The final option agreement with Core Scientific has been exercised by CoreWeave, which has added 120 MW of critical IT infrastructure to power Nvidia GPU operations.
Core Scientific, a Bitcoin miner, has disclosed the extension of its hosting agreement with CoreWeave, an artificial intelligence computing firm.
Core Scientific Integrates Additional CoreWeave Features
As per an announcement made on October 22, the extended agreement will increase the capacity of CoreWeave’s high-performance computing (HPC) operations by 120 megawatts (MW), bringing the total to 500 MW across six Core Scientific sites.
Core Scientific anticipates the revised partnership will generate up to $8.7 billion in revenue over the next 12 years.
At the moment of this writing, the company’s stock, CORZ, is trading at $13.48 on the Nasdaq exchange, representing a 5.1% increase.
The infrastructure is anticipated to become operational in the second half of 2026, following the commencement of the site modifications necessary to accommodate the additional capacity in the second half of 2025.
CoreWeave will fund all capital investments necessary to expand Core Scientific’s data centers, with $180 million in infrastructure investments to be credited against hosting fees. The extended contract also permits the possibility of two five-year renewal terms.
CoreWeave is a cloud infrastructure provider specializing in providing computing solutions for AI, machine learning, and other compute-intensive applications. The partnership will enable the organization to enhance its infrastructure.
The company’s amended agreement expands its AI services. It diversified its revenue streams a mere few months after it emerged from insolvency, following a period of significant exposure to Bitcoin BTC price fluctuations in 2022.
The company intends to allocate approximately 700 MW of its 1.2 gigawatts of total power to HPC hosting, while the remaining 500 MW will be utilized for its Bitcoin mining operations.
Adam Sullivan, CEO of Core Scientific, stated that there is a substantial demand for infrastructure to support next-generation compute workloads. He proceeded:
“We are now working to expand power allocations at some of our existing data centers to increase our capacity for HPC hosting while also continuing to evaluate new sites in our pipeline to expand our business opportunity.”
The companies initially disclosed their partnership in June 2024, which consisted of a 12-year agreement valued at $3.5 billion. At that time, Core Scientific’s infrastructure provided to CoreWeave comprised approximately 18% of its total operational capacity.
