Nvidia-Backed CoreWeave Eyes $35 Billion IPO Amid AI Boom

CoreWeave, a cloud computing company specializing in AI infrastructure, is preparing for a major IPO on Nasdaq under the ticker “CRWV.” The Nvidia-backed firm aims to raise up to $2.7 billion, setting a valuation exceeding $35 billion, making it one of the biggest tech listings in recent years.

Key Facts

  • 49 million shares priced between $47 and $55 each.
  • Revenue skyrocketed from $229M in 2023 to $1.9B in 2024, though net losses also climbed to $863M.
  • IPO led by Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs.
  • $11.9B deal with OpenAI, including a $350M private investment from OpenAI.
  • AI infrastructure powered by 300,000 Nvidia GPUs, supporting Meta, IBM, and Microsoft.

The Nvidia Partnership

Nvidia’s strategic backing has been crucial in CoreWeave’s rise. The firm secured $2.3B in debt financing using Nvidia GPUs as collateral and is integrating Nvidia’s latest GB200 NVL72 cloud instances, offering cutting-edge AI processing capabilities.

Market Impact

CoreWeave’s IPO could revive the tech IPO market and signal a strong investor appetite for AI-driven companies. However, economic uncertainty and shifts in AI infrastructure strategies—especially from major clients like Microsoft—add complexity to the landscape.As the AI boom continues, CoreWeave is positioning itself as a key player in next-gen cloud computing, directly competing with Amazon and Google.

Cyprus And Lebanon Move To Advance Long-Planned Electricity Interconnection

Cyprus and Lebanon are taking a significant step toward a long-discussed electricity interconnection project that could reshape energy links across the eastern Mediterranean.

Formal Request To The World Bank

According to reliable information, the two governments are expected to sign a joint letter within days requesting World Bank financing for an undersea electricity interconnection. The move marks the transition from political discussions to a formal international funding process.

From Feasibility Study To Strategic Project

Nicosia and Beirut jointly approached the World Bank at the end of 2025 to prepare a feasibility study for the proposed project. The study is expected to examine technical feasibility, potential tariffs and the project’s commercial viability, all key factors in determining whether the interconnection can move forward.

Beyond creating a physical link between the two countries, the project could strengthen energy security, improve regional integration and expand access to wider electricity markets.

Possible Connection Point In Zouk

Lebanon’s Energy Minister Joe Saddi said in April that the most likely connection point would be the Zouk area.

He added that, if the project proceeds, Cyprus could eventually connect to the wider European electricity grid, creating a potential route for Lebanon to access the same network.

Such a development would extend the project’s importance beyond bilateral cooperation, positioning Cyprus as a potential energy bridge between the Middle East and Europe while giving Lebanon a stronger connection to the European electricity system.

A Broader Diplomatic And Energy Context

The initiative follows another milestone in relations between the two countries. On November 26, 2025, Cyprus and Lebanon signed a landmark agreement delimiting their Exclusive Economic Zones, strengthening the legal framework for closer cooperation in the eastern Mediterranean.

Taken together, the two initiatives suggest that energy, infrastructure and diplomacy are becoming increasingly interconnected as both countries seek to deepen regional cooperation and improve long-term energy security.
