Who We Are

​Bold. Unapologetic. Hardworking. We are building something special.  We transform energy into high-value compute with superior efficiency at scale.  Today, that means powering and securing the Bitcoin Network.  Tomorrow, that could also include powering workloads in AI, HPC and other forms of high-value compute.

Core Scientific is one of the largest bitcoin miners and bitcoin mining hosts in North America.  Our mission is to accelerate digital innovation by scaling high-value compute rapidly, efficiently and responsibly.  Our proprietary software stack optimizes bitcoin mining, pushes firmware, and monitors all aspects of our operations, ensuring we and our customers generate the highest possible ROI on our hardware investment.

But what makes us different from others in our industry?  We own and manage our own infrastructure.  That puts us in control of our operations and gives us an advantage that translates into higher productivity and efficiency.  It also gives us the ability to deploy rapidly the innovations developed by our deep tech team.

Come join us as we continue our journey and accelerate yours.  We seek smart, creative, collaborative minds, who work hard and fast.
