Expands Total Contracted HPC Infrastructure by
CoreWeave to Approximately 590 Megawatts of Critical IT Load at Six
Core Scientific Sites
New Agreement Boosts Total Projected Revenue to
$10.2 Billion over 12-year Contract Terms
Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: CORZ) (“Core
Scientific” or the “Company”), a leader in digital infrastructure
for high-performance computing (HPC) at scale, today announced an
expansion of its relationship with CoreWeave, an AI Hyperscaler.
The new agreement brings an additional $1.2 billion in contracted
revenue across Core Scientific’s Denton TX location, solidifying
Core Scientific’s position as a premier provider of
application-specific data centers for HPC workloads.
The 70 MW of additional contracted power at the Denton site
increases the full critical IT load to approximately 260 MW. The
agreement increases CoreWeave’s total contracted HPC infrastructure
with Core Scientific to approximately 590 MW across six sites. We
believe this addition aligns with CoreWeave’s growing need for
robust, high-density infrastructure to support NVIDIA GPU
operations.
“We are thrilled to deepen our relationship with CoreWeave as we
continue developing large-scale HPC projects that power advanced AI
and other low-latency workloads," said Adam Sullivan, Chief
Executive Officer of Core Scientific. "By expanding our capacity in
Denton, we’re building one of the largest GPU supercomputers in
North America — reinforcing Core Scientific’s leadership in
delivering high-density, high-performance digital infrastructure.
We look forward to delivering even greater value for both our
customers and shareholders.”
This latest announcement further positions Core Scientific as a
leader in the high-performance compute data center space. The
company is actively seeking additional sites to expand its HPC
hosting capacity. With over $10 billion in potential cumulative
revenue with CoreWeave, we believe Core Scientific is strategically
positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for energy-dense,
application-specific data centers.
Under the terms of our Agreement with CoreWeave with respect to
this additional 70MW, Core Scientific is responsible for funding
$104 million of the additional required capex ($1.5M per MW), with
CoreWeave responsible for the additional capex associated with the
expansion. The company also retains the option for two additional
five-year renewal terms.
With its 1.3 gigawatts of contracted power, Core Scientific
plans to provide a total of approximately 900 MW of gross capacity
for HPC hosting to support alternative compute workloads, based on
geographic proximity to major cities and fiber lines. The remaining
400 MW of contracted power is currently allocated to support the
Company’s bitcoin mining business.
