That’s edging up on credit card rates for strong borrowers wild. NerdWallet has Chase Freedom with a lower bound of 18.49% and Citi Diamond Preferred with 16.74%.

it's pretty well accepted that if you ever actually pay the credit card rate, you're doing it wrong

Indeed, that's what's crazy about CoreWeave's bond rate being so high. They're actually paying it?!

Unless they issued the bonds with a call option, yes.

CoreWeave pays 9.625%. But someone expected them to not be able to meet that so they sold what debt they had at discount to someone who now effectively gets 16% on amount they paid for.

Still, this means that people would only be willing to loan new money to them at that 16% rate.
