According to CoinDesk, Core Scientific (CORZ) is poised to become a significant player in artificial intelligence (AI) hosting, as highlighted in a recent report by broker Canaccord. The report initiated coverage of the bitcoin miner with a buy rating and set a price target of $16. Early trading saw the shares rise by 1.4% to $12.15.
A pivotal 12-year contract signed with hyperscaler CoreWeave in June is seen as a transformative deal for Core Scientific. Canaccord described it as the first major agreement by a bitcoin miner to offer high-performance compute (HPC) data center hosting capacity. Hyperscalers are large-scale data centers that provide substantial computing power.
Canaccord analysts, led by Joseph Vafi, identified three key drivers for the stock: increasing revenue from AI hosting, improved cash flow, and the potential for additional site acquisitions. The price target includes approximately $12 attributed to the CoreWeave contract, $3 for the company's remaining power supply designated for AI hosting, and around $1 for the bitcoin-mining business.
The report also noted that Core Scientific has potential upside from its mining operations. Despite repurposing nearly 500 megawatts (MW) for AI hosting, the company still retains about 230MW of power for bitcoin mining.#CoreScientific #AIhosting #bitcoinminer #HPC #CoreWeave #stockmarket #Canaccord #investment #hyperscalers #cashflow

🚀 Core Scientific's Q4 Revenue Falls Short Amid Rising Costs and Network Challenges
#CoreScientific #Q4Revenue #BitcoinHalving #MiningRewards #EnergyCosts #Hashrate #HighPerformanceComputing #AIHosting #BTC
Core Scientific reported a decline in its fourth-quarter revenue to $79.8 million, falling short of market expectations of $122.08 million and down from $94.93 million in the same period last year. According to NS3.AI, the revenue decrease is attributed to reduced mining rewards following the Bitcoin halving, an increase in the Bitcoin network hashrate, and escalating energy expenses. In response to these challenges, the company is diversifying its operations by expanding into high-performance computing and AI hosting services.#CoreScientific #Q4Revenue #BitcoinHalving #MiningRewards #EnergyCosts #Hashrate #HighPerformanceComputing #AIHosting #BTC
🚀 AI Computing Demand Surges Amid Bitcoin Mining Challenges
#AICOMPUTING #BitcoinMining #AI #ElectricityDemand #Bitcoin #HPC #MiningInfrastructure #EnergyCosts #AIHosting #Blockchain #TechIndustry #BTC
AI computing power is emerging as a significant source of new electricity demand in the United States, coinciding with a pivotal moment for Bitcoin miners. According to BlockBeats, miners are now faced with the decision to either continue mining or lease their infrastructure to AI companies.
This trend is becoming increasingly evident. Core Scientific has shifted much of its mining power to AI hosting services through a partnership with CoreWeave. Similarly, Iris Energy and Hut 8 have expanded their AI and high-performance computing (HPC) revenue streams. Last week, Riot Platforms, MARA Holdings, and Genius Group disclosed the sale of over 19,000 Bitcoins, indicating that relying solely on mining is becoming less viable due to current prices and network difficulties. A Bitcoin miner operating at 1 gigawatt capacity sees income fluctuate with Bitcoin prices and network challenges, whereas leasing the same capacity to AI firms offers contractually agreed returns and predictable cash flow.
With Bitcoin prices at $69,000, network difficulty at an all-time high, and energy costs rising as industrial users compete for grid capacity, leasing computing power to AI companies often yields higher returns. However, this does not signal the end of Bitcoin mining. Network power continues to exceed 1 zetahash per second. Miners surviving this cycle may increasingly resemble infrastructure companies, mining Bitcoin while leasing their primary asset—large-scale, low-cost electricity—to the AI sector, which cannot rapidly build data centers.#AICOMPUTING #BitcoinMining #AI #ElectricityDemand #Bitcoin #HPC #MiningInfrastructure #EnergyCosts #AIHosting #Blockchain #TechIndustry #BTC
