TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”), a
leading owner and operator of vertically integrated,
next-generation digital infrastructure powered by predominantly
zero-carbon energy, today provided its unaudited monthly production
and operations update for November 2024.
November 2024 Production and Operations
Highlights
- Bitcoin Production: Self-mined 115 bitcoin,
with an average daily production rate of approximately 3.8
bitcoin.
- Operating Capacity: Maintained 8.4 EH/s of
operational self-mining capacity, a 68.0% year-over-year
increase.
- Power Costs: Achieved an average power cost of
$41,190 per bitcoin mined, equivalent to approximately $0.051/kWh,
excluding proceeds from demand response and ancillary
services.
- Miner Upgrades: Advanced the miner refresh
program at Lake Mariner, replacing legacy S19 Pro/J-Pro and M30s+
models with approximately 7,400 S21 Pro miners.
- Electrical Upgrades: Completed a planned
outage to connect high-voltage redundant power feeds, temporarily
affecting approximately 5.3 EH/s of miners.

_______________1 All figures except Bitcoin Self-Mined are
estimates and remain subject to standard month-end adjustments.2
Computed as the weighted-average opening price of bitcoin on each
respective day the Bitcoin Self-Mined is earned.3 While nameplate
mining inventory as of November 30, 2024 for Lake Mariner is
estimated at 9.7 EH/s, actual monthly hash rate performance depends
on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) performance
tuning to increase efficiency and maximize margin, scheduled
outages (scopes to improve reliability or performance), unscheduled
outages, curtailment due to participation in various cash
generating demand response programs, derate of ASICS due to adverse
weather and ASIC maintenance and repair. Performance in November
was impacted by planned outage for electrical upgrades and miner
fleet upgrade work. Performance in October was impacted by miner
fleet upgrade work.4 Nameplate miner efficiency excludes auxiliary
load.
Management Commentary
Sean Farrell, Chief Operating Officer of TeraWulf remarked,
“November marked a pivotal month for Lake Mariner as we completed
significant upgrades to our electrical infrastructure. These
enhancements will ensure reliable and redundant power delivery to
CB-1, CB-2, and future HPC hosting loads, positioning us to meet
the increasing demand for Tier 3 HPC infrastructure.”
Farrell added, “Despite a brief planned outage, we mined 115
bitcoin with an average daily production rate of nearly four
bitcoin. Our miner refresh program has substantially improved
efficiency, achieving a weighted average of approximately 19 J/TH.
Additionally, our onsite repair teams are on track to restore 1.3
EH/s of mining equipment under warranty by year-end. Construction
of MB-5 is proceeding on schedule, with conduit installation
complete and foundation pours and structural steel assembly
underway.”
Production and Operations Update
TeraWulf’s commitment to operational excellence and
sustainability continues to drive its growth across the Company’s
bitcoin mining and HPC hosting businesses.
As of November 30, 2024, TeraWulf's operational bitcoin
mining capacity was 195 MW at the Lake Mariner facility. Upon
completing miner repairs, fleet upgrades and onboarding new miners,
TeraWulf’s self-mining hash rate is expected to reach approximately
9.7 EH/s. November’s average hash rate was 5.9 EH/s, factoring in
planned outage for electrical upgrades, demand response events and
optimization strategies to maximize profitability.
On the WULF Compute front, progress continues on large-scale HPC
hosting infrastructure at Lake Mariner. Dry cooler installation is
complete for the 20 MW CB-1 facility, which is on track for Q1 2025
completion. We remain on schedule to deliver 72.5 MW of HPC hosting
capacity by the end of Q2 2025.
