币界网报道:Core Scientific shares surged over 20% after reports emerged that AI cloud provider CoreWeave is in advanced talks to acquire the Bitcoin mining firm. The potential deal, which could value Core Scientific at around $1 billion, comes as CoreWeave seeks to expand its infrastructure for AI and high-performance computing workloads. Core Scientific, which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2024, operates data centers that could be repurposed for CoreWeave's AI operations. The acquisition talks highlight growing convergence between Bitcoin mining infrastructure and AI computing needs, as both require massive energy and cooling systems. Core Scientific's stock (CORZ) jumped to $1.05 following the news, though still below its 2021 peak of over $15. The deal would mark another major move by CoreWeave, which recently raised $1.1 billion in funding and was valued at $19 billion.
