But even if those companies disappear overnight, and LLMs are blanket banned worldwide, aren’t they (pun intended) still in the green?

No, because they don’t actually have a giant bag of money.
They invest in companies who buy their product. But that product hasn’t actually been made yet. Nvidia is writing it down as sale because the contract was signed, but no exchange was made.
So it’s like me giving you 10 bucks to buy 10 bucks off product from me in two years in return for a few percent of your profit.
However, if you go bankrupt between now and actually buying my product, I will be down 10 bucks and my share of the profit.

Money is more fake every day
Yeah, any money says their books are cooked to high heaven. There’s no way whatsoever their numbers are GAAP compliant.
A hardware company deeply invested in these other companies…
you know… investment so they buy in the hardware…
