CoreWeave revenue doubles as debt pile reaches $35.6B

CoreWeave's Q2 2026 revenue doubled YoY to $2.575B, but operating expenses of $2.624B produced a $49M operating loss and $626M net loss, with total debt at $35.6B. 93% of revenue growth came from existing customers, and just three customers accounted for 72% of quarterly revenue.
