Nscale has secured a $1.4 billion Delayed Draw Term Loan (DDTL) financed by a syndicate of asset managers and banks, including PIMCO, Blue Owl, and LuminArx Capital Management. The financing is intended to support Nscale’s AI infrastructure deployments across Norway, Portugal, Iceland, and the UK.
The GPU-backed DDTL provides capital flexibility and allows Nscale to use debt financing for AI infrastructure projects. The loan structure supports the company’s approach to meeting demand for scalable AI infrastructure across Europe.
The loan is designed to fund capital expenditure primarily related to the acquisition and installation of multiple GPU clusters. These clusters are intended for customers under contract and for pipeline cluster developments, contributing to the company’s AI infrastructure expansion.
The participation of financial institutions reflects investor interest in AI infrastructure as a growing sector. With backing from asset managers and banking partners, the funding supports deployment of AI-related infrastructure and associated compute capacity.
Current market trends show increasing demand for AI infrastructure as organisations rely on artificial intelligence for operational and data processing requirements across sectors such as healthcare and financial services.
Although the funding is allocated to specific geographic regions, it may have broader economic implications, including infrastructure development and related activity within those markets.
Through the $1.4 billion Delayed Draw Term Loan, Nscale has secured financing to support its AI infrastructure expansion plans in Europe. The funding arrangement enables continued deployment of GPU clusters and associated infrastructure across its target markets.
