A reported $2.2 million third-quarter lobbying figure could not be independently verified in the public records reviewed.

Nvidia reportedly spent about $2.2 million on federal lobbying during the third quarter of 2026. That amount could not be independently verified in the public filings and accessible coverage reviewed for this article.

An earlier Nvidia filing listed lobbying expenses of $1.25 million and identified semiconductor trade, artificial intelligence and export controls among its policy interests. That filing does not establish the reported third-quarter total. Confirmation of the newer amount and its scope remains outstanding.
