CoreWeave筹集了15亿美元的目标IPO

CoreWeave是位于新泽西州的AI HyperScaler，通过其首次公开募股（IPO）成功筹集了15亿美元，尽管该金额降至其最初的目标。

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.

不寻常的是，NVIDIA（NVDA）正在参与一个新问题。这家著名的芯片制造商将在新泽西州的AI HyperScaler（CoreWeave）IPO上投资2.5亿美元。

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.

该公司以每股40美元的价格出售了3,750万股，低于其原始计划，其价格在47至55美元之间。该计划可能会筹集26.9亿美元。

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对IPO的愿望更高，旨在筹集40亿美元的估值350亿美元。但是，由于市场波动的增加和股票市场的总体下降，该公司的目标被修改了。据彭博社称，Coreweave目前的估值在完全稀释的基础上约为230亿美元。

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成立于2017年，最初专门从事加密矿山开采，尤其是以太坊采矿。但是，在以太坊在2022年从工作证明转向了综合验证网络之后，该公司转向人工智能（AI）。它已成为AI工作负载基础架构的核心提供商。

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还与比特币矿业公司Corescientific（Core）建立了12年的合作伙伴关系。通过这笔交易，CoreWeave将使用Corescientific现有的采矿设施进行AI运营。

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

最终，该公司的股票将于周五开始在纳斯达克股票上进行交易。
