On May 28, 2026, Morpheus Research published a report alleging the DarkNX data center deal was fabricated, after which Innventure stock fell 8% to close at $5.87 per share that day.[^1]

Filings released 28 September 2026 show Nvidia data center revenue grew from $830 million in fiscal 2017 to $193.7 billion in fiscal 2026.[^2]

Over the ten year period ending 1 September 2026, Nvidia stock increased 140.3x in USD price, while Bitcoin increased 135.3x.[^3]

For a South Korean investor that placed 100 million KRW in each asset at the start of that window, pre-tax returns were nearly matched. After applying taxes, Bitcoin returned 32 billion KRW more than Nvidia on sale in 2026.[^4]

Also on 28 September 2026, researchers at TU Wien published a study concluding data centers must adapt to electrical grids, not grids to data centers, to enable the energy transition.[^5]
