Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) was once primarily known as a Bitcoin miner. However, in recent months, the narrative around the company has shifted to high-performance computing and AI infrastructure. Hedge funds are piling into the stock to capture the revenue from a massive partnership with CoreWeave. The agreement has expanded to roughly 590 MW of HPC capacity, which is projected to generate $8.7 billion to $10 billion in revenue over the next 12 years. For funds like, this contract acts as a synthetic bond, a guaranteed cash flow stream from a high-quality AI customer that covers the cost of building the infrastructure.
