CoreWeave resumes discussions to acquire Core Scientific
US-based AI cloud computing provider CoreWeave has resumed negotiations to acquire Core Scientific, Reuters reported, quoting a source familiar with the development.
The move comes after the bitcoin mining and hosting provider turned down CoreWeave's previous proposal in 2024, stating that the offer undervalued the company.
The resumption of talks was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which resulted in a 33% increase in Core Scientific's share price. A conclusion to the discussions could be reached in the coming weeks, although specific terms of the potential deal remain undisclosed.
However, Core Scientific did not respond to a request for comment from Reuters. CoreWeave also declined to respond to queries.
Core Scientific, valued at approximately $5bn as of 27 June 2025 market close, specialises in owning and operating advanced digital infrastructure for bitcoin mining and hosting services.
The company operates purpose-built facilities and provides digital asset mining infrastructure, software solutions, and services to third-party clients.
In 2024, CoreWeave made an unsolicited non-binding offer to acquire all of Core Scientific's outstanding shares for $1.02bn, or $5.75 per share in cash. Core Scientific declined the offer, stating it did not reflect the company's value or align with shareholder interests.
Despite the rejection, the two companies entered a series of 12-year agreements, including a contract for Core Scientific to supply approximately 200MW of infrastructure to support CoreWeave's high-performance computing services.
CoreWeave supplies enterprises and AI labs with cloud solutions for enhanced computing capabilities. Among its clients is Microsoft, which accounted for 62% of CoreWeave's revenue in 2024.
In March 2025, CoreWeave secured an $11.9bn agreement to provide AI infrastructure to OpenAI. The deal is intended to enhance OpenAI's compute capacity for training and deploying sophisticated AI models worldwide.

Smucker's Makes Final Decision on Controversial Ingredient
We're moving away from synthetic dyes in food. J.M Smucker Company announced that they will be removing FD&C colors from "all consumer food products by the end of calendar year 2027." The FD&C Act was enacted by the Food and Drug Administration in 1938 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It's designed to remove unnecessary color additives in food by implementing safety guidelines (such as understanding which types of foods synthetic colors can be used in, setting maximum amounts, and determining how it should be declared on the food label). Smucker's said that this ingredient change will impact its "sugar-free fruit spreads and ice cream toppings, as well as certain products from its Hostess brand portfolio." Twinkies and Snoballs snack cakes, for example, are made with Red 40. The company added that most of their consumer foods are already free of FD&C colors, including the majority of the products available in kindergarten-to-12th grade schools."Throughout our 128-year history, we have successfully evolved our portfolio and product offerings based on shifts in consumer preferences," CEO Mark Smucker said in the statement. "Our commitment to remove FD&C colors from our sugar-free fruit spreads, ice cream toppings, and sweet baked goods products represents the latest example of our desire to evolve and our ability to continue to innovate to deliver on the expectations of our consumers." RELATED: J.M. Smucker is joined by Nestlé USA and Kraft Heinz in the effort to remove artificial dyes from their United States products. Kraft Heinz put out a press release on June 17, stating that they will be abiding by the FD&C colors "effective immediately." The company has already been making steps towards this initiative after removing artificial colors, preservatives, and flavors from Kraft Mac & Cheese in 2016. In the same vein, Nestlé announced last week that they will remove synthetic colors in its food and beverage portfolio by Makes Final Decision on Controversial Ingredient first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 30, 2025

Philadelphia city workers strike after contract talks fail
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nearly 10,000 city workers in Philadelphia who collect trash, answer 911 calls, maintain city pools and perform other jobs went on strike Tuesday after contract negotiations broke down. District Council 33 President Greg Boulware said the city hadn't agreed to a high enough wage increase, WPVI-TV reported. Mayor Cherelle Parker said the city would suspend residential trash collection, close some city pools and shorten recreation center hours, but vowed to keep the city running. Police and firefighters are not on strike. Parker, a pro-labor Democrat, promised that Fourth of July celebrations in the nation's birthplace would go on as usual. 'Keep your holiday plans. Don't leave the city,' she said at a Monday afternoon news conference that followed hours of last-minute negotiations. City officials urged residents to be patient and not hang up should they need to call either 911 or the city's non-emergency helpline. They said they would open drop-off sites for residential trash. Parker said she had offered raises that amount to 13% over her four-year term and added a fifth step to the pay scale to align with other unionized workers. District Council 33 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is the largest of four unions representing city workers. 'We believe it's a fair offer and still fiscally responsible for the people of this city,' said Parker, who took office last year. Union leaders, in their initial contract proposal, asked for 8% annual raises each year of the three-year contract, along with cost-of-living hikes and bonuses of up to $5,000 for those who worked through the pandemic. The union also asked the city to pay the full cost of employee health care, or $1,700 per person per month. 'District Council 33's members contribute as much blood, sweat and tears as does anyone else,' they said in a demand letter. 'We all make the city work. Our contract must reflect that reality.' In November, the city transit system averted a strike when the parties agreed to a one-year contract with 5% raises.
