Thematic Exposure — 3/10

CORZ is pivoting from Bitcoin mining to HPC/AI colocation — a hot theme but CORZ has no oligopoly position. Sub-1% of US colocation market. Not a top-15 developer. Deeply fragmented AI-infra field (Equinix, Digital Realty, NTT, AirTrunk, WULF, CIFR, HUT, Crusoe, etc.). Mid-pack/declining in Bitcoin mining. Price-taker. 67% of Q1'26 revenue from a single tenant (CoreWeave) whose exclusivity already lapsed at two sites. Oligopoly gate FAIL. Weight: 35%

HPC/AI Colocation Pivot — Hot Theme, No Moat

The AI-infrastructure/colocation theme is genuinely hot, and CORZ is building capacity. But it holds sub-1% of the US colocation market in a deeply fragmented field. Not a top-15 developer. Price-taker, not a price-setter. The theme is right; the competitive position is wrong.

Single-Tenant Concentration Risk

67% of Q1'26 revenue comes from a single tenant — CoreWeave. Exclusivity already lapsed at two sites. This is the opposite of a diversified, oligopoly-protected franchise.

Bitcoin Mining — Declining Legacy

CORZ was originally a Bitcoin mining operation. Mining revenue is declining as the company pivots to higher-value HPC/AI colocation. Mid-pack in mining with no differentiation.

Oligopoly Gate

FAIL

Sub-1% of US colocation. Not top-15 developer. Fragmented market. Price-taker.
