Strategic Shift to AI and HPC

The decline in revenue from Bitcoin mining – both self-mining and hosting – is directly linked to Core Scientific’s deliberate decision to allocate power resources towards AI and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The company reduced its self-mining operations by 20%, from 20.4 exahashes per second (EH/s) to 16.3 EH/s, and its hosting services by 27%, from 3 EH/s to 2.2 EH/s. Source

This transition is enabling Core Scientific to provide colocation services for companies like CoreWeave, leveraging its infrastructure for GPU-intensive AI workloads. HDC revenue increased substantially.

AI Revenue Growth

Despite the overall revenue decrease, Core Scientific experienced a near 50% increase in revenue from its AI business, reaching $15 million in Q3 2025, compared to $10.3 million in Q3 2024. Source This demonstrates the growing demand for its colocation services in the AI sector.

Upcoming Earnings Call

Core Scientific is scheduled to release its Q4 2025 earnings on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, with a conference call planned for Friday, February 27, 2026, at 9:30 AM ET. Source Investors will be closely watching for further updates on the company’s progress in the AI and HPC markets.
