Rumor — unconfirmed: Nvidia ($NVDA) is reportedly discussing another ₿12,018.51 ($1 billion) investment in humanoid robotics company Figure. A Bitget News brief carries the claim and attributes it to The Information. BitcoinVersus.Tech has not independently verified the underlying report or located an official announcement confirming this additional investment.

The distinction matters: discussions can change, end without a deal, or produce different terms. This article reports a circulating funding claim; it does not establish that Nvidia has committed the money or that Figure has received it.

What Is Reported

The claim concerns an additional investment by Nvidia in Figure. The available brief supplies no transaction documents, ownership percentage, closing date, or valuation for the proposed investment. Those details remain unknown. Attribution to The Information is carried by the secondary brief and has not been independently authenticated against the original article.

What Is Already Confirmed

Figure’s September 16, 2025 Series C announcement disclosed more than $1 billion in total committed capital at a $39 billion post-money valuation. Parkway Venture Capital led that round, and Nvidia was among the participating investors. Figure did not disclose Nvidia’s individual contribution in that announcement.

That earlier round establishes an existing investment relationship. It does not confirm the new rumor, and its total funding amount should not be mistaken for a billion-dollar contribution from Nvidia alone.

Why Another Investment Would Matter

If an additional investment is confirmed, it would provide more capital for Figure’s effort to turn humanoid robotics into a scalable business. The company’s 2025 announcement identified robot production and deployment, GPU infrastructure for training and simulation, and data collection as funding priorities. Whether a new investment would fund those same priorities is not established.

The technical challenge extends beyond financing. BitcoinVersus.Tech’s coverage of Figure’s Helix work in unfamiliar homes examines how learned behavior transfers between environments. Our explainer on AI training and inference describes the difference between learning a model and running it. Reliable deployment also depends on physical hardware, including the actuators that move humanoid joints.

What Would Confirm the Rumor

An announcement from Nvidia or Figure, a relevant regulatory disclosure, or independently corroborated reporting with clear transaction terms would strengthen the evidence. Until then, the proposed amount, timing, and deal structure should be treated as unconfirmed. The cover is an illustrative image of a generic humanoid, not a photograph of Figure equipment.

Currency context: ₿12,018.51 is an approximate comparison using a Bitcoin price of $83,205 checked on October 7, 2026. The reported investment is denominated in U.S. dollars; no Bitcoin payment is alleged.
