币界网报道：CoreWeave, a leading AI cloud provider, has made a $1 billion bid to acquire Core Scientific, one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining firms, signaling a strategic pivot toward AI infrastructure. The all-cash offer, representing a 55% premium over Core Scientific's recent stock price, aims to repurpose the company's high-powered data centers for AI workloads. Core Scientific, which emerged from bankruptcy in January, currently operates 745 megawatts of data center capacity across North America. The deal highlights the growing convergence between crypto mining and AI, as both sectors compete for similar energy-intensive computing resources. CoreWeave, backed by Nvidia and recently valued at $19 billion, has rapidly expanded its AI cloud services, leasing over 2 gigawatts of power capacity. The acquisition would accelerate CoreWeave's infrastructure growth while providing Core Scientific shareholders with a substantial premium amid shifting industry dynamics.
