Miner is shifting focus from Bitcoin mining to AI infrastructure development, with mining operations in runoff
Company reported Q4 revenue of $79.8 million, missing estimates, and a wider than expected loss per share.
Deep Dive
Core Scientific, a major Bitcoin miner, has sold approximately 1,900 BTC for $175 million, averaging around $92,100 per coin, as part of its 2026 strategy to fund an expansion into AI data centers. This move significantly reduces its Bitcoin holdings to about 630 BTC, marking a reversal from its 2025 accumulation strategy where it increased reserves tenfold.
The company's Bitcoin mining operations are now described as "essentially in runoff," with a focus shifting towards scaling AI projects. This strategic pivot involves reallocating power, capital, and land towards AI-focused colocation operations. The sales are opportunistic and directly tied to funding the AI data center expansion, with management emphasizing that rebuilding a large Bitcoin treasury is not the current goal.
Core Scientific is developing a 1.5 gigawatt pipeline of leasable AI capacity, with management citing over $10 billion in contracted revenue for these initiatives. The company reported fourth-quarter revenue of $79.8 million, missing consensus estimates, and a loss of $0.42 per share. While colocation revenue improved, it could not fully offset weaker mining economics. Executives noted up to $4 billion in potential financing linked to a 590-megawatt contract with CoreWeave, with Bitcoin sales strengthening this capital base.
The Bitcoin mining sector faces intense pressure, with many operators facing production costs higher than Bitcoin's current price of around $70,000. This has led to diversification and reduced holdings becoming a norm, with companies like Riot Platforms also selling significant amounts of Bitcoin in 2025 to finance data center projects. Core Scientific's actions align with this industry trend of transitioning towards high-performance computing and AI workloads. The company stated it will remain opportunistic with its remaining BTC holdings, and markets will monitor the reduction of its balance and the expansion of its AI capacity.
