Core Scientific T-Shirt - Crypto Mining Industry Bankrupt Defunct Logo Tee
Wear a piece of cryptocurrency mining history. Core Scientific was one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies in North America, operating massive data centers filled with specialized computers mining cryptocurrency around the clock. The publicly-traded company built out enormous mining capacity during the crypto boom, positioning itself as a leader in blockchain infrastructure and digital asset mining with facilities consuming enough electricity to power small cities.
Despite being a mining industry leader, Core Scientific became a high-profile casualty of the 2022 crypto collapse. Bitcoin's price crash from $69,000 to under $16,000 devastated mining revenue while electricity costs remained constant, equipment purchased during the bull market at inflated prices became obsolete, the company had sold future Bitcoin production forward at prices that became underwater, massive debt obligations from facility expansion and equipment purchases became unsustainable, and mounting losses as mining became unprofitable forced the company into bankruptcy. Core Scientific filed for Chapter 11 in late 2022, becoming the largest crypto mining bankruptcy as the industry imploded.
This tee features the Core Scientific logo with a distressed, cracked vintage aesthetic that marks this crypto mining collapse.
