Overview
- Core Scientific disclosed Tuesday that it added 301 BTC in the second quarter, bringing its holdings to 848 BTC after selling roughly 1,900 BTC in January that cut the treasury to 547.
- The company reported materially stronger Q2 results with revenue rising to $164.2 million and gross profit increasing to $70 million, improving its cash position for the AI pivot.
- Core Scientific secured commercial and financing support for the transition, including a 2.5 gigawatt capacity agreement with AMD and a Morgan Stanley financing facility of up to $1 billion.
- The firm said the newly held coins came from its mining operations rather than open-market purchases, a departure from language in its 2025 10-K that said it would dispose of nearly all remaining Bitcoin in 2026.
- The change highlights execution questions for turning mining sites into high-density AI and high-performance computing halls because of different cooling and power needs, and investors should watch further BTC accumulation and contract rollouts as signs of progress.
