A planned merger between Bitcoin mining firm Core Scientific and artificial intelligence and cloud data center CoreWeave has been called off after a stockholder vote held on Oct. 30.

According to the initial terms reported back in July, CoreWeave was slated to purchase Core Scientific in an all-stock deal for $20.40 per share at a total valuation of approximately $9 billion.

Stockholders Reject Merger Deal

According to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), CoreWeave did not receive the requisite number of votes needed to approve the merger during the special meeting held on Oct. 30.

Core Scientific CEO Michael Intrator was magnanimous over the deal’s defeat saying, in a press release, that CoreWeave respects the views of Core Scientific stockholders and looks forward to continuing the firms’ commercial partnership. “CoreWeave’s strategy remains unchanged,” he added.

Core Scientific shares rise

When the merger was originally announced in July, Core Scientific shares saw a dip of about 22% on the news while CoreWeave took a 4.5% downturn.

While Core Scientific stock was initially priced at $20.40 for the deal, it’s currently trading at $21.99 as of the time of this article’s publication on Oct. 30.

The deal’s cancellation represents a rare rebuke of business-as-usual in the cryptocurrency and digital assets sector throughout 2025 with numerous high-profile mergers and SPAC deals set to take place before the end of the year.

As Coinspeaker recently reported, European crypto giant CoinShares announced a $1.2 billion merger agreement with alternative investment management firm Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp with plans to list on US Nasdaq by December 2025.

Meanwhile, American Bitcoin Corporation, a firm backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, made its Nasdaq debut on Sept. 4 following a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.

First family moves on from Wall Street as Eric Trump backs crypto

First family moves on from Wall Street as Eric Trump backs crypto

Eric Trump says crypto could actually save the U.S. dollar. Not kill it. Not weaken it. On Tuesday, just hours after ringing the Nasdaq opening bell for American Bitcoin’s public debut, a company where he’s got over $500 million stashed, Eric told the Financial Times that crypto is “arguably” the reason the dollar might stay alive. “Mining bitcoin here, and being financially independent and running a kind of financial revolution out of the United States of America…I think it arguably saves the US dollar,” he said. The timing wasn’t random. Eric’s comments came while the dollar was getting dragged. This year, it’s been tanking… fast. The cause? President Donald Trump’s trade war and his endless public jabs at the Federal Reserve, which just slashed interest rates again. The Fed cut rates yesterday, for the first time this year, right after Donald’s latest round of pressure. It’s not helping. Investors are losing confidence in what’s supposed to be the safest currency on Earth. Eric says crypto is fun, family is done with Wall Street Eric isn’t just pushing crypto from the sidelines. His family has gone full throttle into the space. We’re talking a Truth Social Bitcoin ETF, a Bitcoin treasury tied to Trump Media, and two meme coins; $MELANIA and $TRUMP. Eric defended both coins, saying they were meant to be “fun,” and explained why people are buying in: “They want to bet on a coin, or they want to bet on a player. They want to bet on a celebrity, or they want to bet on a famous brand. Or they just love somebody to death, and they want to buy, you know, a kind of small piece of them, via digital currency.” And Eric doesn’t give Wall Street any credit. At all. He made it clear that everything they’ve built was done without the help of big-name banks. “It’s almost like the ultimate revenge against the big banks and modern finance,” he said. That jab came after the Trump Organization filed a lawsuit against Capital One, accusing the bank of closing their accounts in 2021 for political reasons — something the bank denies. But Eric wasn’t done. “You realise you just don’t need them. And frankly, you don’t miss them.” He added that he wasn’t just referring to Capital One, but “all” of Wall Street’s major lenders and their “top people.” Stablecoins, trillions, and the White House betting on crypto Stablecoins have traditional banks spooked. They think cash might flow out of the banking system if coins like Tether or Circle offer better returns. And that fear isn’t fake. It’s growing, especially after Congress passed the first major crypto law in July. Now the White House wants stablecoin issuers to buy up a fat slice of the Treasury’s debt. Why? Because these crypto firms make money on the interest from the bonds they hold. Last year, Eric co-founded World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI), a crypto company that runs a stablecoin called USD1, pegged to the U.S. dollar. That project has serious family backing. Donald held 15.75 billion WLFI tokens at the end of 2024, based on official filings. At Wednesday’s trading price, that holding was worth over $3 billion. When asked about the family’s financial gain from crypto, Eric downplayed it. “If my father cared about monetising his life, the last thing he would have done is run for president, where all we’ve done is un-monetise our life.” Your crypto news deserves attention - KEY Difference Wire puts you on 250+ top sites
