ByteDance had bought more Nvidia chips than any other Chinese firm in 2025 as it raced to secure computing power.
In 2025, ByteDance purchased more Nvidia chips than any other Chinese company, driven by the need for computing power amidst concerns over U.S. supply restrictions. However, Chinese regulators have since barred the company from using Nvidia chips in new data centers, promoting a shift towards domestic AI processors. This move reflects China’s broader strategy to reduce reliance on U.S. technology amid ongoing trade tensions. As Washington enforces export controls on advanced semiconductors, Nvidia’s stock saw a slight increase despite these regulatory challenges.
