Description: CORZ Core Scientific, Common January 10, 2026
Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: CORZ) is a U.S.-based provider of digital-asset mining services, organized into three operating segments: Digital Asset Self-Mining, Digital Asset Hosted Mining, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) Hosting. The firm builds and manages its own data-center infrastructure, supplies mining hardware, and offers end-to-end services-including deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, optimization, and maintenance-for customers’ cryptocurrency mining equipment.
Key operational metrics from the latest public filings show that the company operated roughly 4.2 exahashes per second (EH/s) of Bitcoin mining capacity in 2023, generated approximately $150 million in revenue, and reported an adjusted EBITDA margin near 22 %. Core Scientific’s cost structure is heavily influenced by U.S. electricity rates (averaging $0.06 /kWh for its facilities) and the prevailing price of Bitcoin, which accounts for roughly 85 % of its earnings volatility.
Sector-wide, the U.S. mining industry is benefitting from favorable regulatory clarity and a growing emphasis on renewable-energy-sourced power, which could improve margin sustainability for firms like Core Scientific. For a deeper quantitative breakdown, the ValueRay platform offers a granular view of CORZ’s financial and operational metrics.
