The DOJ opened a formal antitrust probe into Nvidia’s December 2025 non-exclusive licensing deal with Groq after the $20 billion arrangement transferred inference chip technology and key executives without a full acquisition or Hart-Scott-Rodino filing. Traders assign only an 8.5% chance of a 2026 fine because the structure is common in AI, the transaction is already integrated into Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform with Groq 3 LPX racks in production, and regulators have signaled they are unlikely to unwind it even if they find issues. Broader scrutiny of reverse acquihires could still produce penalties if investigators determine the deal effectively consolidated inference capabilities and talent to stifle competition.

A qualifying penalty is a payment of any amount that Nvidia, or any parent, subsidiary, or successor of Nvidia, is ordered or agrees to pay to the United States government as a fine, civil penalty, criminal penalty, or disgorgement in connection with the Groq agreement, including any penalty for an alleged failure to file a premerger notification or observe a required waiting period for that agreement. The penalty must be announced by the DOJ, filed in court by the DOJ, or ordered by a court in a case brought by the DOJ; a penalty announced jointly by the DOJ and another federal agency qualifies. A penalty imposed or agreed to in a matter to which the DOJ is not a party will not qualify.
A settlement, consent decree, deferred prosecution agreement, non-prosecution agreement, or plea agreement in which Nvidia agrees to pay a qualifying penalty counts as of the date the DOJ announces it or files it in court, regardless of whether a court has approved it by the resolution date. A penalty that resolves allegations concerning the Groq agreement together with allegations concerning other matters qualifies, whether or not any portion of the penalty is attributed to the Groq agreement. A qualifying penalty counts regardless of whether it is later reduced, vacated, or appealed.
The following will not qualify on their own: the opening, continuation, or expansion of an investigation; subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information, or second requests for information; the filing of a complaint or lawsuit that seeks a penalty that has not yet been imposed or agreed to; statements about a possible or future penalty; non-monetary relief such as an order to unwind or modify the Groq agreement, divestitures, conduct remedies, or compliance monitoring; penalties imposed only on individuals; penalties imposed only on Groq, Inc. at a time when Groq is not a subsidiary of Nvidia; and penalties that concern only matters other than the Groq agreement.
If the DOJ publicly announces that it has closed its investigation into the Groq agreement without imposing or agreeing to a qualifying penalty and without filing a complaint or lawsuit against Nvidia concerning the Groq agreement, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. Department of Justice, including press releases and court filings from its Antitrust Division (https://www.justice.gov/atr); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
