Core Scientific CEO Adam Sullivan Says Bitcoin Miner Can Grow 'Exponentially” Over the Next Few Years via Its AI Data Center Services

Bitcoin ( BTC) miner Core Scientific is looking to grow “exponentially” over the next few years via its AI data center services, the company’s CEO told analysts in an interview.

However, that depends on whether or not Core can demonstrate the ability to deliver gigawatt scale AI data centers beyond its initial client.

“Signing up another 500MW or 1GW of deals over the course of the next few years puts us in a position where we’re not a $2.5 billion company, we are potentially a $25 to $30 billion company,” CEO Adam Sullivan told Bernstein analysts.

Sullivan, a former investment banker, joined the company in April 2023, about four months into its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process following the collapse of bitcoin’s price in the 2022 bear market, which coincided with soaring energy prices.

After successfully exiting bankruptcy in January this year, Core signed a 12-year deal with AI Hyperscaler CoreWeave, potentially worth up to $3.5 billion in total revenue.

Core previously worked with CoreWeave on Ethereum GPU mining before it switched to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, rekindling conversations with the firm at the end of 2023 about the potential for conversions, Sullivan said.

So far, Core has signed three contracts with CoreWeave, adding 70MW and 112MW deals to its first agreement for 200MW. These contracts are for conversions of existing Core Bitcoin mining facilities to deliver CoreWeave GPU-ready data centers throughout 2025 and 2026. Sullivan said that some Bitcoin mining rigs at converted sites may be sold, but most will be redirected to other Core sites.

While the Core CEO claimed no other data center company is delivering that size, and they have also attracted top talent from the data center industry amid the CoreWeave deal, the niche the firm has carved out for itself is its shorter timelines.

「Digital Reality、Equinix、Switch、Cyrus One などの競合他社について言えば、インフラストラクチャを提供できるまでのスケジュールは 3 年から 5 年程度です。私たちはそのサブ3年のカテゴリーでプレーしているようなものです。つまり、それがまさに私たちが切り開いたニッチな分野であり、既存のインフラストラクチャとサイトでは、データセンターの世界にある他のピアセットよりも速いタイムラインで提供できるかどうかがすべてです」とサリバン氏は語った。 >

他のビットコインマイナーはまだ AI サービスで競合していません

サリバン氏によると、AI データセンターのようなハイパフォーマンス コンピューティング (HPC) サービスの機会が多様化しているにもかかわらず、コアはこれまでに競合したどの取引でも新たなビットコイン マイナーを見たことがありません。

サリバン氏は、少数のビットコインマイナーがHPC側で興味深い特定のサイトを持っており、主要なファイバー回線沿いに位置し、大都市圏に十分に適合できると述べた。ただし、彼らのチームには従来のデータセンターの経験が不足している可能性があるため、多様化を成功させるには追加の人材を吸収する必要もあります。

「この論文が真実であるかどうかについては、まだ多くの疑問があると思います。別の鉱山会社に実際に契約を締結してもらうことが重要です」とサリバン氏は述べた。 「私の最大の心配は、彼らが実行という点で成功していないことであり、それが私たちを傷つけている。しかし、別のビットコイン採掘会社が HPC 側で契約を結ぶことができることを非常に期待しています。」

コアの多角化計画はすでに本格化している。同社が現在契約している1.2GWのうち、わずか500MWはビットコインマイニング専用であり、その主な理由はそれらがHPCに変換できないためであるとサリバン氏は説明した。

「明らかに、HPC 側の収益と粗利益ははるかに高く、より多くの契約を結ぶことができれば、ビジネスの長期的な評価も向上します。したがって、ビジネスのビットコインマイニング側では、現金利益率に非常に重点を置いています」と彼は言いました。

「よほど良い機会があり、非常に経済的なことがない限り、リフレッシュに多額の資本を投入するつもりはありません。それが私たちがチップのブロック契約を結んだ理由です。現時点では、ビットコインのマイニング側で生み出された全収益の 20 ~ 25% が設備投資のリフレッシュまたは基本的な維持に充てられており、実際には何の成長もせずにネットワークの一部を維持するだけです。」

と彼は続けた。

長期的に競争力を維持するために、同社の目標は、靴箱マシン全体の交換からハッシュボードのみの交換に移行し、不必要なシャーシと PDU の交換を回避することで、このコストを削減することです。 「私たちの目標は、ビットコイン マイニング ビジネスを運営できる最高の資本利益率になることです」とサリバン氏は付け加えました。

バーンスタインのアナリスト、ガウタム・チュガニ氏は、ビットコインのマイニングは本質的にハッシュレートの競争であり、ハッシュレートの成長ペースに合わせて投資できなければ希薄化を招くという点を指摘した。それに応えて、サリバン
