Analysis · CORZ · Crypto Assets
Core Scientific entered into $600 million of committed senior secured credit facilities — a $100 million revolving credit facility and a $500 million letter of credit facility — with JPMorgan as administrative agent and Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and TD Securities as joint bookrunners. The facilities are expected to release approximately $300 million of restricted cash, directly improving capital efficiency and financial flexibility as the company scales its AI/HPC colocation buildout. The deal carries a first-priority lien on substantially all assets and includes a liquidity covenant requiring at least $150 million of liquidity and a $3 billion minimum market capitalization condition for borrowings. This is a meaningful balance-sheet event that strengthens near-term liquidity without issuing equity.
