Current report
Core Scientific, Inc. is a leader in designing, building and operating large-scale purpose-built data centers for HDC services. We develop and operate facilities serving AI and HPC related workloads and are a provider of digital infrastructure to our third-party customers. The majority of our revenue is derived from HDC service.
Current report
Our strategic objective is to maximize the value of our large-scale data center infrastructure portfolio by converting power capacity across our facilities into long-term contracted HDC revenue streams. We believe this strategy enhances the predictability of future cash flows, reduces the relative contribution of bitcoin market volatility to our operating results, and increases the long-term value of our infrastructure platform relative to its historical use in digital asset mining operations.
Current report
We expect colocation revenue to increase as additional contracted capacity is commissioned and delivered to our existing customer and as we add new customer relationships over time. We continue to operate a self-mining fleet at two facilities and provide hosted mining services to one remaining customer. Our hosted mining operations are expected to conclude by December 31, 2026, while we continue to wind down our self-mining operations.
Current report
2026 Highlights:
Current report
•On July 28, 2026, we announced a strategic commercial relationship with AMD with the potential to support up to 2.5 GW of leasable capacity, anchored by a 15-year agreement for approximately 530 MW across five sites.
Current report
•Billable customer power capacity of 395 MW as of June 30, 2026, against 590 MW of leased customer power capacity, with the remaining 195 MW in various stages of construction and commissioning.
Current report
•On May 5, 2026, we closed on the acquisition of land and related electrical power in Hunt County, Texas for approximately $233 million in cash, which is expected to support approximately 430 MW of gross power capacity, with an approved ERCOT interconnection ramp schedule. For additional details, see Note 3 — Asset Acquisition to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Current report
•In May 2026, we announced our entry into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire Polaris DS LLC, for approximately $421 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The acquisition will add approximately 40 additional acres adjacent to our existing data center operating in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and will provide up to 440 MW of gross utility power capacity. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. For additional details, see Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Current report
These operational milestones, together with the strategic financing and portfolio developments outlined above, drove the financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, which are summarized below.
Current report
Financial Results:
Current report
•Total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $164.2 million and $279.4 million, respectively, compared to $78.6 million and $158.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
◦Colocation revenue was $136.7 million and $214.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $10.6 million and $19.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in colocation revenue was driven by incremental billable customer power capacity delivered to our customer.
Current report
◦Digital asset self-mining revenue was $21.5 million and $51.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $62.4 million and $129.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease reflected a reduction in bitcoin mined of 53% and 49% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as a decline in the average bitcoin price of 27% and 23% for the same periods, respectively.
Current report
◦The increase in colocation revenue and corresponding decline in self-mining revenue reflects the continued execution of our strategy to reallocate power capacity from digital asset mining to long-term contracted colocation services.
Current report
•Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, compared to $936.8 million and $360.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by the change in fair value of warrants. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was also impacted by a $266.5 million impairment charge on mining-related property, plant and equipment recognized during the first quarter of 2026.
Current report
•Capital expenditures were $954.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, of which $180.9 million was funded by CoreWeave pursuant to its existing colocation service agreement with the Company.
Current report
•Cash and cash equivalents and digital assets totaled $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2026.
Current report
On July 27, 2026, the Company entered into Lease Agreements (collectively, the “AMD Leases”) with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”) for an aggregate of 377 MW of critical IT capacity at the Company’s Pecos, TX; Muskogee, OK; and Hunt County, TX sites; and Lease Agreements (the “Neocloud Leases,” and collectively with the AMD Leases, the “Leases”) with a Neocloud (“Neocloud”), for 152 MW of critical IT capacity at the Company’s Auburn, AL and Dalton Phase 3, GA sites. Each of the Leases is for a fifteen year term with three five-year options. The AMD Leases provide AMD a reservation of capacity right to lease from the Company at certain times and under certain circumstances an additional 1,925 MWs of critical IT capacity through December 28, 2028.
Current report
In connection with the Neocloud Leases, each of the Company, Neocloud and AMD has entered into a Credit Support Agreement with respect to each Neocloud Lease: (i) establishing protections for AMD equipment held within the applicable Neocloud Lease premises, (ii) providing AMD the right, but not the obligation, to cure certain defaults of Neocloud under the applicable Neocloud Lease, and (iii) establishing AMD’s rights and obligations in the event of certain material defaults by a Neocloud with respect to the applicable Neocloud Lease. Each Credit Support Agreement will terminate automatically upon earliest to occur of the expiration of the applicable Neocloud Lease, specified circumstances relating to the insolvency or default of Neocloud, and 15 years from the effective date of the applicable Neocloud Lease. In addition, AMD may terminate the applicable Credit Support Agreement upon the Company’s breach of a material representation, subject to a specified cure period.
Current report
In addition, the Company issued to AMD a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 30 million shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $23.47 per share, which represents the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the five trading days prior to execution of the Leases.
Current report
The Warrant is exercisable immediately, subject to satisfaction of the vesting conditions therein, and will terminate on July 27, 2031. The Warrant Shares will vest at a rate of 12,222 shares per each one megawatt (“MW”) of critical IT load contemplated by the Leases. As a result of the Leases executed on July 27, 2026, an aggregate of approximately 6.5 million Warrant Shares vested and became exercisable.
Current report
The Warrant was issued, and the Warrant Shares are expected to be issued, in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Current report
High-density colocation is now our primary business. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, colocation revenue represented 77% of total revenue, compared to 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting the rapid scaling of billable customer power capacity under our agreement with CoreWeave. We expect colocation to represent an increasingly dominant share of our results as additional capacity is commissioned and delivered, gradually reducing our exposure to bitcoin spot price volatility and the operational risks associated with digital asset mining. During the transition period, our consolidated results reflect both the ramp up of colocation revenue and the planned decline of our mining operations, and we expect this dynamic to continue as additional contracted capacity is placed in service.
Current report
In addition to converting our existing facilities we are also developing new data center sites, including our recently acquired Hunt County, Texas campus. Both conversion and new site development carry meaningful execution risks, including construction cost variability, equipment lead times, permitting uncertainty, and technical requirements associated with high-density colocation workloads.
Current report
Our colocation revenue is currently derived entirely from a single customer, CoreWeave, a provider of HPC services. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, CoreWeave represented approximately 77% of our total revenue. This concentration means that our financial results, liquidity and cash flows are highly dependent on CoreWeave’s continued performance of its obligations under our license agreements, its financial health, and its ongoing demand for our data center capacity.
Current report
Any material adverse change in CoreWeave’s business, financial condition or ability to perform under our license agreements could have a disproportionate impact on our revenue, results of operations and liquidity. Our deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2026 includes significant customer prepayments for capacity not yet delivered. To the extent we are unable to deliver contracted capacity on schedule, or if our customer relationship was disrupted, our revenue recognition, deferred revenue obligations and capital recovery could be materially affected.
Current report
A key strategic priority is diversifying our customer base by signing new colocation customers. Our ability to do so depends on a number of factors, including the availability and timing of unleased capacity at our facilities, the competitive environment for high-power data center capacity, pricing dynamics in the colocation market, and our ability to demonstrate reliable execution on our existing contract. Until we successfully diversify our customer base, our financial results will remain highly sensitive to the performance of our relationship with CoreWeave.
Current report
In our Colocation segment, power costs are passed through to our customer without markup and are recognized as revenue on a gross basis, with a corresponding charge to cost of colocation services. As a result, changes in power prices affect colocation revenue and cost of services in equal measure, with no corresponding impact on colocation gross profit. However, significant changes in power prices can cause large fluctuations in reported colocation revenue and cost of revenue that are not indicative of changes in underlying operating performance. Nonetheless, this pass-through structure provides an important degree of insulation from power price volatility on our largest and fastest growing revenue stream.
Current report
Our Digital Asset Self-Mining segment revenue is directly dependent on the spot price of bitcoin. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, self-mining represented 18% of total revenue, down from 82% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as we have strategically reallocated power capacity from mining to colocation operations.
Current report
Bitcoin prices continue to affect the performance of our Digital Asset Self-Mining segment, including mining revenue, the value of digital assets held on our balance sheet, and the recoverability of mining-related assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, deteriorating mining economics contributed to a $266.5 million impairment charge on mining-related assets. As our transition to colocation progresses, we expect bitcoin market conditions to have a diminishing effect on our overall financial results.
Current report
We continue to manage our self-mining fleet with a focus on generating cash flows and covering power expenses while we execute our colocation transition. We will be opportunistic in monetizing our bitcoin holdings, subject to market conditions and our treasury strategy.
Current report
As we wind down our mining operations and reallocate capacity to colocation, network difficulty affects the rate at which we are able to generate value from our remaining mining fleet during the transition period. We are not investing in new mining equipment to maintain or expand our mining hash rate. Rather, our focus is on maximizing the cash generation from our existing fleet while we convert facilities and, where appropriate, selling or otherwise monetizing mining equipment as we retire it from service. To the extent network difficulty increases materially or bitcoin transaction fees decline, the revenue and cash generation from our remaining fleet during the transition period will be reduced.

Debt Service and Capital Requirements
Current report
Our Competition
Current report
In our Colocation segment, we compete for customers and capacity with major data center real estate investment trusts, developers of purpose-built data centers and other operators with high-power capacity suitable for AI and HPC workloads. Competition in this market focuses primarily on facility location, timing, power capacity availability and scale, reliability and uptime, reputation, technical specifications including power density and cooling capabilities, pricing and contract terms, speed of delivery, and track record of execution. Our ability to attract new colocation customers and diversify beyond our current single-customer concentration depends on our ability to compete effectively across these dimensions.
Current report
The market for HDC capacity serving AI workloads has grown rapidly, and competition for both customers and new sites has intensified. Competition for new power capacity and land sites is particularly acute, as utilities and grid operators have limited interconnection capacity in many markets and the lead times for securing new power agreements can be significant. Our ability to secure attractive new sites and power agreements before competitors do is an important factor affecting our long-term growth.
Current report
In our Digital Asset Self-Mining segment, competition is driven by access to low-cost power, mining fleet efficiency, scale, and capital availability. As we wind down our mining operations, our ability to compete effectively as a miner becomes a declining factor in our overall financial performance. We will continue to manage our existing fleet with a focus on cash generation rather than competitive positioning, and we do not intend to make material new investments in mining capacity.
Current report
Billable Customer Power Capacity is the primary driver of our Colocation segment revenue in each period, as revenue recognition commences when capacity is delivered and service begins. The gap between Leased Customer Power Capacity and Billable Customer Power Capacity represents contracted capacity for which we are constructing and commissioning infrastructure, and reflects our near-term revenue growth opportunity as that capacity is placed into service. Gross Utility Power Capacity and Total Leasable Customer Power Capacity are used primarily for portfolio planning and to evaluate our available capacity for future customer contracting.

As of June 30, 2026, approximately 395 MW has commenced billing. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, certain CoreWeave license agreements were assigned to a special purpose vehicle financing structure while CoreWeave remained a primary obligor under the agreements. See “Strategic Transition to High-Density Colocation Services” below for a more detailed discussion of this arrangement and the associated risks. While our current colocation revenue remains concentrated with a single customer, we believe our available unleased power capacity provides a meaningful opportunity to diversify our customer base over time.

Current wording
The Colocation segment is characterized by the implementation of long-term contracts spanning 10 or more years with payment structures that provide terms and conditions resulting in stable, predictable revenue and cash flows over each contract period. As of June 30, 2026, we had contracted 590 MW of leased customer power capacity and were actively billing for 395 MW. The gap between leased and billable capacity represents our primary near-term revenue growth opportunity. The pace at which we convert leased capacity to billable capacity depends on a number of factors, including equipment lead times and availability, labor constraints, permitting and interconnection sequencing, supply chain and logistical challenges, and the pace of customer deployment under existing contracts. Changes in these inputs can affect when incremental capacity becomes billable and therefore may affect the timing of colocation revenue, cost of services and related cash flows.

During the period, CoreWeave entered into assignment and assumption agreements transferring certain license agreements to CW SPV, a special purpose vehicle that is an indirect subsidiary of CoreWeave. CoreWeave remains a primary obligor under those agreements. While we believe this structure supports the long-term stability of these arrangements, the assignment introduces an additional layer of counterparty structure, and our revenue and cash flows remain dependent on performance by entities within the CoreWeave corporate family. Our practical ability to enforce recourse against CoreWeave would depend on its financial condition at the time of any default.

Current wording
In our Digital Asset Self‑Mining and Digital Asset Hosted Mining segments, electricity is the primary operating cost and is not passed through to customers. In these segments, increases in power prices directly compress margins. The cost and availability of electricity are affected by changes in seasonal demand, with peak demand during summer months driving higher costs and increased curtailments to support grid operators. Severe weather events, geopolitical developments, and macroeconomic factors can also affect power costs and availability in ways outside our control. As our colocation business grows and our mining operations wind down, the proportion of our cost base subject to direct power price exposure will decrease.

Beyond cost, the availability of sufficient electrical power is one of the most important constraints on our colocation growth. The timing of utility approvals, interconnection studies, and power delivery agreements can affect when new capacity becomes available and therefore may affect the timing of our capital deployment and revenue ramp. We continue to be in active discussions with both our existing and future potential utility providers regarding additional power allocations across our portfolio, and we believe our ability to secure and maintain these agreements is a key factor affecting our long-term growth and competitive positioning.

Our self-mining results are also affected by competitive dynamics of the Bitcoin network, including the network hash rate and difficulty in solving blocks. Increases in network hash rate result in higher network difficulty over time, which reduces the amount of bitcoin earned for a given level of deployed hash rate and power consumption. These dynamics are entirely outside of our control.

Current wording
Our agreement with CoreWeave is funded almost entirely by the customer, and our financial contribution to those projects is capped at a fixed dollar amount, limiting our exposure to tariff-related cost increases on customer-funded capital expenditures. However, capital expenditures associated with developing new data center sites, including our Hunt County, Texas campus and the Muskogee, Oklahoma site we have agreed to acquire, are not subject to the same customer-funding structure as our existing CoreWeave conversion projects. To the extent these sites require significant equipment and material procurement funded directly by the Company, our exposure to tariff-related cost increases on those projects may be greater than on our existing customer-funded portfolio. Sustained or further increases in tariffs on key equipment and materials could affect construction costs, timelines, and operating economics at these sites, which could affect the timing and profitability of our colocation expansion.

To the extent we are able to place orders in advance of potential tariff increases, our exposure to future cost escalation on those items may be reduced.

Current wording
Our capital structure has changed materially during 2026. As of June 30, 2026, our consolidated indebtedness includes $460.0 million of 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Notes”), $625.0 million of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Convertible Notes”), and $3.30 billion of 7.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 issued by our indirect subsidiary Core Scientific Finance. The Senior Secured Notes require semi-annual interest payments on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2026, and semi-annual principal amortization at an initial annual rate of 11.50% of the original principal amount outstanding on the issue date until the notes are repaid, repurchased, redeemed or otherwise discharged, beginning on the First Installment Payment Date. The First Installment Payment Date is defined as the first semi-annual payment date occurring at least 15 days after both rent commencement under the related data center leases and the abatement of all revenue credits provided to the tenant. Revenue credits refer to fixed amounts credited against the tenant’s payment obligation during the initial ramp-up period under the license agreements. As a result, the timing of principal amortization is directly linked to our operational delivery milestones under our colocation arrangements.

Our construction capital requirements are also substantial. As of June 30, 2026, we were contractually committed to approximately $1.0 billion of future cash expenditures, of which approximately $264 million will be passed through to our customer as invoiced, with substantially all remaining expenditures expected to occur within the next 12 months. The interaction between our debt service obligations, construction capital commitments, customer prepayment inflows, and operating cash flows is a key factor affecting our liquidity and capital allocation decisions. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further discussion.

We operate in a dynamic regulatory environment. For a discussion of federal, state, and international regulatory developments affecting our digital asset mining and colocation activities, see “Government Regulation” in Part I, Item 1 “Business” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2026. We continue to evaluate whether regulatory developments present known trends or uncertainties that may materially impact our operations, energy costs, or customer demand.

Current wording
Regulatory developments affecting data centers, energy markets, AI infrastructure, and environmental matters could affect compliance costs, power availability and pricing, permitting timelines, and customer demand, each of which could impact our results of operations and liquidity. In particular, regulatory requirements governing data center construction, environmental impact, and utility interconnection could affect the timeline and cost of developing our new sites, and our ability to complete our contracted data center development projects on schedule. We continue to monitor these developments closely and incorporate regulatory considerations into our site selection, development planning, and capital allocation decisions.

Current wording
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. To supplement our consolidated financial statements, we provide investors with Adjusted EBITDA, a non‑GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our net loss, adjusted to eliminate the effect of (i) interest expense (income), net; (ii) provision for income taxes; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) loss on disposal and impairment of property, plant and equipment; (vi) loss on remeasurement of assets held for sale; (vii) loss on contract termination; (viii) colocation organizational startup costs primarily related to the initial ramp up of new colocation sits and the conversion of existing facilities to colocation data center operations; (ix) loss on debt extinguishment; (x) change in fair value of warrant and contingent value rights; (xi) loss on legal settlements; (xii) post-emergence bankruptcy advisory costs incurred related to reorganization and (xiii) certain additional non-cash items that do not reflect the performance of our ongoing business operations. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net loss.
Previous wording
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure because it allows management, investors, and our Board of Directors to
Current wording
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to management, investors, and our Board of Directors because it removes the effect of items that are either non-cash in nature, not reflective of our core operating performance, or subject to timing and variability that makes period-to-period comparisons less meaningful. This includes impairment charges on mining-related assets, which are non-cash and reflect changes in bitcoin market conditions rather than the operating performance of our colocation business. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management internally to make operating decisions, evaluate performance, and perform strategic and financial planning, including assessment of return on capital and operating efficiencies. In addition, we believe it provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our results of operations and making period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of interest, taxes, non-cash charges, and other items subject to timing variability.

Current wording
You should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, we may incur future expenses similar to those when calculating this measure. Our presentation of this measure should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual items. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because not all companies calculate this measure in the same fashion. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Current wording
Colocation revenue consists of fees charged to customers for licensed data center space, power and related services. Under our contract, the customer generally pays fixed monthly fees based on billable customer power capacity and variable usage‑based charges and other billable services. Power fees are passed through to our customer without markup and are recognized as revenue on a gross basis, with a corresponding charge to cost of colocation services. As a result, changes in power prices can cause fluctuations in colocation revenue that are not indicative of changes in our underlying colocation margins.

Current wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized non-cash impairment charges of $266.5 million on our mining-related property, plant and equipment. The charges resulted from sustained deterioration in bitcoin mining economics during the period, including declines in bitcoin prices, hashprice reaching historic lows, and significant decreases in secondary market values for mining equipment. Of the total charge, $151.6 million related to mining equipment whose carrying value exceeded current secondary market values, and $114.9 million related to mining infrastructure at facilities used in our self-mining operations, whose carrying values exceeded fair values determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. No impairment charges were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2026, or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

We finance our operating and capital requirements primarily through a combination of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, customer prepayments received under our colocation arrangements, proceeds from sales of digital assets (bitcoin), and external financing activities, including debt financing arrangements. Customer prepayments under our colocation arrangements are associated with, and expected to offset a significant portion of, the capital expenditures required to build out and convert facilities for those arrangements.
