CoreWeave, a US-based AI cloud-computing startup, acquires Core Scientific, a data center infrastructure provider, for $9 million in an all-stock deal.
The acquisition aims to accelerate CoreWeave's deployment of AI and HPC workloads at scale, enhancing operating efficiency and growth trajectory.
CoreWeave gains ownership of approximately 1.3 GW of power from Core Scientific's data center footprint, with possibilities for HPC contracts and crypto mining.
The deal, expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, aligns with CoreWeave's IPO strategy and anticipates $500 million in annual cost savings by 2027.
