- The company’s development roadmap includes 1.5 gigawatts of capacity; a 265-acre Texas site in Hunt County has been acquired
- The company missed its self-imposed timeline for securing additional customers and announced an accounting adjustment involving a material weakness in control systems

Core Scientific (CORZ) continues accelerating its transformation from cryptocurrency mining operations to artificial intelligence infrastructure provider — while navigating customer acquisition timing challenges and an accounting correction.
The company’s latest report shows approximately 350 megawatts energized, compared to 213MW at the close of the previous year. This represents approximately 64% growth. Management confirmed that around 200 of these megawatts currently generate billing revenue, with plans to emphasize billable capacity metrics in upcoming communications to provide clearer insight into commercial momentum.
The CoreWeave partnership remains the centerpiece of the company’s growth narrative. This 590MW agreement encompasses five operational AI infrastructure locations featuring roughly $2 billion in deployed equipment and exceeding five million recorded labor hours. The Denton facility alone now operates approximately 130 billable megawatts, nearly doubling its Q4 output.
Facilities including Marble, Muskogee Phase 1, and Dalton Phase 1 have reached full energization or commissioning stages. Each location progresses toward revenue-generating status.
The forward-looking development slate totals approximately 1.5 gigawatts — calculated exclusively from initiatives with secured power agreements or established pathways to procurement. This marks roughly 600MW expansion from the prior reporting period.
Facility Expansion and Infrastructure Strategy
Core Scientific finalized an agreement for 265 acres in Hunt County, Texas, projected to deliver around 285 megawatts of leasable infrastructure following interconnection completion. The Dalton, Georgia operation is scaling to 450 megawatts gross capacity, while the Pecos, Texas location undergoes conversion from cryptocurrency operations to 200MW of colocation infrastructure within approximately twelve months.
Management detailed its “Operation Forward Observer” framework — prioritizing first data hall commissioning and early procurement of long-lead equipment to compress revenue timeline. The 30MW Auburn, Alabama site already houses critical hardware components, targeting initial 10MW activation during the second half of 2026.
Available liquidity stands at approximately $530 million following the January liquidation of roughly 1,900 Bitcoin generating about $175 million. Leadership indicated potential access to $4 billion in financing against stabilized CoreWeave-supported infrastructure if required.
Customer Timeline and Financial Controls
Despite ongoing negotiations, the company failed to execute agreements with new customers within its publicly announced timeframe. Two facilities operate under short-term exclusivity arrangements, creating a performance gap investors will monitor carefully. CORZ currently derives the majority of revenue from Bitcoin mining operations during the AI infrastructure ramp-up phase.
The company disclosed an accounting correction related to demolition expenses incorrectly recorded as capital investments rather than operational costs. Management emphasized this adjustment affects neither revenue, adjusted EBITDA, nor net cash generation — though CORZ will report a material weakness in internal control frameworks for the coming four quarters.
Leadership attributed delayed hyperscaler discussions partially to the company’s merger activities. Neocloud providers and AI research facilities increasingly require investment-grade performance guarantees from established partners, extending negotiation cycles.
Regarding insider activity, Director Eric Weiss purchased 7,000 CORZ shares on March 9, 2026 at $14.53 per share. His total position now stands at 252,262 shares. The company’s price-to-earnings ratio of 13.21 falls below the industry median of 21.65 and its own historical median valuation.
