Nscale: $3.36B Convertible Pre-IPO for AI DC Buildout — CRE AI Briefing, Sep 26, 2026

Nscale closed a $3.36 billion pre-IPO convertible led by Third Point, with $2.36 billion already funded and a $1 billion Nvidia commitment due mid-November, against more than $103 billion in contracted value to accelerate power plants, liquid-cooled halls, and GPU clusters. Meanwhile SoftBank priced $11.1 billion of high-yield bonds — the largest junk corporate sale on record — to fund its OpenAI stake, and it is clearing the last steps on a roughly $4.7 billion DigitalBridge buyout after FERC and CFIUS. Common thread for CRE: AI capital is still clearing for megawatt campuses, but about 45 data-center projects worth $68 billion were blocked or delayed by local pushback in Q2, so community veto and junk coupons now sit inside the underwriting.
