According to TechCrunch's report on CoreWeave's Q3 financial results and earnings call, the company is increasingly relying on customer prepayments, debt facilities backed by customer-specific contracts, and short-term computing power contracts to raise capital. CoreWeave expects to receive approximately $9 billion in customer prepayments and deposits over the next three months, with over $3 billion tied to the signing of new customer contracts for already-completed capacity. The report noted that while short-term contracts offer more flexible pricing, there is a trade-off regarding the certainty of renewals and cash flows compared to long-term contracts.
