Infinite money glitch
A tongue-in-cheek name for circular AI deals in which the same money loops among a few companies — for example, a chipmaker investing in an AI lab that spends the money on cloud contracts, while the cloud provider uses that revenue to buy the chipmaker's chips. Each company books revenue or a higher valuation, which critics say can overstate real demand.
Origin
Borrowed from gamer slang for an exploit that generates unlimited in-game currency. Applied on social media in fall 2025 to the Nvidia, OpenAI and Oracle deals; a Reef Insights explainer and graphic spread the phrase in October 2025.
