CoreWeave is reportedly on the verge of filing for an initial public offering (IPO) that could value the AI cloud provider at more than $35 billion, according to Data Center Dynamics. The company aims to raise over $4 billion through this public offering.

Founded in 2017 as a cryptocurrency mining firm, CoreWeave pivoted to AI infrastructure and has since become a significant player in the industry. The company has been expanding its data center operations, with plans to operate 38 data centers globally by the end of 2025. Recently, CoreWeave announced a $1.2 billion investment to lease additional data center space from Core Scientific in Denton, Texas.

The IPO comes as CoreWeave continues to secure substantial investments. In the past 18 months, the company has raised $12.7 billion through debt and equity financing, with major contributions from investors like Magnetar, Blackstone, and Goldman Sachs. CoreWeave's strategic partnerships and investments have positioned it as a key player in the AI cloud market, competing with giants like Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.
