Proceeds from the offering will be used to expand data center capacity, invest in the company's full-stack AI cloud platform and acquire GPUs and other key components needed to support growth.
Alongside the debt offering, the company expects to enter privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of its existing convertible notes due 2029 and 2031 to exchange part of the notes for Class A shares.
The completion of the offering remains subject to market conditions, the company said.
Nebius ended June with $8.04 billion in cash and cash equivalents, but spent $5.66 billion on property, equipment and intangible assets in the second quarter, reflecting heavy investment in data centers and computing capacity.
Nebius shares were down more than 7% in premarket trading.
