The company shared its annual report, demonstrating a decrease in power consumption at its facilities. In December 2023, a total of 480 megawatts per hour and throughout 2023, a total of 131,000 megawatts per hour of energy savings were achieved.

Bitcoin mining consists of complex computational processes that add new blocks to the Bitcoin blockchain and verify blocks as part of the proof-of-work system. Various hardware and software are used to generate cryptographic hashes that match transaction hash criteria in mining. Miners verifying transactions earn BTC as a reward for each block mined, with the current reward per block being 6.25 BTC.

Core Scientific went through a challenging period as a Bitcoin mining company. In December 2022, amid the "crypto winter" when the BTC price plummeted to very low levels, the company filed for bankruptcy. However, in June 2023, it promised a strong comeback and submitted a bankruptcy plan under Chapter 11, allowing it to continue its operations until stakeholders agreed on a restructuring plan.

A year later, in December 2023, the mining giant announced that it had emerged from bankruptcy and would relist its shares. The company began trading again on Nasdaq on January 27th.
