• The CEO highlighted that CoreWeave has become the fastest cloud provider to exceed $5 billion in revenue, driven by 168% annual growth. 
• CoreWeave’s backlog rose to $66.8 billion at the end of 2025 from $15 billion, with contracts extending to five years. 
• In April, CoreWeave revealed a huge $21 billion agreement with Meta to provide AI cloud capacity through 2032. 

CoreWeave Inc. (CRWV) CEO Michael Intrator has outlined an aggressive expansion strategy in his 2025 shareholder letter, emphasizing rapid data center buildout, an AI infrastructure lead, and strong financial execution as the company scales its cloud platform amid surging demand for artificial intelligence.

Intrator detailed plans to add more than 5 gigawatts of additional data center capacity, targeting over 8 gigawatts of active power by 2030. 

However, CoreWeave stock traded over 1% lower in Thursday’s premarket. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock continued to be in ‘bearish’ territory. 

AI Cloud Expansion And Infrastructure Buildout

In a detailed letter to shareholders, Intrator said the company is expanding into existing and new regions, building facilities from the ground up to maintain control over costs and performance. 

The strategy aims to improve efficiency while supporting long-term demand from AI workloads. He also highlighted that it has become the fastest cloud provider to surpass $5 billion in annual revenue, supported by 168% year-over-year growth. 

“The next phase of AI is accelerating. To make it possible will require both infrastructure and the technology platform that delivers it. The organizations leading will need a partner that can match their ambition to help build, run, and propel their ideas. CoreWeave is that force multiplier and that is precisely what makes us essential.”

CRWV’s Customer Growth And Financial Strength

Intrator noted that the company reported strong customer diversification, increasing its CoreWeave Cloud customer base by about 150% year-on-year in 2025, while ensuring that no single customer accounted for more than 35% of revenue backlog, down from 85% earlier in the year. 

Backlog surged to $66.8 billion from $15 billion, with average contract length extending to five years. The firm also secured approximately $18 billion in debt and equity financing while reducing its weighted average cost of debt by more than 300 basis points, generating roughly $700 million in annualized savings.

“The rapid adoption of inference, and the transition toward agentic workloads, are expected to drive new capabilities up and down the CoreWeave stack,” Intrator said. 

In April, CoreWeave announced a $21 billion deal with Meta to supply AI cloud capacity through 2032. Also, the company has clinched a multi-year deal with Anthropic to provide compute for the development and deployment of its Claude AI models.

CRWV stock has gained over 71% year-to-date.
