CoreWeave is set to acquire Core Scientific in a $9 billion all-stock deal, expected to close in Q4 2025.
The acquisition aims to eliminate over $10 billion in future lease obligations and generate $500 million in annual cost savings by 2027.
This deal signifies a growing convergence between AI infrastructure and crypto mining, with a possible shift towards high-performance computing.
The acquisition could lead to CoreWeave repurposing parts of Core Scientific's infrastructure or potentially divesting from the crypto mining business in the future.
