Management has made it clear that Bitcoin mining is no longer a long-term focus. CEO Adam Sullivan said the mining division is “essentially in a state of flux”, with operations maintained primarily to meet minimal power consumption requirements, while legacy sites are being converted into colocation facilities to support AI and high-performance computing workloads.
Core Scientific ended the year with approximately $530 million in liquidity, highlighting the potential for up to $4 billion in financing related to the 590 MW CoreWeave contract upon stabilization and highlighting: $BTC Proceeds are being used to fund AI infrastructure expansion rather than rebuilding mining capacity.
Core Scientific missed expectations in the fourth quarter, reporting revenue of $79.8 million versus consensus of $122.08 million and a loss of $0.42 versus the consensus estimate of a loss of $0.08.
The changes reflect a broader industry pivot away from pure Bitcoin mining toward AI and data center infrastructure, with MARA Holdings (MARA) signing a deal with investment firm Starwood, Riot Platforms (RIOT) selling nearly $200 million in Bitcoin in the last two months of 2025, and both Cipher Digital (CIFR) and BitFarms (BITF) rebranding to emphasize their exposure to AI and HPC.
