Bitcoin’s sanity check for a broken system

Nvidia&#8217;s accelerator program appears to sidestep digital assets startups, with 
its help section listing crypto-focused companies as ineligible to join the 
tech giant&#8217;s global network of founders.
According to the program website, crypto companies and four other types of 
businesses are excluded from participating in Nvidia&#8217;s Inception: consulting 
and outsourced development firms, cloud service providers, resellers and 
distributors, and companies that are already public.

The move indicates a shift in Nvidia&#8217;s policy regarding crypto startups in its 
accelerator program. For instance, in 2018, the company accepted Ubex &#8212; a 
startup combining blockchain and AI for digital advertising &#8212; in its 
Inception program. 
A Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment on the eligibility policy. The 
Inception Program is designed for companies younger than 10 years in all 
stages of funding.
Nvidia is best known for its semiconductors, which play a crucial role in 
powering microchips for data centers. That same processing power has also made 
Nvidia&#8217;s hardware popular among crypto miners, with the company having 
previously explored crypto-related use cases for its products.

## Nvidia and the US-China AI race
Nvidia is one of the most valuable companies in the world in terms of market 
capitalization and a key player in the global artificial intelligence race.
The company introduced its H20 chip in 2024, designed to comply with US export 
restrictions imposed during the Biden administration aimed at limiting China&#8217;s 
access to advanced AI hardware.
Despite being less powerful than Nvidia&#8217;s top-tier chips, the H20 chips could 
still enable significant AI advancements in China. In response, the Trump 
administration imposed stricter export controls to require special licenses 
for H20 exports to China &#8212; a move that could impact Nvidia&#8217;s sales.
According to the BBC, China accounted for 13% of Nvidia&#8217;s sales in 2024. The 
company anticipates a $5.5 billion revenue hit tied to US export restrictions.
