Core Scientific began as a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC"), also called a blank-check company, which is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, other entity, or person. On January 20, 2022, Core Scientific completed a business combination with a target company and began offering blockchain and artificial intelligence infrastructure services. Then, on March 3, 2022, Culper Research ("Culper") issued a short report alleging that Core Scientific "has wildly oversold both its mining and hosting businesses, which it cobbled together in a series of questionable transactions before dumping onto the market via SPAC." The Culper report also stated that, "[o]n Monday, Core [Scientific] disclosed that its board waived the 180-day lockup on over 282 million shares, making them free to be dumped just 5 trading days from today[,]" which "shows insiders have abandoned any pretense of care for minority shareholders."
On this news, Core Scientific's stock price fell $0.72 per share, or 9.35%, to close at $6.98 per share on March 3, 2022.
