Founders Michael Intrator, Brian Venturo, and Brannin McBee started the business in 2017 as Atlantic Crypto, mining Ethereum on Nvidia GPUs. After the 2018 crypto downturn left the hardware idle, they rebranded to CoreWeave in 2019 and rented the fleet to machine-learning researchers. Headquartered in Roseland, New Jersey, the company now rents Nvidia H100, H200, and GB200 capacity through 32+ data centers. Microsoft drove 62% of 2024 revenue, and a March 2025 OpenAI contract reached $11.9 billion. Nvidia is both investor and supplier. CoreWeave listed on Nasdaq as CRWV on March 28, 2025 at $40.

Equity comp at CoreWeave
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

A protective put caps your downside on the CRWV position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current CRWV option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share CRWV position at $117.03 is worth $585,150. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $11,703 to $23,406) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off CRWV's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

CoreWeave equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge CRWV stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and CRWV's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current CRWV option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does CoreWeave grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at CoreWeave typically takes the form of incentive stock options (ISOs), non-qualified stock options (NSOs), and restricted stock units (RSUs). Incentive stock options can trigger the alternative minimum tax (AMT) when you exercise. Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- When did the CoreWeave IPO lockup expire?
- CoreWeave (CRWV) went public on March 28, 2025. The standard post-IPO lockup runs 180 days, so employee and insider shares generally became sellable around September 24, 2025. Confirm against your own grant paperwork, since some lockups release early or in stages.
- Do CoreWeave RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. CoreWeave restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
