Core Scientific Plans Sale of 2,500 Bitcoin to Fund AI Expansion

Multiple independent financial and industry news outlets report that Core Scientific intends to sell approximately 2,500 Bitcoin to fund its artificial intelligence or AI colocation expansion. The consistency across multiple secondary sources—including KuCoin News, PANewsLab, and AInvest—strengthens the claim’s credibility despite their moderate authority. The details regarding both timing (Q1 2026) and purpose (AI expansion) are repeated nearly verbatim, suggesting these outlets are referencing an official or leaked communication. The company’s official investor relations release corroborates the firm’s shift toward AI infrastructure growth and references Bitcoin asset management, though it does not explicitly confirm the specific sale figure or timing. This omission slightly lowers certainty but does not undercut the overall narrative that such a sale was announced or planned. Therefore, given the high consistency and relevance of reports from several semi-credible financial news sources, and the plausible alignment with the company’s strategic direction described in its verified statements, the claim is assessed as likely true with high confidence.
