The Big June Data Dump
9 June – 23 June 2026

Nyxoah completed approximately $110M in June financing, combining a $95M equity raise with a €13.8M second tranche from its European Investment Bank loan facility. The capital addresses a pressing funding need. As of March 31st, the company held €25.9M in cash against a quarterly operating loss near €20M, with management flagging going-concern doubt and a runway extending only into Q3 2026. The new financing is aimed primarily at the US commercial launch of Genio, its hypoglossal nerve stimulation system for obstructive sleep apnea, which received FDA approval in August 2025.
