ZONE — am I missing something here? $800M Cerebras contract, $100M raise, and almost nobody discussing it

I've been digging into CleanCore Solutions ($ZONE) and I'm surprised there isn't more discussion about this company given how dramatically the story has changed over the last couple months.

This used to essentially be an aqueous ozone/cleaning company. In June, management announced a pivot into AI critical infrastructure/data centers.

Since then:

* ZONE formed a JV with HST Technologies to develop AI/HPC data centers.
* Its first announced project is a **200 MW West Texas campus**, with potential expansion beyond that.
* ZONE says its development pipeline is now **500+ MW**.
* More importantly, it signed a **10-year colocation agreement with Cerebras ($CBRS)** for a Minnesota data center.
* The Minnesota project is expected to have approximately **55 MW of utility capacity / 40 MW critical IT load**.
* Cerebras is taking **100% of the capacity**.
* ZONE says the initial 10-year contract represents approximately **$800M in contract value**, with two additional 10-year renewal options that could bring total potential contract value above $3B.
* Initial revenue is expected in **Q1 2027**.

So this isn't simply a "we bought some land and someday AI companies might want it" story. They actually have a long-term colocation agreement with Cerebras.

**But here's the ugly part: dilution.**

ZONE just completed a **$100M public offering at $0.25**, consisting of 400M shares/pre-funded warrants plus warrants for another 400M shares.

That's enormous dilution and obviously changes how the company needs to be valued. On the other hand, the raise potentially provides the capital needed to actually build the Minnesota project rather than leaving this as another speculative data-center announcement.

Interestingly, CEO Tyler Hassen participated in the offering and acquired **2M shares at $0.25 plus accompanying warrants**.

Management also just announced plans to change the corporate name from CleanCore Solutions to **Zone Frontier**, which makes considerably more sense given that this is effectively becoming an AI infrastructure company.

I'm not suggesting the old share price means anything after this financing. It doesn't. The fully diluted share count and capital requirements matter enormously here.

What I'm trying to understand is whether the market has gone too far in the opposite direction.

You now have a tiny public company attempting to transition into an AI infrastructure developer with:

**500+ MW development pipeline**
**200 MW Texas project**
**40 MW critical IT Minnesota project**
**100% pre-leased to Cerebras**
**\~$800M initial contracted value**
**\~$100M newly raised capital**

Obviously there are major risks: dilution, execution, construction financing, customer concentration, enormous capex requirements, and the fact that this company has almost no historical track record operating data centers.

But that's also why I find it interesting.

At what valuation does the Cerebras contract + development pipeline outweigh the dilution/execution risk?

I'm genuinely interested in the bear case here. What am I missing?
