Core Scientific became one of the largest crypto miners in the United States, producing 13,700 BTC on its own and 5,500 BTC through joint miners in 2023. However, the prolonged bear market, rising energy prices, increased mining difficulty, and the accumulation of debt to the struggling crypto firm Celsius led to Core Scientific filing for bankruptcy in December 2022. The company was trading under the symbol "CORZ" on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, but it was delisted after the bankruptcy proceedings began.
Core Scientific emphasized that the significant increase in Bitcoin and hash prices since filing for bankruptcy in December 2022 made the restructuring plan possible.
