NVIDIA is already a shareholder. Neither side has announced an agreement or closing for the possible additional investment.

Other financing follows the withdrawn listingFirmus withdrew its Australian IPO earlier in October, citing market volatility and shareholder interests. The company operates computing infrastructure for AI workloads, with GPU capacity at the center of its business. Chips, data centers and supporting infrastructure require upfront funding, making access to capital important after the withdrawal.

An additional investment would give Firmus another capital source while supporting compute deployment. Equity funding can supplement financing options, but does not remove the operating requirements for customer demand, utilization and infrastructure delivery.
