Core Scientific Begins Reporting Daily Bitcoin Production

• Core Scientific now reports daily production on its website, corescientific.com.

AUSTIN, Texas, Apr. 18, 2022 – Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: CORZ) (“Core Scientific” or “the Company”), a leader in high-performance, net carbon neutral blockchain infrastructure and software solutions, today announced it has begun daily reporting of self-mined Bitcoin production on its corporate website, corescientific.com, updated at 12:00pm EST every morning.

“We believe that the daily Bitcoin production metric is one of the most important performance measures in our industry. Sharing daily production provides transparency to our shareholders and other stakeholders,” said Mike Levitt, Core Scientific Chief Executive Officer. “As market leaders, we encourage this kind of transparency across our industry.”

Darin Feinstein, Core Scientific Co-Founder and Co-Chairman, stated, “I have been mining Bitcoin for over a decade, during which time the most commonly asked question has been, ‘how much Bitcoin does your company mine on a daily basis?’ Today, we are the first publicly traded Bitcoin mining company to report our daily self-mined production, which is updated on our website every day at 12:00pm EST.”

As of September 30, 2021, over 50% of the power used in Core Scientific’s operation was generated from non-carbon emitting sources by local power providers pursuant to long-term power contracts. The Company determines whether power is generated from non-emitting energy sources from dispatch reports or grid generation mix reports provided by the Company’s power providers. Based on these reports Core Scientific purchased Green-e certified renewable energy credits (“RECs”) to offset 100% of the carbon produced as a result of its contracted power. The Company expects to maintain its net carbon neutrality by increasing its overall use of renewable power and by purchasing RECs when necessary.
