CRWV update: CoreWeave $9 billion data deal to buy Core Scientific sends both stocks tumbling
The news sent share of both companies tumbling in early trading on Monday, with CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) slightly recovering by midday, down almost 3%, while Core Scientific (NASDAQ:CORZ) remained in the red, down a staggering 16%. However, Core Scientific stock is still up about 25% since the deal was first reported by the Wall Street Journal last month, as noted by Investopedia.
The deal, which is expected to close by the fourth quarter of 2025—subject to both regulatory approval, and approval from Core Scientific's stockholders—will enable CoreWeave to bring Core Scientific's nationwide data center infrastructure in-house, so it can support large-scale artificial intelligence development as it races to compete in the AI boom.
'This acquisition accelerates our strategy to deploy AI and HPC workloads at scale,' CoreWeave's CEO and co-founder Michael Intrator said in a statement. 'Verticalizing the ownership of Core Scientific's high-performance data center infrastructure enables CoreWeave to significantly enhance operating efficiency and de-risk our future expansion, solidifying our growth trajectory. Owning this foundational layer of our platform will enhance our performance and expertise as we continue helping customers unleash AI's full potential.'
Both companies have a history of working together, and the deal follows a previous merger bid last year, which Core Scientific rejected on the grounds it was too low, per the Journal.
The deal is forecast to save CoreWeave some $10 billion in future leasing contract costs from Core Scientific, according to Yahoo Finance.
CoreWeave and Core Scientific by the numbers
CoreWeave went public this past March in a highly anticipated initial public offering, which CNBC called the biggest venture-backed IPO for a U.S. company since 2021, following a long lapse of tech IPOs. In its March prospectus filing, the company, whose largest customer is Microsoft, reported a net loss of $863 million, with revenue growth of 737% last year to $1.92 billion. It has a market capitalization of $76.73 billion.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures slide as tariff concerns mount ahead of key inflation data
US stock futures pulled back on Monday as Wall Street braced for a turbulent week, with renewed trade tensions and a wave of second-quarter earnings set to test investor sentiment. Futures tied to the S&P 500 (ES=F) and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) dropped 0.5%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) also fell around 0.5%, or over 200 points, setting stocks up to add to Friday's losses. The moves follow President Donald Trump's announcement on Saturday that the US will impose 30% tariffs on goods from the European Union and Mexico starting August 1. The new duties raise the stakes for global trade relations and add to existing inflationary pressures. Officials from the EU and Mexico have signaled a willingness to continue negotiations in hopes of securing a reduced rate. Sunday night's declines come on the heels of a losing week for stocks, even as indexes remain near record highs. All three major US indexes ended three-week winning streaks on Friday. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs The timing adds to market uncertainty, with June CPI inflation data scheduled for release this week. Investors are looking for signs of how earlier rounds of tariffs are impacting prices across the US economy, with eyes watching the Federal Reserve as a decision on rate cuts is expected in just over two weeks. Tensions between the White House and the Fed continue to bubble, adding a layer of uncertainty onto the economic landscape. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said Sunday to ABC News that President Trump could remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell "if there's cause." Meanwhile, earnings season kicks into swing this week, with all the major US banks due to report results starting on Tuesday. Investors are showing interest in IPO and M&A markets, while Wells Fargo (WFC) reports after being freed from decade of stringent regulatory restrictions. Results from Netflix (NFLX) on Thursday will kick off earnings from big US tech names, with ASML (ASML) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) set to offer key updates on the AI-related chip boom. PepsiCo (PEP), United Airlines (UAL), and American Express (AXP) are among the other notable companies due to release their quarterly results. Bloomberg reports: Read more here.

The CV90 is a great vehicle, so why doesn't the US buy it?
The U.S. military has a long history of developing vehicles it never actually fields. The Army's Future Combat Systems died on the vine. The Ground Combat Vehicle was canceled before production. The Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle program has been stopped and started more times than most troops will change duty stations in a career. And of course, the M10 Booker, the not-light-tank the Army had to have, was killed off after about 80 were delivered. It is no wonder that whenever we cover the topic of U.S. vehicles on our YouTube channel, the comments are flooded with the same question: 'Why doesn't the U.S. just buy the CV90?' That is a valid query. The CV90 is a proven infantry fighting vehicle used by several NATO allies. It is modular, combat-tested and recently underwent a significant upgrade. So why can't the Pentagon stop with the seemingly endless programs that never actually produce a viable vehicle and just buy the Swedish CV90? The answer has little to do with whether the vehicle is any good and a lot to do with how the U.S. buys weapons, what it prioritizes in doctrine, and how the military-industrial complex operates. The CV90 was developed in the 1980s by Sweden's Hägglunds, now part of BAE Systems. It was designed with fighting the Soviet Union in mind to be fast, survivable and capable in a variety of terrains. Since entering service in 1994, it's become one of the most widely adopted infantry fighting vehicles in NATO. It comes in multiple variants, ranging from the traditional infantry fighting vehicle with an autocannon on it to command and control, mortar carrier, reconnaissance models, and many more, depending on the customer's requirements. The CV90 even comes with a variety of main weapons, starting at 30mm and going all the way up to 120mm. On paper, it checks a lot of boxes on the Pentagon's wishlist for an armored vehicle. So why not just buy it and move on? The most unsexy answer: money and politics. The Pentagon doesn't just buy vehicles, it buys programs. Those multi-billion dollar contracts aren't just for tanks or jets, they are for replacement parts, depot maintenance, technical manuals, training curriculum, simulators, everything necessary to keep a weapon functioning. This translates into jobs and decades of sustainment work. Buying the CV90 off the shelf would mean outsourcing production and all those program benefits to Europe. The U.S. could license the design to be built here in the United States, like we do with the UH-72 Lakota helicopters, but that would require significant investment into a weapon we don't have control over. Doctrine must also be considered. When the Pentagon buys a new weapon, it usually builds the vehicle around current doctrine, not the other way around. For instance, U.S. armored formations are built around combined arms maneuver. Bradleys are designed to fight alongside Abrams tanks, supported by artillery, drones and airpower, all feeding into a massive command-and-control network. That network assumes certain levels of system cooperation, speed, and firepower that aren't always a perfect match with off-the-shelf foreign vehicles, no matter how good they are. This brings us to the issue of interoperability with U.S. systems. The CV90 is built around NATO standards, but the U.S. military often takes that a step further with its own encrypted communications suites, battlefield management systems, Blue Force Tracker integration, electronic warfare and signals intelligence kits, and remote weapon stations that are all custom-fitted to American platforms. Retrofitting those systems into a CV90 isn't impossible — it's just time-consuming, expensive, and requires creating a new U.S.-only variant. At that point, you might as well be developing a new vehicle from scratch. Finally, we can't forget that the Bradley does exist and its capabilities overlap heavily with the CV90. Military planners aren't going to buy a foreign system that is very similar to the domestic one they already have hundreds of. In the latest YouTube video, we go over these reasons and many more that apply not just to the CV90, but other foreign weapon platforms that we admire, but will never purchase.
