The record, newest first

  1. Community Impact reported the Denton expansion under development, with the city's power allotment raised to 394 MW and completion expected in 2027. (Community Impact, May 7, 2026)

  2. Core Scientific shareholders did not approve the CoreWeave merger, which was terminated; the companies said their commercial partnership would continue. (CoreWeave (Business Wire), Oct. 30, 2025)

  3. CoreWeave agreed to buy Core Scientific in an all-stock deal valued at about $9 billion. (Denton Record-Chronicle, July 9, 2025)

  4. Core Scientific and CoreWeave announced 70 MW more of contracted capacity at Denton, bringing the site to about 260 MW of critical IT load. (Core Scientific, Feb. 26, 2025)

  5. After the city's public utilities board backed the plan, the Denton City Council approved measures to expand the site to 78 acres for the conversion from bitcoin mining to AI computing. (The Dallas Morning News, Nov. 20, 2024)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The Dallas Morning News page showed no date; the date is taken from its URL.
  • Data Center Dynamics reported GPUs being deployed at the site, but its page showed no date, so it is not cited; the site may be partly in service.
  • CoreWeave is the tenant, not the owner: its planned acquisition of Core Scientific was terminated after Core Scientific stockholders rejected it in October 2025.
  • Earlier Dallas Morning News reporting (Nov. 2024) said finishing partly built structures would bring operational capacity to 197 MW; the 394 MW allotment is a later, larger power figure.

The full record

Status note
A former bitcoin mine being converted to AI computing, with capacity contracted to CoreWeave; buildout was expected to finish in 2027.
Power note
394 MW is the city power allotment as reported by Community Impact (citing Denton Municipal Electric), approved by the Denton City Council in November 2024; the council record itself was not opened. Core Scientific puts the site's critical IT load at about 260 MW after a 70 MW expansion.
