Cloud computing provider CoreWeave has beefed up its deal with Bitcoin miner Core Scientific by exercising an option to receive additional infrastructure for its NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) on top of capacity agreed to earlier in June. The decision adds another $1.225 billion to the income Core Scientific expected to receive under earlier agreements.&nbsp;
Under the option, Core Scientific will modify its facilities in Austin, Texas to begin providing 70 MW of infrastructure for CoreWeave in the second half of 2025. Core Scientific is a month ahead of schedule in its preparations to host CoreWeave capacity.

CoreWeave will fund the necessary capital investments. Another 70 MW of infrastructure will be created in addition to the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/core-scientific-coreweave-3-5b-ai-contract">200 MW foreseen in early June</a>. That agreement was worth $3.5 billion over its 12-year term.

Core Scientific chief executive officer Adam Sullivan said in a statement:
<blockquote>
 “Many data centers built in the last 20 years are not suitable to support future computing requirements. Core Scientific is well positioned to design for the future and build application-specific data centers (ASDCs).”&nbsp;
</blockquote>
“We intend to continue to transform and expand our hosting business and our earnings power,” he continued.&nbsp;The company will continue to enhance its crypto mining capacity at the same time.

Core Scientific is not alone in looking to artificial intelligence for additional revenue flow after the latest Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) halving. Also on June 25, Canadian miner Hive Digital Technologies released its fourth-quarter results for the financial year ending on March 31. It showed an 8% increase in revenue year-on-year for a total of $114.5 million. 
“The Company has continued its efforts to expand its facilities to offer HPC services to companies in the gaming, artificial intelligence and graphics rendering industries,” Hive <a href="https://www.hivedigitaltechnologies.com/medias/uploads/2024-03-31_HIVE_MDA_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">said</a> in the accompanying commentary. Hive is “firmly part of the global boom in data center infrastructure,” it <a href="https://hivedigitaltechnologies.com/news/hive-achieves-annual-revenue-of-1145-million-adjusted-ebitda1-of-375-million-with-2287-bitcoin-on-the-balance-sheet-and-mined-3123-bitcoin-for-the-year-ended-march-31-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">added</a>.
