TeraWulf Reports Major Shift to AI Infrastructure with $19B Anthropic Lease and 52% HPC Revenue Surge

Aug 5, 2026

TeraWulf reports a major shift to AI infrastructure, with high-performance computing (HPC) leasing driving 71% of its $44.8 million Q2 2026 revenue.

To fund wholly owned expansions like the 1 GW Muskie campus, TeraWulf is selling its Abernathy stake for $530 million. Despite a $939.9 million GAAP net loss from non-cash warrant adjustments, the firm maintains $3 billion in cash.
