Management Commentary
“In December, we finalized data center lease
agreements totaling over 70 MW of our infrastructure, representing
a potential revenue opportunity exceeding $1 billion over the
initial 10-year terms," said Paul Prager, TeraWulf’s Chief
Executive Officer. "These agreements are a significant milestone
for TeraWulf, not only representing our entry into HPC hosting but
also demonstrating the immense value of our sustainable and
scalable digital infrastructure.”
Prager added, “We are in active discussions with
additional tenants to utilize the remaining 178 MW of near-term HPC
hosting capacity at Lake Mariner, including our inaugural partner,
Core42. Core42 retains a time-limited option for an additional 135
MW of capacity to be delivered in early 2026, further emphasizing
the growing demand for our low-cost, predominantly zero-carbon
infrastructure. In parallel, we are evaluating strategic site
acquisition opportunities to extend our footprint beyond the 750 MW
potential at Lake Mariner, solidifying our leadership in the next
generation of digital infrastructure.”
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 December 31, 2024, TeraWulf's
operational bitcoin mining capacity was 195 MW with an installed
self-mining hash rate of approximately 9.7 EH/s. December’s average
hash rate was 8.4 EH/s, reflecting performance tuning to optimize
margins in a higher winter power price environment. Construction of
miner building 5 (MB-5, 50 MW) is proceeding on schedule, with
foundation pours completed and building framing underway, with
target completion in mid Q1 2025.
On the WULF Compute front, under the recently
announced data center lease agreements, TeraWulf will deliver more
than 70 MW of turn-key data center infrastructure to host Core42’s
HPC operations at the Lake Mariner facility in Upstate New York.
The infrastructure will include the WULF Den (2.5 MW), CB-1 (20
MW), and CB-2 (50 MW), which have all been fully funded.

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 December 31, 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.4 Nameplate miner efficiency excludes auxiliary
load.
