but did not issue the licenses required for sales to be possible. That appeared to change after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with President Trump. Nvidia walked away with promises of licenses so long as the chip giant cut the U.S. government a check for 15% of its China revenue. Zoom in: Nvidia stock is up nearly 0.5% since the news broke Monday, with investors and analysts bullish on the deal. The lifting of the export controls could lead to a $15 billion revenue windfall for Nvidia. Both Nvidia and AMD have pricing power, given the strength of demand for AI chips in China, according to a note from Bank of America. That means the 15% expense could be passed on to Chinese customers. Between the lines: While the deal could lead to billions of dollars in additional revenue for the U.S. government, it's not just about the money. It's also about access to rare earth magnets, Newman says. The U.S. has powerful AI chips that China wants. China has rare earth metals the U.S. wants. When the administration first changed course on export controls in July, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC that selling the "fourth best" AI chip to China wasn't material. Lutnick also said the export control rollback was tied to a rare earths deal, though those details have not fully materialized. Yes. but: Export controls are typically put in place for a reason: in this case, national security concerns. The 15% revenue split, first reported by the Financial Times, includes an anonymous source quote that points to the security concerns: "What's next — letting Lockheed Martin sell F-35s to China for a 15% commission?" Situational awareness: Beijing is urging local companies to avoid buying chips from American companies because of its own security concerns. Newman says that may be political theater – an effort for China to keep the upper hand in ongoing negotiations. Chinese companies will likely still want access to the best possible chips. Be smart: In just January of this year, investors feared China outpacing the U.S. in the AI arms race given the reported success of DeepSeek.

Dealfounders Launches Revolutionary M&A Blueprint to Help Entrepreneurs Acquire Profitable Businesses with Minimal Capital
MIAMI, FL - August 12, 2025 - Dealfounders, a premier M&A education and advisory platform backed by a $20B+ dealmaking team, has officially launched its flagship program: the 180-Day Acquisition Blueprint. The initiative is designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs acquire profitable businesses without using their own capital or outside investors. Unlike generic courses or guru-led systems, Dealfounders delivers a robust, advisor-driven experience. The platform draws on the expertise of seasoned professionals from Goldman Sachs, top private equity firms, and Big Four consultancies - tailored specifically for first-time buyers, growth-stage operators, and investors looking to acquire both online and brick-and-mortar businesses. 'We're here to democratize acquisitions,' said Ricardo Moreano, advisory board member at Dealfounders and former director at Apax Partners and Dresdner Kleinwort. 'With the right guidance and structure, everyday entrepreneurs can do what institutional buyers have done for decades - acquire cash-flowing businesses, build equity, and exit profitably.' What Sets Dealfounders Apart Dealfounders offers comprehensive M&A education through step-by-step training modules in due diligence, deal structuring, and acquisition execution - all based on private equity best practices. Its advisory board comprises a collective with over $20B in closed deal volume, providing weekly coaching, live deal reviews, and real-time LOI feedback to clients. The program also specializes in creative financing strategies. Entrepreneurs learn how to use seller financing, SBA loans, and third-party capital, often acquiring businesses with as little as $0-$30K down. In addition, clients receive access to a done-for-you infrastructure that includes proprietary LOI templates, valuation models, vetted legal resources, and connections to trusted lenders. Proven Results by First-Time Buyers Dealfounders alumni - many with no prior M&A experience - have successfully acquired businesses valued between $500K and $10M. Sergiu acquired a $1.1 million web development agency using seller financing and now runs it in under 90 minutes per week. Amanda purchased a boutique marketing firm with just $25K down and has since doubled its revenue. In Texas, Marc - a former corporate analyst - closed on a seven-figure logistics company, with 95% of the deal financed via SBA. Many students are now acquiring their second and third businesses. 'This is about building lasting equity and real cash flow - not just another hustle,' said David Kralik, advisory board member and capital strategist who has helped raise over $300M for small businesses. 'We're giving people access to the same strategies institutional buyers have kept behind closed doors.'
