Bitcoin Miner Core Scientific Turns Down CoreWeave’s $1B Offer
Bitcoin mining firm Core Scientific has reportedly turned down a $1bn acquisition proposal from AI firm CoreWeave, which is backed by substantial venture capital.
This move was made shortly after the two companies signed a new partnership agreement that was expected to generate a lot of revenue.
Core Scientific Rejects $1B Acquisition Offer
Core Scientific, a cryptocurrency mining company, rejected an unsolicited acquisition offer from CoreWeave, an artificial intelligence firm. The offer, valued at $5.75 per share, was made public earlier this week but needed to be deemed insufficient by Core Scientific’s board.
Subsequently, the firm recently issued a statement claiming that the proposal “substantially undervalues the company and is not in the best interest of the company and its shareholders.”
