Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) stock has historically faced volatility due to Bitcoin roots. However, unlike institutional investors who focus on the crypto aspect, social media experts are increasingly viewing the company as one of the most undervalued winners of the AI data center super-cycle. These experts have pointed to the transition of the business from pure Bitcoin mining to High-Performance Computing (HPC) hosting. In the Q4 2025 results, while self-mining revenue fell, colocation revenue surged 268% to $31.3 million. Some influencers have projected that by the end of 2026, HPC will account for 71% of total revenue. There is also social media buzz that the firm has secured massive, multi-billion dollar hosting contracts with AI cloud provider CoreWeave.

This partnership is important because it also allows Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) capex efficiency. Earlier this year, the company revealed that roughly $226 million of capital expenditures were funded by its tenant CoreWeave. This allows Core to build out state-of-the-art AI data centers without the dilutive equity raises that have plagued other miners. Besides these catalysts, TikTokers are also focusing on the power factor. Earlier this month, the company announced plans to expand its Pecos, Texas campus to 1.5 Gigawatts of gross power. High-voltage power permits and grid connections currently have 5-to-7-year lead times. Even institutional investors believe the replacement cost of CORZ’s infrastructure is significantly higher than its current market valuation.
