Nebius Group Raises $1 Billion to Boost AI Infrastructure Globally

Nebius Group N.V., an AI infrastructure company backed by Nvidia, has secured $1 billion in debt financing to expand its global AI infrastructure, including markets in Asia. The company announced it has entered into definitive agreements for a private placement of senior unsecured convertible notes totaling $1 billion, split into two tranches.

The financing consists of $500 million in 2% convertible notes due 2029, and $500 million in 3% convertible notes due 2031. Nebius plans to use the net proceeds to grow its business by acquiring additional computing power, expanding its data center footprint, and supporting general corporate purposes.

Strong Capital Position to Accelerate Growth

Since raising $700 million in equity financing in December 2024, Nebius has been scaling its operations and global AI infrastructure footprint. The latest capital infusion provides more resources to accelerate growth and increase revenue opportunities in 2026.

The company aims to reach mid-single-digit billions in revenue as a high-margin business over the medium term, with potential upside. Nebius’ CEO, Arkady Volozh, emphasized that building foundational AI infrastructure requires significant capital investment.

Besides this latest funding, Nebius holds non-core assets and equity stakes in high-growth businesses, which can help support future funding needs. The company’s strong balance sheet and low-interest expenses position it to efficiently convert revenue growth into profits and reinvest in its core business.

Competitive Advantages and Strategic Outlook

• Access to capital markets for raising billions in additional funds
• Disciplined leverage management to minimize shareholder dilution
• Support from investors aligned with Nebius’ growth ambitions

These factors distinguish Nebius as it plans to deploy capital to support hypergrowth while maintaining financial discipline.
