CORZ: Colocation scaled to 485 MW billing, lifting revenue and Adjusted EBITDA sharply QoQ
Core Scientific reported that colocation revenue, income from hosting customers’ computing equipment, rose nearly 60% quarter over quarter to $215.4 million as billed capacity reached 485 megawatts. Adjusted EBITDA, a measure of operating earnings before certain costs, climbed to $133.6 million; net income was $1.2 billion, including a non-cash warrant valuation gain.

What happened
Core Scientific said third-quarter revenue nearly tripled from a year earlier as it hosted more customer computing equipment. Hosting revenue rose nearly 60% from the prior quarter to $215.4 million, and 485 megawatts were being billed. The company has $4.4 billion in build commitments.
Global impact / market context
More hosting revenue and customer agreements may support growth, but the company still needs to deliver capacity and fund construction. Revenue is concentrated in CoreWeave while AMD and other customer launches are awaited. Reported net income also included a non-cash gain from a warrant value change, so it does not show operating results alone.
What to watch
- Check whether billed capacity rises above 485 megawatts; that would show whether more customer capacity is generating bills.
- Check progress on AMD deliveries planned through the end of 2028; delays could slow the move from contracted capacity to customer use.
- Check how the company funds its $4.4 billion in build commitments and whether revenue remains concentrated in CoreWeave; both affect delivery and funding concerns.
