According to @StockMKTNewz, investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald projects that Core Scientific (CORZ) stock could surpass $30 per share in a potential acquisition by AI cloud firm CoreWeave, nearly doubling its recent trading price. This bullish valuation is reportedly driven by a 12-year, $3.5 billion AI infrastructure lease signed with CoreWeave and the high replacement value of Core Scientific's 570MW of power infrastructure. The potential deal highlights a significant trend where Bitcoin (BTC) miners are pivoting their operations to support the AI industry for more stable, long-term cash flows, a move accelerated by reduced profitability following the latest BTC halving. Investor Kevin O’Leary notes that the infrastructure and energy strategies pioneered by BTC miners are now critical for the AI sector's growth, attracting institutional capital. While some miners have struggled with this transition, Core Scientific's strategy of leveraging its existing footprint for the AI boom appears to be a successful model for the crypto mining sector.

According to Kevin O’Leary, the convergence of Bitcoin (BTC) mining and AI is creating significant investment opportunities as miners diversify their operations to survive post-halving profit squeezes. O'Leary states that the massive power infrastructure built for bitcoin mining is now being repurposed for AI data centers, a move attracting institutional investors. He highlights that companies like Core Scientific (CORZ), Hive Digital (HIVE), and Hut 8 (HUT) are already pivoting their data centers to include AI services. O'Leary emphasizes that access to power is the critical factor, pointing to energy-rich regions like West Virginia, Texas, and Alberta, Canada as prime locations for these dual-purpose facilities. This strategic shift is framed as essential for North America to compete in the global 'AI wars,' particularly against China.

According to Kevin O'Leary, as cited by Fox News, Elon Musk's influence on the federal government is significant, but Musk is now stepping back from Dogecoin (DOGE) to concentrate on his other business ventures. This move may reduce short-term speculative momentum for DOGE, as Musk's public endorsements have historically triggered price surges and volatility in the token, impacting its appeal among retail traders (Fox News, May 29, 2025). Crypto market participants should monitor DOGE trading volumes and sentiment closely following this shift, as reduced engagement from Musk could lead to lower price volatility and affect broader meme coin trends.
