(Bloomberg) -- Cloud computing provider CoreWeave is considering filing publicly for an initial public offering in the US within a week, according to people familiar with the situation. The company, one of the hottest startups in artificial intelligence, is looking to raise about $4 billion from the listing, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing a private matter. CoreWeave is expected to target a valuation greater than $35 billion, the people said. Details of the IPO plan could still change and the timing of the filing may be delayed, the people said. A representative for CoreWeave didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The company has drawn backing from tech giants including Cisco Systems Inc., which agreed to invest in CoreWeave as part of a transaction valuing it at $23 billion, Bloomberg News reported in October. Its investors include Nvidia Corp., Magnetar Capital, Coatue Management, Jane Street, Fidelity Management & Research and Lykos Global Management. The cloud computing infrastructure firm was an early adopter of Nvidia’s graphics chips for data centers, getting ahead of a wave of demand for powerful processors to run AI applications. It’s building out data centers based on Nvidia’s chips to offer AI-related computing. CoreWeave tapped Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to lead its IPO, Bloomberg News reported in November. The company’s path to the public market has been closely followed as investors clamor for sizable listings from companies including Klarna Group Plc and Genesys Cloud Services Inc., which are expected to list as soon as in the coming months. Many of the top performing US debutants over the past two years have benefited from the excitement surrounding AI. CoreWeave closed a $650 million credit facility led by JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, according to a statement in October.

Since Trump took office, stocks are down and bitcoin has plunged. What’s going on?

As investors brace for uncertainty, they are likely moving away from stocks into safer assets like government bonds and dumping risky assets like cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, which surged as high as $106,000 around Trump’s inauguration, is down about 16% in the past month, trading around $88,000 on Tuesday.

Norges Bank Investment Management manages the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global, often referred to as the Oljefondet, NBIM or Statens Pensjonsfond Utland (SPU). The aim of the fund is to ensure responsible and long-term management of revenue from Norway’s oil and gas resources so that this wealth benefits both current and future generations of Norway.


What might be a plausible “worst case scenario” for the fund’s value?

Our recently published stress test reveals:
In a debt crisis, the fund’s value can decrease by 40%. That’s about 8 trillion kroner down from today’s value.
A fragmented world scenario could cut the value by 7 trillion Norwegian kroner.
AI correction may trigger a loss of 3.5 trillion kroner.

In this video you learn more from our great colleagues in Oslo and London, Senior Quantitative Risk Analyst Madeleine Hovland and Owen Yang, Associate Researcher in Strategy Research.

We manage the fund with the aim of the highest possible return with moderate risk. To achieve this, we need to identify, measure and manage the risks the fund faces. We use multiple approaches and metrics to assess the risk in our management of the fund:
Stress testing
Concentration analysis
Factor exposure
Liquidity risk

The stress test is a collaborative effort from our strategy research team and our risk department. We also get input from our internal investment professionals. This is to ensure thorough testing, with a keen eye to detail.

With stock valuations near all-time highs in the U.S., many people are asking whether we should reduce or exposure to stocks.
