Nebius Joins Race for Decart AI

Israeli technology outlet CTech reported that Nebius has entered negotiations involving Decart AI. Nvidia, Amazon and SpaceX have also reportedly joined discussions around a possible acquisition. Earlier reports also linked Anthropic to the startup as competition around its technology increased.

Reports place Decart AI’s potential valuation between $6 billion and $7 billion. The company develops real-time generative models and supporting infrastructure for advanced computing workloads. Its products include Oasis and Mirage, which demonstrate real-time generation across gaming and video applications.

Decart’s Optimization Stack may carry the greatest strategic value for cloud infrastructure providers. The software can reportedly increase GPU inference throughput by up to eight times on existing hardware. Greater computing efficiency could strengthen economics for companies operating large GPU clusters.

$5 Billion Debt Raise Supports Nebius Expansion

Nebius increased its latest debt offering to $5 billion from an initial $4.5 billion. The transaction marks its third debt raise exceeding $1 billion within one year. The company also entered the raise with more than $8 billion already held on its balance sheet.

Nebius plans to direct the proceeds toward data centers and its full-stack AI cloud platform. It also intends to acquire GPUs and other components needed to expand computing capacity. As a result, the financing gives Nebius more resources for its ongoing global infrastructure buildout.

The company signed a five-year AI infrastructure agreement with Meta Platforms valued at $12 billion. Nebius also targets between 800 megawatts and one gigawatt of connected power during 2026. Its data center expansion currently spans Missouri, Pennsylvania, Finland and the United Kingdom.

Growth Remains Strong as Debt and Dilution Rise

Nebius reported second-quarter revenue of $582 million, representing 454% annual growth. Demand from customers including Meta and Microsoft has supported the company’s expanding cloud operations. Nvidia also holds an approximately 9.3% stake in Nebius as GPU demand continues rising.

The latest fundraising announcement initially pressured NBIS shares and retail market sentiment. The stock fell 10.03% Wednesday to $223.51 after dropping as much as 14% intraday. Trading volume reached 48.8 million shares, well above its three-month average of 21.3 million.

Nebius also agreed to exchange $800 million of earlier convertible notes for 15.8 million shares. That transaction represents approximately 5.5% dilution for existing shareholders based on reported estimates. Still, NBIS has gained more than 220% this year as revenue and infrastructure spending accelerate.
