In other news, CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV) is planning to raise $5.25 billion in fresh funds from two debt market offerings, of which $3.5 billion would come from convertible senior notes due 2032, while another $1.75 billion would be raised from the offer of 9.75 percent senior notes due 2031.

The convertible series will yield a 1.75-percent interest payable twice a year—on every 1st day of April and October of each year until the maturity date—with the first payment expected in October this year.

Before the notes mature, noteholders will have the option to convert their holdings into shares at an initial conversion rate of 8.3612 Class A shares for every $1,000 notes held, or equivalent to $119.60 per share—a 17 percent premium over its closing price of $102 on Friday.

Both offers are set to close on Tuesday, April 14. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and the repayment of outstanding debt, among others.
