CORZ

Core Scientific, Inc./tx

A designer and operator of large-scale data centers, Core Scientific runs high-density facilities that host bitcoin mining rigs and, increasingly, the powerful computers behind artificial intelligence. Founded in 2017 in Seattle as Atlantic Crypto, the company renamed itself Core Scientific and grew into one of the largest publicly traded bitcoin miners in the U.S. It filed for bankruptcy in late 2022 and emerged in early 2024, then struck a major deal with cloud firm CoreWeave to convert much of its power capacity to AI computing.
