This marks the first time the US government has demanded direct revenue sharing from tech companies' AI chip sales to specific countries, rather than just implementing export controls. This unprecedented financial control mechanism over advanced AI technology creates a new form of economic governance that could enable future prophetic control systems.
US Claims 15% of Nvidia/AMD AI Chip Revenue from China Sales
📰 What Happened
The US government has imposed a 15% revenue sharing requirement on AMD and Nvidia for their AI chip sales to China in exchange for export licenses. The news caused AMD stock to fall 2.3% and Nvidia to drop 1% in premarket trading. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency markets surge with Bitcoin reaching $122K and Ethereum hitting $4350, their highest since 2021. The developments come ahead of a crucial Trump-Putin summit and potential changes in US-China soybean trade relationships.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The 15% revenue sharing mandate represents a significant shift toward centralized control over advanced technology trade. This aligns with prophetic expectations of economic control systems, as it combines three key elements: 1) direct government profit from private sector AI sales, 2) nation-specific technology restrictions, and 3) integration with cryptocurrency markets hitting record highs ($122K Bitcoin). These developments enable both the technological infrastructure and governmental control mechanisms described in Revelation 13's economic system, while the Trump-Putin summit signals the type of concentrated power structures prophesied for the end times.
