CoreWeave’s $9 billion merger bid for Core Scientific was rejected after the firm’s stockholders voted against the deal. Core Scientific is mostly known for its high-density colocation services and mining. The deal was supposed to be an all-stock merger. However, shareholders reportedly rejected the offer because of the volatile price of the recently listed CRWV, making the value of the share swap uncertain. Even before the vote, many large shareholders and groups had publicly opposed the deal before it was finally formally rejected. If you're reading this, you’re already ahead.
