NVIDIA’s $2 Billion Nebius Investment Deepens AI Infrastructure Financing Loop
Mondeum Capital (UK) Limited
NVIDIA plans to invest $2 billion in Nebius, a cloud-computing company based in Amsterdam. This move strengthens the company’s ongoing financing strategy as demand for AI infrastructure keeps growing.
The investment will help Nebius add over five gigawatts of computing capacity by 2030. After the news, Nebius shares rose 16% in early trading, raising its market value above $24 billion. Nebius started as part of Yandex’s international operations and has grown from serving small AI startups to becoming a major infrastructure provider. It now has a $17.4 billion agreement with Microsoft and a $3 billion contract with Meta Platforms.
This deal fits Nvidia’s usual investment strategy. Earlier this year, Nvidia bought a $2 billion stake in CoreWeave and recently committed $30 billion to OpenAI. Nvidia often invests in companies that buy a lot of its hardware. Some critics say this could inflate demand, but supporters believe it is a smart way to use extra cash, reduce reliance on a few customers, and secure future chip sales.
Shares of other neocloud companies also rose after the news, showing that many believe AI infrastructure is still growing quickly.
The Nebius announcement coincided with Oracle’s news that it had secured over 10 gigawatts of power and data center capacity, which will be available in the next three years. This shows that both large and new cloud companies are working quickly to meet what Nvidia’s CEO called a surge in global demand for intelligence.recurring revenue of between $7 billion and $9 billion by year-end, with connected power capacity projected to reach between 800 megawatts and one gigawatt by the close of 2026.
