What to know:
- CoreWeave is significantly cutting back the size and valuation of its IPO, according to Semafor.
- The AI infrastructure firm, closely tied to bitcoin miner Core Scientific, made $1.9 billion in revenue last year.
- Market caution around AI spending and recent tech stock struggles may be contributing to the downsized debut.
CoreWeave is looking to downsize its initial public offering just one day before hitting the market, Semafor reported.
The AI infrastructure firm was previously expected to raise $3 billion at a $30 billion valuation, according to the story, but the size has been cut and the valuation lowered to just $23 billion.

A separate story from Bloomberg said CoreWeave is now looking to raise only $1.5 billion.
CoreWeave is in close partnership with bitcoin miner Core Scientific (CORZ), which was expected to profit from the IPO if the results are positive and sustain strong revenue growth over the next few years.
In early U.S. trading, CORZ is up fractionally, but down sharply over the past month and for 2025 as a whole. AI-related tokens NEAR, ICP, RENDER have added modestly to earlier losses.
CoreWeave saw $1.9 billion in revenue in 2024 amid surging demand for AI services. However, some believe that CoreWeave’s new $12 billion deal with AI giant OpenAI could have bigger implications for the company than its IPO plan.
CoreWeave’s pullpack comes as tech stocks have lagged other market sectors since the start of this year, partially as a result of on-and-off tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump and concerns about the spending of AI companies.
CoreWeave will debut on the Nasdaq on Friday, becoming the first AI company to hit the stock market. A representative from the company could not be reached for comment at time of publication.
