How we checked this
Checked on October 17, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The Auburn lease is stated directly. A ~$25 million annual revenue run rate does appear on the pathway slide, but the extracted text does not show which site or sites it belongs to.
Confirmed in the source:
- Core Scientific signed a lease, with an option to buy, for an existing data center in Auburn, Alabama with 11 MW of current critical IT load
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The ~$25 million annual revenue run rate applies to the Austin and Alabama HPC data centers
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
