A debt of $7.5 billion has been raised by CoreWeave in order to finance their artificial intelligence initiative. The month of May was a highly successful month for CoreWeave, as the artificial intelligence cloud infrastructure company was able to get a debt facility of $7.5 billion from investors such as Blackstone, Magnetar, and Coatue. CoreWeave's success made May a very profitable month for the company.

At the beginning of this month, CoreWeave made the statement that it had successfully concluded a new investment round that was led by Coatue. This information was reported by The Wall Street Journal. The extraordinary amount of $1.1 billion that was raised during the investment round resulted in the company being valued at $19 billion. In comparison to the valuation of the company just five months earlier, when it was valued at $7 billion as a result of a secondary sale, this represents an almost threefold increase in the corporation's value. Furthermore, this is a significant increase from the $20 billion valuation that the company earned in May of the previous year as part of a Series B extension.

The company that is funded by Nvidia then made the statement that it will be building its new European headquarters in London, in addition to committing to invest 1.25 billion dollars into the continent. This announcement was made just one week before the previous week.

CoreWeave has reportedly been successful in raising more than $12 billion in stock and debt securities over the course of the past year, as stated by the company. For the month of August in the previous year, CoreWeave was able to successfully raise an additional loan financing equal to $2.3 billion.
