1.1GW leased, $2.4 billion in potential revenue—it sounds huge, but Q2 colocation revenue was only $137 million. How many years will it take to realize that……

Debt carried over from the mining era into the AI era—the story has simply been repackaged, but the risk is still the same.

Self-mining revenue fell to 21.5 million, basically becoming a side hustle—is the full pivot to AI the right bet or a move made out of necessity?

With 954M in capital expenditures and 4.3B in long-term debt, this kind of asset-heavy expansion would be extremely painful if it runs into an AI capex contraction.

The “selling shovels” logic is back, but this time it’s about selling computing-power shovels to AI. The question is whether the market is willing to keep buying into this narrative.

AMD’s five sites total 530 MW and won’t be deployed until 2027. With such a large upfront investment, can its cash flow last until then? We’ll see.

It used to be bankruptcy amid Bitcoin mining crises; now it’s leverage in the AI arms race. Core Scientific has truly taken the gambler’s spirit to the extreme.
