CoreWeave (CRWV) Raises Another $1.5 Billion, Sends Shares Soaring

July 21 - CoreWeave CRWV shares surged more than 7% on Monday morning after the Nvidia?backed NVDA cloud provider said it will sell $1.5 billion of bonds due 2031 to help pare down debt.

The debt notes will fund =general corporate needs, including outstanding borrowings. In May, CoreWeave unveiled a $2 billion debt offering that was oversubscribed five times, sending the stock up 19%.

Since its Nasdaq debut in March, CoreWeave stock has more than tripled, driven by growing demand for AI?optimized data centers. Last week, the company announced a $6 billion AI data center project in Pennsylvania.

Founder and CEO Michael Intrator said the new financing underscores investor confidence in the firm's expansion, even as some market watchers question its rising leverage. He noted that capital markets have strongly backed CoreWeave's strategy to scale capacity.

CoreWeave's largest clients include Nvidia and Microsoft, and the firm continues to see robust order flow from hyperscale AI workloads. The company's IPO prospectus described its May debt raise as one of the largest private financings in history, reflecting deep investor appetite for next?generation AI infrastructure.
