Colocation revenue surges as strategic pivot from bitcoin mining accelerates

Colocation revenue grew to $136.7M in Q2 FY2026 from $10.6M a year ago (up ~1,195%), now representing 83% of total revenue vs 13% in the prior-year quarter, driven by incremental billable customer power capacity delivered under the CoreWeave agreement. Billable customer power capacity reached 395 MW as of June 30, 2026, up from 120 MW at December 31, 2025, against 590 MW of contracted leased capacity.

Single-customer concentration risk with CoreWeave remains high

Colocation revenue is currently derived entirely from CoreWeave, which represented approximately 77% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026. During the period, certain CoreWeave license agreements were assigned to a special-purpose vehicle (CW SPV), though CoreWeave remains a primary obligor, adding a layer of counterparty structure to the arrangement.

Net loss driven primarily by non-cash warrant fair value changes and mining impairment

Net loss of $1.2 billion for Q2 FY2026 was primarily driven by a $1.05 billion change in fair value of warrants and contingent value rights (vs $910.0M in the prior-year quarter). Six-month net loss of $1.5 billion was also impacted by a $266.5 million impairment charge on mining-related property, plant and equipment recognized in Q1 2026 due to deteriorating mining economics.

Expansion momentum continues with AMD partnership and land acquisitions

On July 28, 2026, the company announced a strategic relationship with AMD anchored by a 15-year agreement for approximately 530 MW across five sites, with potential to support up to 2.5 GW of leasable capacity. The company also closed a $233 million Hunt County, Texas land acquisition (~430 MW gross capacity) and announced a pending $421 million acquisition of Polaris DS LLC in Muskogee, Oklahoma (up to 440 MW), expected to close Q3 2026.

HPC colocation revenue is currently derived from a single customer (CoreWeave), representing approximately 77% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The company competes for new customers against major data center REITs, hyperscalers, and purpose-built developers with greater resources, and failure to diversify leaves growth constrained and revenue highly exposed if CoreWeave reduces, delays, or terminates its commitments.

As of June 30, 2026, the company had approximately $4.4 billion aggregate principal amount of indebtedness, including the newly issued $3.3B Senior Secured Notes, $460.0M Convertible Notes due 2029, and $625.0M Convertible Notes due 2031. This debt load could limit cash flow available for operations, increase vulnerability to adverse economic conditions, and impair the company's ability to satisfy its debt obligations if operating cash flow proves insufficient.

Provisions in the indentures governing the Convertible Notes and Secured Notes could make third-party acquisition attempts more difficult or expensive, including fundamental change repurchase rights for noteholders and change-of-control repurchase requirements for Core Scientific Finance. These provisions could discourage a third party from acquiring the company or removing incumbent management even in transactions some stockholders might view favorably.

Stockholders' equity stood at -$2.42B as of the reporting period, reflecting the deep GAAP net losses driven substantially by non-cash warrant fair value changes. While management emphasizes Adjusted EBITDA of $41.1M for the quarter, this non-GAAP measure excludes large recurring items like warrant fair value changes and stock-based compensation that materially affect reported results.
