Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Description of Business
CoreWeave, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “CoreWeave”), was originally formed as a Delaware limited liability company in 2017 and then converted to a Delaware corporation in 2018. The Company is headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey. The Company is a modern cloud infrastructure technology company which offers the CoreWeave Cloud Platform that consists of proprietary software and cloud services that deliver the automation and efficiency needed to manage complex AI infrastructure at scale.
Initial Public Offering
In March 2025, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), in which the Company issued and sold 36,590,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a public offering price of $40.00 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of $1.4 billion after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and before deducting offering costs of $31 million. As of March 31, 2025, the underwriters’ over-allotment option remained unexercised. Subsequently, in April 2025, the underwriters exercised a portion of their over-allotment option and purchased from the Company an additional 1,760,000 shares of Class A common stock at the IPO price, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $68 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions.
In connection with the IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company's Series Seed, Series A, Series B, and Series B-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 155,111,700 shares of Class A common stock, and all outstanding shares of the Company's Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 29,874,066 shares of redeemable Class A common stock. Refer to Note 11—Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Redeemable Common Stock, and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) for additional information.
In connection with the IPO, the Company recognized $177 million of stock-based compensation expense, net of $17 million of capitalized costs primarily related to the development of internal-use software, associated with vested restricted stock units ("RSUs") with a liquidity-event performance-based vesting condition which was satisfied in connection with the IPO and for which the service-based vesting condition had also been satisfied as of that date. Concurrently with the IPO, the Company issued shares of its Class A common stock upon settlement of RSUs subject to such performance-based vesting conditions. To meet the related tax withholding requirements for the net settlement of the vested RSUs, the Company withheld 392,135 shares underlying such equity awards, resulting in the net issuance of 518,785 shares of Class A common stock. Based on the IPO price of $40.00 per share, the Company’s related tax withholding obligation was $16 million and was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 11—Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Redeemable Common Stock, and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) for additional information.
At the closing of the IPO, the maturity date of the Company’s 2024 Term Loan Facility (as defined in Note 10—Debt), accelerated and became due in April 2025, and the Company became subject to a requirement to fund $500 million into designated escrow accounts in connection with its DDTL 2.0 Facility (as defined in Note 10—Debt), which amount was classified as restricted cash, current, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 10—Debt for additional information.
In March 2025, the Company also entered into a commercial agreement (the "Commercial Agreement") with a strategic customer to provide AI infrastructure services. In connection with the Commercial Agreement, the Company issued 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on March 31, 2025, with an aggregate value of $350 million at the time of issuance based on a price per share equal to the IPO price. Refer to Note 2—Revenue for additional information.
Prior to the IPO, deferred offering costs, which consisted of accounting, legal and other fees directly related to the IPO, were capitalized as other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the IPO, $31 million of deferred offering costs were reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of the net proceeds received from the IPO.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year or any future period.
The Company determines at inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which the Company has made an investment or in which the Company has other variable interests is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Investments that are considered VIEs are evaluated to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, in which case it would be required to consolidate the entity. The Company evaluates whether it has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the investment or other variable interest is accounted for in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP.
In circumstances where an entity does not have the characteristics of a VIE, it would be considered a voting interest entity (“VOE”). The Company would consolidate a VOE when the Company has a majority equity interest and has control over significant operating, financial, and investing decisions of the entity.
Stock Split
On March 14, 2025, the Company effected atwenty-for-one stock split of its common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value of financial assets and liabilities; useful lives assigned to property and equipment; the discount rates used for operating and finance leases; valuation of derivative and warrant liabilities; stock-based compensation, including the determination of the fair value of the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO; and accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and the measurement of uncertain tax positions. Assumptions are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain relevant and reasonable, particularly in areas of high subjectivity. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that management considers reasonable.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the IPO (the "Prospectus").
Research and Development
Research and development costs were $70 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included within technology and infrastructure expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Segment Information
The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the chief executive officer, reviews discrete financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of regularly making operating decisions, allocation of resources, and assessing financial performance. The Company operates its business inone operating segment and, therefore, has one reportable segment.
The CODM uses consolidated net loss to measure segment profit or loss in order to identify underlying trends in the performance of the business for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s objective in making resource allocation decisions is to optimize the consolidated financial results. Significant segment expenses that the CODM reviews and utilizes to manage the Company’s operations are cost of revenue, technology and infrastructure, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses at the consolidated level, which are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other segment items included in consolidated net loss include gain (loss) on fair value adjustments, interest expense, net, other income, net, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes, which are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction.

- Revenue
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company primarily generates its revenue through providing cloud computing services, which include both committed contracts and on-demand services. Revenue recognized related to customer commitments, including revenue from delivering capacity prior to commitment start dates, represented 98% and 94% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Significant Customers
The following customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Customer A | 72% | 33% |
| Customer B | * | 18% |
| Customer C | * | 32% |
| Customer D | * | * |
- Customer did not represent 10% or more of revenue
The customer references of A through D may represent different customers than those reported in a previous period.
Customer A and D accounted for 40% and 43% of accounts receivable, net, respectively, as of March 31, 2025. Customer A accounted for 66% of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2024.
Strategic Customer Agreement
In March 2025, the Company entered into a Commercial Agreement with OpenAI OpCo, LLC ("OpenAI"), pursuant to which the Company provides OpenAI access to cloud computing capacity through fulfillment of reserved capacity orders submitted to the Company by OpenAI. As of March 31, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of delivery and availability of service requirements, OpenAI has committed to pay the Company up to $11.9 billion through October 2030. In the event of the Company’s repeated failure to meet availability of service requirements, OpenAI has the right to terminate all or a portion of the committed amount. Under the outstanding order submitted pursuant to the Commercial Agreement, the Company has established a special purpose vehicle that will hold the infrastructure, and the Company intends for the special purpose vehicle to incur indebtedness to finance its obligations under the Commercial Agreement. Upon an event of default, OpenAI has a lien and security interest in the equity of the special purpose vehicle. As part of the Commercial Agreement, the Company issued 8,750,000 shares of its Class A common stock in connection with the IPO in March 2025, having an aggregate value of $350 million at the time of issuance based on a price per share equal to the IPO price.
The Company accounted for the $350 million as a contra-revenue asset and classified $27 million as short-term included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $323 million as long-term included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue will be recognized net of the contra-revenue asset amount over time as the Company provides the related infrastructure services. The Company is still evaluating the accounting treatment of the Commercial Agreement.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. A receivable is recorded at the invoice amount, net of an allowance for credit losses, and is recognized in the period when the Company has the right to invoice its customers and when its right to consideration is unconditional. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 60 days. On occasion, the Company has granted payment terms of up to 360 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of payment, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component.
Deferred revenue, including current and non-current balances as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $4.0 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized from deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $587 million and $64 million, respectively. The deferred revenue balances as of March 31, 2025 include $450 million from the Commercial Agreement with OpenAI and the Company is still evaluating the accounting treatment of the agreement.
Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO")
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $14.7 billion of unsatisfied RPO, of which 58% is expected to be recognized over the initial 24 months ending March 31, 2027,40% between months 25 and 48, and the remaining balance recognized between months 49 and 72. This does not include any amounts from the Commercial Agreement with OpenAI (as described above) as the Company is still evaluating the accounting treatment of that agreement.
- Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs. This hierarchy prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management judgment or estimation.
The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy as of the end of each reporting period (in thousands):

|---|---|---|
| Stock price | $41 | $48 |
| Volatility | 60% | 60% |

While the Company has entered into various indemnification agreements, it has not incurred any material costs or claims under these agreements to date, and management does not expect any future claims to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification provisions due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, there have been no claims under any indemnification provisions.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, or claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company investigates these claims as they arise. Although claims are inherently unpredictable, the Company is currently not aware of any matters that would, individually or taken together, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has not accrued any material potential loss.

Delayed Draw Term Loans
In July 2023, the Company entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan 1.0 Facility (as amended, the “DDTL 1.0 Facility”), which provided for a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $2.3 billion. In May 2024, the Company entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan 2.0 Facility (as amended, the “DDTL 2.0 Facility”), which provides for another delayed draw term loan facility of up to $7.6 billion. The principal amount of the DDTL 1.0 Facility is required to be repaid in quarterly installments, with the final balloon payment due on March 28, 2028.
Under the DDTL 2.0 Facility, additional loans may be drawn until June 2025, with an option to extend the commitment period bythree months subject to lender consent. The principal amount of the DDTL 2.0 Facility is required to be repaid in quarterly installments, beginning in October 2025, with the final balloon payment duefive years after the applicable loan was funded. The total loans available are constrained by the purchase price of assets for which the loans are being used to finance with such percentage based upon the depreciable cost of graphics processing unit ("GPU") servers.
The Company’s DDTL 1.0 Facility and DDTL 2.0 Facility require the Company to maintain certain restricted cash balances. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash equal to 4.00% of the drawn balance on the DDTL 1.0 Facility, but in no event greater than $56 million. As of each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $56 million was restricted cash in relation to the DDTL 1.0 Facility. Prior to the IPO, the Company was required to maintain restricted cash equal to 2.00% of the drawn balance on the DDTL 2.0 Facility, which was $77 million as of December 31, 2024. In connection with the IPO, the restricted cash requirement was reduced to 1.00% of the drawn balance on the DDTL 2.0 Facility, which was $44 million as of March 31, 2025.
Additionally, at the closing of the IPO, the Company became subject to a requirement to fund $500 million into designated escrow accounts in connection with the DDTL 2.0 Facility, which was classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents, current, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025. In April 2025, the conditions requiring restriction of this amount were lifted and the $500 million previously classified as restricted cash in connection with the DDTL 2.0 Facility was no longer restricted.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 21, 2024, and as amended in October and December 2024, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Revolving Credit Facility") with a capacity of $650 million. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 21, 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $175 million letter of credit sub-facility. The letter of credit sub-facility entered into by the Company reduces the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amounts associated with outstanding letters of credit were $11 million and $0 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company hadnot drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had drawn $50 million and had $589 million of remaining capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (after giving effect to the outstanding letters of credit). Obligations outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by pledges of certain assets as collateral. The Company is required to pay a fee of 0.25% per annum on the average undrawn commitment.
In May 2025, the Company further amended the Revolving Credit Facility to increase the commitments thereunder from $650 million to $1.5 billion and increase the letter of credit sub-facility from $175 million to $350 million.
2024 Term Loan Facility
In December 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for a $1.0 billion term loan facility (the "2024 Term Loan Facility") consisting of (i) a $229 million secured facility and (ii) a $771 million unsecured facility. In connection with the IPO, the maturity date of the 2024 Term Loan Facility was accelerated and it was repaid on April 11, 2025.
2025 Term Loan Facility
In March 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for a $300 million unsecured term loan facility (the “2025 Term Loan Facility”). Amounts borrowed under the 2025 Term Loan Facility may only be borrowed in a single funding. There were no borrowings under the 2025 Term Loan Facility and in connection with the IPO, the 2025 Term Loan Facility was terminated and all unfunded commitments of the lenders were terminated.
Magnetar Loan
In August 2024, the Company entered into an AI Computing Service Reserved Capacity and Prepayment Agreement with MagAI Ventures (the “MagAI Capacity Agreement”). Under this arrangement, the Company will provide portfolio companies of MagAI Ventures with a pre-determined amount of cloud computing services at a pre-negotiated hourly rate. The specific amount of cloud computing services, inclusive of the capacity and term, to be used by each portfolio company, if any, will be negotiated individually with each portfolio company, and will be subject to final approval by MagAI Ventures. The Company received a refundable deposit of $230 million in connection with the MagAI Capacity Agreement. Any consumption of cloud services by MagAI Ventures, including by their portfolio companies, under this arrangement is deducted from this deposit amount, with the unused portion refunded back to MagAI Ventures at the end of the contractual term. Throughout the term of the arrangement, if MagAI Ventures portfolio companies do not contract for the full amount of the pre-determined cloud computing services, the Company may agree with MagAI Ventures to instead use this available capacity for other customers, and share profits with MagAI Ventures for any revenue realized above the revenue that would have been generated by charging these customers the MagAI Ventures pre-negotiated rate.
The initial MagAI Capacity Agreement provided for certain termination options for MagAI Ventures, including if a specified amount of capacity is not available by a target commencement date. The MagAI Capacity Agreement runs for an initial period offour years, with an option for MagAI Ventures to extend fortwo additional years. As of December 31, 2024, the refundable deposit was included within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as no services had yet been provided under this arrangement.
In February 2025, the MagAI Capacity Agreement was amended to provide certain termination for convenience rights to both MagAI Ventures and the Company. As a result of the amendment, the Company now considers the refundable deposit received from Magnetar to be in-substance debt (the "Magnetar Loan") under ASC 470, Sale of Future Revenue, and has reclassified the balance to debt, current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No services had been provided under the MagAI Capacity Agreement as of March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, the $230 million refundable deposit remains available for cloud computing services for MagAI Ventures' portfolio companies. Upon such termination by either party, the unused portion of the $230 million deposit will be refunded along with a specified multiplier that increases over the term of the arrangement that equates to a 12% annual rate of return. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $249 million classified as debt, current, including $19 million of redemption premiums, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accretion of the redemption premiums was recognized in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes
In October 2021, the Company executed a note issuance agreement and a note purchase agreement with a related party for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million of convertible senior secured notes (the “2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes”). The Company determined that the conversion features, the accelerated redemption features, the variability in interest payments, and the Company’s redemption option were required to be bifurcated and accounted for as an embedded derivative. The investors elected to convert all of the outstanding 2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes on September 17, 2024, pursuant to the original terms of the conversion feature.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded losses related to the fair value adjustment of these derivative liabilities of $82 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, total interest costs for the 2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes were $3 million, comprised of coupon interest of $2 million and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs of $1 million.
OEM Financing Arrangements
The Company entered into various agreements with an original equipment manufacturer ("OEM Financing Arrangements") whereby the Company obtained financing for certain equipment with an aggregate notional balance of $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company granted a security interest for the financed equipment related to these financing agreements. These agreements generally have terms betweentwo tothree years.
DCSP Financing Arrangements
In June 2023, the Company entered into a service agreement with a data center service provider (the "DCSP") (the “DCSP Service Agreement”). Under the DCSP Service Agreement, the DCSP will design, purchase, build, and manage a data center providing access to up to 78 MW of electrical power to be delivered in phases. Separately, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased $116 million of critical infrastructure assets to support the data center site (the “Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets”).
In October 2024, the Company, as a lender, entered into a Senior Secured Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “DCSP Note Receivable”, and collectively, with the DCSP Service Agreement, the “DCSP Financing Arrangements”) with the DCSP to facilitate the purchase of critical infrastructure assets. The DCSP Note Receivable provides for a total commitment of up to $305 million in delayed draw term loan funding for a term ofseven years with a stated interest rate of 13.00% per annum.
The DCSP Note Receivable is secured by the new and existing critical infrastructure assets that support current and future phases of the build out at the data center and is prepayable at any time by the DCSP with no penalty.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the DCSP borrowed under the DCSP Note Receivable to settle amounts previously advanced to the DCSP by the Company, finance purchases of additional critical infrastructure assets, and purchase the Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets. Under the terms of the DCSP Service Agreement, the Company continues to control the Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets and the Company recorded a financing obligation related to the consideration received for the Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets. The financing obligation is payable over a term of 14 years and has an imputed interest rate of 15%. The Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets are included in property and equipment, net, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are depreciated over their estimated useful life.
As of March 31, 2025, the future contractual principal payments under the financing obligations due to the DCSP were as follows (in thousands):

| Total financing obligation | $115,300 |
| Less: current portion | (2,807) |
| Long-term portion | $112,493 |
The DCSP Financing Arrangements allow for the net settlement of amounts due between the parties and meet the criteria for right of setoff in accordance with ASC 210, Balance Sheet. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the gross amount of the DCSP Note Receivable was $275 million and $224 million, respectively, which is presented net of the financing obligation of $115 million and $116 million, respectively. The Company didnot recognize any interest income during the year ended December 31, 2024, as the Company did not expect to be entitled to the accrued interest. The Company began recognizing interest income associated with this arrangement in March 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $3 million of interest income in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

- Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Redeemable Common Stock, and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Redeemable Common Stock
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had five classes of redeemable convertible preferred stock, which consisted of the following (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| SharesAuthorized · SharesIssued andOutstanding · IssuancePricePer Share · CarryingValue · AggregateLiquidationPreference | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Series Seed | 60,000 | 45,567 | $0.05 | $2,039 | $2,039 | ||

| Total | 206,169 | 184,635 | $1,722,111 | $1,618,059 | |||
As of March 31, 2025, there wereno shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding.
As discussed in Note 1—Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in connection with the IPO, all shares of Series Seed, Series A, Series B, and Series B-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock then outstanding, totaling 155,111,700 shares, were automatically converted into an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock. The carrying value of $559 million was reclassified into stockholders' equity (deficit). All shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock then outstanding, totaling 29,523,120 shares, were automatically converted into 29,874,066 shares of redeemable Class A common stock.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid a dividend in kind to the holders of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock, which resulted in additional shares being issued upon conversion. These additional shares issued upon conversion were not legally outstanding prior to the IPO and upon conversion were included in the redeemable Class A common stock shares outstanding.
The redeemable Class A common stock is subject to a right to be “put” to the Company on the first trading day immediately after the second anniversary of the closing of the IPO (the “Put Right”). Upon exercise of the Put Right, holders of these shares would be entitled to receive from the Company an amount in cash equal to the original issue price per share of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock of $38.95 per share, representing an aggregate price of $1.2 billion. The carrying value of $1.2 billion was reclassified from redeemable convertible preferred stock to redeemable Class A common stock and continues to be classified as mezzanine equity due to the shares being redeemable outside of the Company’s control, as the related Put Right remains outstanding and unexercised. Ongoing accretion is recorded to bring the carrying value of the redeemable Class A common stock to its redemption value over time, consistent with the original terms of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock. Redeemable Class A common stock approximates its redemption value, with remaining accretion of less than $1 million as of March 31, 2025.
The rights of the holders of the Company’s redeemable Class A common stock are identical to the Company’s Class A common stock, except with respect to the Put Right. The Put Right for each share will automatically terminate if either (i) the share is assigned, sold, or transferred publicly, or (ii) the Company’s Class A common stock has a 20-day volume-weighted average price in any consecutive 30 trading day period of at least 175% of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock original issue price of $38.95 per share after the IPO and on or before the second anniversary of the closing of the IPO, which is in March 2027. Upon termination of the Put Right, the redeemable Class A common stock will be reclassified into Class A common stock within stockholders’ equity (deficit).
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 29,874,066 andno shares of redeemable Class A common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.
Dividends
Holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock were entitled to participate in any dividends distributed to holders of common stock, as if converted.
Holders of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock were entitled to a cumulative dividend that accrued from day-to-day at a rate of 10% per annum of the accumulated stated value, equal to $38.95 per share (the accumulated stated value is the defined “original issue price” at the time of conversion). Cumulative dividends were payable quarterly from the time the shares were issued until the completion of an IPO. These dividends could be paid in cash or in kind by being added to the accumulated stated value. After the IPO and conversion to redeemable Class A common stock, these dividend rights ceased, and there wereno accrued and unpaid dividends as of March 31, 2025. For the three months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid total cash dividends of $29 million and $0 million, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended such that the Company’s common stock consists of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. As of March 31, 2025, there wereno shares of Class C common stock issued and outstanding. Common stockholders are entitled to receive any dividends if and when declared by the Board, and upon liquidation or dissolution, are also entitled to receive all assets legally available for distribution to stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares held, subject to the rights of preferred stockholders (if then outstanding). As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no dividends on the Company’s common stock had been declared by the Board.

The Company recorded a loss related to the fair value adjustment of these warrant liabilities of $15 million within gain (loss) on fair value adjustments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
On March 21, 2025, the Company executed an amendment with the warrant holders to fix the exercise price to $1.5495 per share, subject to adjustments for standard anti-dilution adjustments. As a result of the amendment, the Company concluded that the warrants met the requirements for equity classification for contracts that are indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company recognized a gain of $29 million for the final fair value adjustment pre-modification, and a loss of $2 million in connection with the modification and fixing of the exercise price, which were recorded in gain (loss) on fair value adjustments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and reclassified the final value of the warrants to additional paid-in capital. Refer to Note 3—Fair Value Measurement for further details.
Stock Option Plan
In July 2019, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “2019 Stock Option Plan” or the “2019 Plan”). The purpose of the 2019 Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain, and motivate eligible persons whose potential contributions are important to the success of the Company by offering those eligible persons an opportunity to participate in the Company’s future performance through the grant of awards of common stock. The total number of shares authorized by the Board to be issued under the 2019 Plan was 73,637,600 shares as of December 31, 2024. Prior to the Company’s IPO, in the event that shares previously issued under the 2019 Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to a forfeiture provision, right of first refusal, or repurchase by the Company, such shares were added back to the number of shares then available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. As of December 31, 2024,3,750,480 shares were available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. In March 2025, in connection with the IPO and the adoption of the 2025 Plan (as defined below), the Company ceased granting awards under the 2019 Plan. Any outstanding awards granted under the 2019 Plan remain subject to the terms of the 2019 Plan, and any shares that are forfeited or repurchased by the Company under the 2019 Plan will be automatically transferred to be available for issuance under the 2025 Plan.
In March 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) as a successor to the 2019 Plan, which became effective in connection with the IPO. The 2025 Plan authorizes the award of incentive stock options (“ ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”), restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and RSUs, as well as performance and stock bonus awards. Pursuant to the 2025 Plan, the ISOs may be granted only to employees of the Company, while all other award types may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants. A total of 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were initially reserved, plus any reserved shares of Class A common stock not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the 2019 Plan on the effective date of the 2025 Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan will increase automatically on January 1 of each of 2026 through 2035 by the number of shares equal to the lesser of (a)five percent of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of all classes of common stock plus the total number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock (if any), in each case as of the immediately preceding December 31, or (b) such number of shares of Class A common stock as may be determined by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). In the event that shares previously issued under the 2025 Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to a forfeiture provision, right of first refusal, or repurchase by the Company, such shares shall be added back to the number of shares then available for issuance under the 2025 Plan. As of March 31, 2025,50,855,295 shares were available for issuance under the 2025 Plan.
The Company may grant stock options to employees, contractors, or other entities in order to incentivize them to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business. Stock options may be treated as incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options depending on the specific circumstances of an optionee’s relationship with the Company and the number of stock options vesting or exercised in a calendar year. Stock options granted under the 2019 and 2025 Plans generally vest either over athree-year orfour-year period. The Company may award stock options that are immediately exercisable, subject to a repurchase right. The Company may also grant stock options that allow for acceleration of vesting. The stock options granted under the 2019 and 2025 Plans will expire after ten years from the time of their grant. The Company issues Class A common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Pursuant to the equity exchange agreement between the Company and each of its co-founders, each co-founder has the right to exchange any shares of Class A common stock received upon the exercise of certain option awards granted prior to September 2024 and held by such co-founder into an equal number of shares of Class B common stock.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2025 ESPP”), which became effective in connection with the IPO. The 2025 ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with accumulated payroll deductions. A total of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2025 ESPP.
The number of shares reserved for issuance and sale under the 2025 ESPP will increase automatically on January 1st of each of 2026 through 2035 by the number of shares equal to the lesser of (a) the number of shares equal to 1% of the sum of the total number of outstanding shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock plus the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock (if any), in each case outstanding as of the immediately preceding December 31 and (b) such number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock determined by the Board or Compensation Committee; provided, that the Board or Compensation Committee may in its sole discretion reduce the amount of the increase in any particular calendar year. Subject to stock splits, recapitalizations, or similar events, no more than 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock may be issued over the term of the 2025 ESPP.
The purchase price for shares purchased under the 2025 ESPP during any given purchase period is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on (1) the first trading day of the applicable offering period or (2) the last trading day of the applicable purchase period. Each offering period may itself consist of one or more purchase periods. The 2025 ESPP has an initial offering period beginning on March 28, 2025 and ending on November 15, 2025, with a purchase date of November 15, 2025. The initial enrollment period began on the date of the IPO and ended on April 18, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, no amounts have been withheld on behalf of employees for a future purchase under the ESPP due to the timing of payroll deductions and the open enrollment period. As of March 31, 2025, no shares of Class A common stock have been purchased under the 2025 ESPP.

As of March 31, 2025, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $763 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period oftwo years.
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cost of revenue | $2,693 | $388 |
| Technology and infrastructure | 54,599 | 2,357 |
| Sales and marketing | 2,820 | 867 |
| General and administrative | 123,861 | 4,577 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense (1) (2) | $183,973 | $8,189 |
(1) Stock-based compensation expense was net of $19 million and $2 million of capitalized costs primarily related to the development of internal-use software during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(2) The Company recognized $177 million of stock-based compensation expense, net of $17 million of capitalized costs primarily related to the development of internal-use software, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 associated with vested RSUs as a result of the satisfaction of the liquidity-event performance-based vesting condition which was satisfied in connection with the IPO.
- Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was (17.1)% and (13.5)% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company computed its provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by applying a forecasted annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings and adjusting for discrete items. However, the Company computed its provision for income taxes based on the year-to-date actual effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, because the forecasted annual effective tax rate was highly sensitive to fluctuations in pre-tax income and a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate could not be made. The Company recorded income tax expense in all periods presented despite experiencing pre-tax losses primarily due to nondeductible losses on fair value adjustments and projected limitations on the Company's ability to realize certain tax benefits, which has resulted in the Company maintaining a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. The increase in year-over-year income tax expense primarily resulted from an increase in pre-tax income excluding these nondeductible losses and the inability to record a net benefit from deferred tax assets generated.
The Company intends to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances which the Company anticipates in the foreseeable future. A release of valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a possible decrease to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to the accumulation of positive evidence, for example levels of profitability, that the Company is able to achieve.
- Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The Company computes net loss per share utilizing the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed income. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, redeemable Class A common stock, and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, and in the case of redeemable Class A common stock, redemption. As a result, the basic and diluted net loss per share for all shares of Class A common stock, redeemable Class A common stock, and Class B common stock are the same and therefore presented on a combined basis.
The Company considers its redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants to be participating securities as the holders of these securities are contractually entitled to participate in income but not contractually required to participate in losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s participating securities.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net loss | $(314,641) | $(129,248) |
| Dividends and accretion on Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock | (28,722) | — |
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders, basic | $(343,363) | $(129,248) |
| Change in fair value of common stock warrants | (26,845) | — |
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted | $(370,208) | $(129,248) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average shares used in computing net loss attributable to common stockholders, basic | 245,608 | 209,228 |
| Effect of dilutive securities: | ||
| Common stock warrants | 3,685 | — |
| Weighted-average shares used in computing net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted | 249,293 | 209,228 |
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic | $(1.40) | $(0.62) |
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted | $(1.49) | $(0.62) |
The number of securities that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented because including them would have been anti-dilutive are as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Redeemable convertible preferred stock | — | 159,161 |
| Outstanding convertible notes | — | 24,544 |
| Outstanding stock options | 45,853 | 50,832 |
| Outstanding RSUs | 23,197 | — |
| Outstanding warrants to purchase common stock | — | 4,337 |
| Over-allotment options to purchase common stock | 5,625 | — |
| Total | 74,675 | 238,874 |
The table above does not include 2,799,080 RSUs outstanding as of March 31, 2024 because these awards were subject to a performance-based vesting condition that was not considered probable as of that date. The table also does not include 2,104,900 contingently issuable shares as of March 31, 2024 related to the Company's acquisition of Conductor Technologies, Inc. in January 2023 (the "Conductor Acquisition"), as the contingency had not been met as of that date.

- Geographic Information
Revenue by geography is based on the address of the customer as specified in the Company's customer contracts. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area (in thousands):
