2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will CoreWeave announce bankruptcy by December 31, 2027? — the market puts it at 11%, with $15k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if CoreWeave announces it will file for bankruptcy or has filed by December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. This announcement must come from official channels, such as a recorded statement by the CEO or legal team, or be confirmed by credible reporting. Readers often mistake general financial distress or stock declines for an actual bankruptcy filing.
  • Above 64 — the market puts it at 63%, closing 26 May 2027. The market resolves to Yes if CoreWeave, Inc. reports having more than 64 data centers in fiscal 2026. It resolves to No if the company reports 64 or fewer data centers for that same period. Readers often mistake the linked news headline about stock prices for the actual resolution criteria.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
