Overview
- TeraWulf signed a 20‑year lease with Anthropic for roughly 401 megawatts at its Hawesville, Kentucky Justified Data campus that the company says will generate about $19 billion in contracted revenue.
- The company is preparing a roughly $3.5 billion financing package made up of leveraged loans and high‑yield bonds that Morgan Stanley is expected to lead and launch this year.
- As part of funding moves, TeraWulf agreed to sell its 50.1% stake in the Abernathy joint venture to monetize about $450 million at a premium and free capital for wholly owned projects.
- TeraWulf plans initial capacity in the second half of 2027 with the full 401 MW by early 2028 and potential to scale the campus past 1 GW, with estimated build costs of $3.2 billion to $4.0 billion and material construction and power‑delivery risks.
- Investors reacted positively with share gains and an analyst upgrade from Morgan Stanley, and the deal highlights a wider shift of former bitcoin miners using low‑cost power expertise to pursue long‑term AI hosting contracts while markets watch financing closing and construction milestones.
