CoreWeave籌集了15億美元的目標IPO

CoreWeave是位於新澤西州的AI HyperScaler，通過其首次公開募股（IPO）成功籌集了15億美元，儘管該金額降至其最初的目標。

Unusually, Nvidia (NVDA) is participating in a new issue. The well-known chip maker is investing $250 million in the IPO of CoreWeave (CORE), an AI hyperscaler based in New Jersey.

不尋常的是，NVIDIA（NVDA）正在參與一個新問題。這家著名的芯片製造商將在新澤西州的AI HyperScaler（CoreWeave）IPO上投資2.5億美元。

The company sold 37.5 million shares at $40 each, which is lower than its original plan to offer 49 million shares priced between $47 and $55. This plan could have potentially raised $2.69 billion.

該公司以每股40美元的價格出售了3,750萬股，低於其原始計劃，其價格在47至55美元之間。該計劃可能會籌集26.9億美元。

At one point, CoreWeave had higher aspirations for the IPO, aiming to raise $4 billion at a valuation of $35 billion. However, due to increased market volatility and an overall decline in the stock market, the company’s target was revised downward. According to Bloomberg, CoreWeave’s current valuation is said to be around $23 billion on a fully diluted basis.

有一次，CoreWeave對IPO的願望更高，旨在籌集40億美元的估值350億美元。但是，由於市場波動的增加和股票市場的總體下降，該公司的目標被修改了。據彭博社稱，Coreweave目前的估值在完全稀釋的基礎上約為230億美元。

Founded in 2017, CoreWeave initially specialized in crypto mining, particularly Ethereum mining. But after Ethereum switched from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake network in 2022, the company pivoted toward artificial intelligence (AI). It has become a core provider of infrastructure for AI workloads.

Coreweave成立於2017年，最初專門從事加密礦山開採，尤其是以太坊採礦。但是，在以太坊在2022年轉向工作證明網絡之後，該公司轉向人工智能（AI）。它已成為AI工作負載基礎架構的核心提供商。

In addition to the IPO, CoreWeave also has a 12-year partnership with bitcoin mining company CoreScientific (CORE). Through this deal, CoreWeave will use CoreScientific’s existing mining facilities for its AI operations.

除IPO外，CoreWeave還與比特幣礦業公司Corescientific（Core）建立了12年的合作夥伴關係。通過這筆交易，CoreWeave將使用Corescientific現有的採礦設施進行AI運營。

Finally, the company’s shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday under the ticker symbol “CRWV.”

最終，該公司的股票將於週五開始在納斯達克股票上進行交易。
