Event / reporting date: October 22, 2026.

Nebius entered a $3.5 billion senior secured Citi facility with a 364-day maturity. Pricing starts at the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate benchmark plus 2.75 percentage points and can rise to 3.50 points, subject to other adjustments. Intended uses include data centers and graphics processors. Management cites more than $40 billion of long-term customer commitments as a potential foundation for further financing.

PREMIA VIEW · ANALYSIS

Why it matters for owners, operators and investors

Suppliers and investors should match payment schedules to committed funding and deployment milestones. Short-term funding can accelerate construction, but maturity and customer concentration still matter.

WHAT REMAINS UNCERTAIN

The announcement does not establish that the full facility has been drawn. Customer commitments are not recognized revenue, and longer-term financing terms remain unresolved.
