Core Scientific, a U.S.-based blockchain infrastructure and Bitcoin mining company providing high-performance computing and AI data center services, said it expects to sell more than 2,500 Bitcoin from its holdings in the first quarter of 2026.

The company plans to use the proceeds to increase liquidity and fund capital expenditures for its high-density AI compute colocation expansion, according to its annual report.

At the end of 2025, Core Scientific held 2,537 Bitcoin with a carrying fair value of about $222 million, based on an average price of $101,639 per Bitcoin. This was a significant rise from the 256 Bitcoin it held at the end of 2024. All of the 2025 holdings were mined by the company itself.

Riot Platforms sold 1,818 Bitcoin in December 2025, generating approximately $161.6 million at an average net price of $88,870 per coin. The company said the proceeds were used to cover operational costs and support its expansion into AI and high-performance computing. As of December 31, 2025, Riot held 18,005 Bitcoin in its reserves.
