Crypto Miner Core Scientific Downsizing After $840M Impairment Charge

Crypto Miner Core Scientific Downsizing After $840M Impairment Charge

Core Scientific (CORZ) reduced its headcount by 10% in the second quarter as part of cost-cutting measures to deal with market turmoil, the cryptocurrency miner announced on Thursday.

The company posted a quarterly net loss of $861.7 million, including an $840 million charge driven by a revaluation of assets and a $150.2 million charge due to declines in digital asset prices.

“To date, we have eliminated approximately 10% of our workforce — none of whom are involved in our data center activities,” CEO Mike Levitt said during the quarterly earnings call.
