Nebius Seeks to Raise $4.5bn in Bond Offering

Nebius said proceeds will fund data center capacity, its full-stack AI cloud platform and GPU purchases, while shares fell more than 7% in premarket trading.

  • On Wednesday, Amsterdam-based AI cloud provider Nebius Group announced plans to raise $4.5 billion through a private convertible note offering to expand data center capacity and procure components for its full-stack AI cloud platform.
  • Heavy investment in data centers and GPU capacity drove the raise, as Nebius spent $5.66 billion on property and equipment in Q2 2026 alone to sustain 514% year-over-year growth in its AI cloud segment.
  • The offering splits into two series: $2.75 billion in notes maturing in 2030 and $1.75 billion due in 2034. Concurrently, the company plans to exchange existing 2029 and 2031 notes for Class A shares.
  • Shares of Nebius plunged 9% in Wednesday morning trading after the announcement. Management warned that exchange holders might sell Class A shares in the open market, triggering investor concern over dilution.
  • Rapid expansion across the 'neocloud' sector forces infrastructure providers like Nebius to repeatedly tap capital markets, funding expensive data center builds as companies compete for AI compute capacity and hardware.
