Nvidia said on Monday that it would spend another $150 billion buying back its own shares, adding to what it said was the largest repurchase in history, as the chip company continues to cash in on a global race to dominate artificial intelligence.

The increase comes four months after the A.I. chipmaker’s board added $80 billion to the company’s buyback program, bringing the total remaining amount authorized to $235 billion.
 
Out of curiosity as one who let's someone else deal with my investments, can they just forcibly buy your shares back? Or do you have to willingly agree?

purely bought back on the open market, for incredibly liquid stock does not tend to be an issue, specially for an buyer that do not mind paying more and more for them and mind zero if it take weeks (there is rule to how much they can do it daily, based on a max percentage the volume the share trade daily).

to take nvidia, avg volume is 124 millions stock being sold daily for or about 28 billions a day, if Nvidia keep it at 25% of them we bought by Nvidia via the buyback program that would take about a month
 
Typically during a buyback they are offering more than the current market value of the stock. It's usually pretty easy to get enough folks to take the deal.

To add to this, generally these are authorizations, meaning the board is allowed to initiate purchases up to the authorized amount. It doesn't specify when they do the buying or what price they buy the shares at.

Not how that works for buybacks. The board authorizes share repurchases up to a total amount and then cancels the shares to shrink the float and boost earnings per share (fewer shares means smaller denominator, and therefore bigger number). These are bought on the open market at open value, and they have discretion as to when they execute the trades. They won't offer a premium price for the shares because they don't have to. You're probably thinking about what happens when a company seeks to go private and have to buy up the entire outstanding share float.
