British AI data center developer Nscale said it secured $3.36 billion in convertible-note financing ahead of a planned US stock-market listing. The Third Point-led deal makes $2.36 billion available immediately, while a further $1 billion from Nvidia is due in mid-November. The notes would convert into shares after the IPO.

Nscale is developing large data center campuses in Norway and West Virginia. Its IPO filing lists more than $103 billion in contracts, according to TechCrunch. The financing adds capital for that buildout, although the Nvidia portion has yet to arrive and the listing has not been completed.
