About TERAWULF INC.
Source: Item 1 (Business) from the 10-K filed February 27, 2026. Description as filed by the company with the SEC.
ITEM 1. Business
Overview
We are a vertically integrated owner, developer, and operator of large-scale digital infrastructure in the United States, purpose-built to support high-performance computing (“HPC”) workloads, including artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning, and advanced cloud applications.
Our strategy is grounded in controlling infrastructure at utility scale and pairing compute‑optimized facilities with reliable, long‑duration power resources. By controlling land use through ownership or long-term ground leases, together with interconnection rights, electrical and cooling infrastructure, and, where applicable, on-site generation, we deliver resilient, cost-efficient capacity to hyperscale and enterprise customers through long-term hosting arrangements. This infrastructure-first approach enables TeraWulf to serve Tier-1 counterparties while maintaining operational control, development flexibility, and disciplined capital allocation.
Our platform is differentiated by long-term control of utility-scale infrastructure, deep in-house power and grid expertise, and a scalable development model supported by long-term, credit-enhanced customer contracts.
HPC Platform and Development Pipeline
Our contracted HPC platform currently consists of two primary campuses:
•Lake Mariner Data Campus (the “Lake Mariner Data Campus”), located in Barker, New York within the single-state New York Independent System Operator (“NYISO”) market; and
•Abernathy HPC Campus (the “Abernathy HPC Campus”), located in Abernathy, Texas, within the Southwest Power Pool (SPP).
Read full description ↓
Both campuses have been engineered for phased, large‑scale deployments of liquid‑cooled, hyperscale compute and are supported by long‑term contractual arrangements with credit‑enhanced counterparties. Together, these campuses have contracted 522 MW of critical IT load with long‑dated revenue visibility.
In addition, the Company holds a long‑term ground lease in Lansing, New York (the “Cayuga Site”), which, upon completion of permitting and site development, has the potential to support up to 400 MW of gross capacity, representing approximately 320 MW of contractual critical IT load. The Cayuga Site provides a third anchor location with existing interconnection and supporting infrastructure and represents a key component of the Company’s forward development pipeline.
Through a combination of contracted capacity and future expansion opportunities, TeraWulf has established a multi‑regional HPC platform designed to support sustained growth. The Company’s development model targets the contraction of approximately 250 MW to 500 MW of new critical IT HPC capacity annually, aligned with customer demand, power availability, and regional grid conditions.
Business Strategy
TeraWulf’s business strategy is focused on the development, ownership, and operation of large‑scale, power‑advantaged digital infrastructure serving hyperscale and enterprise HPC workloads. Our approach is differentiated by:
•Infrastructure Control and Vertical Integration – We retain majority ownership and direct operational control over core infrastructure assets, including land positions (through ownership or long‑term ground leases), interconnection rights, electrical systems, cooling infrastructure, and, where applicable, on‑site generation. This vertical integration enables disciplined execution, governance oversight, and infrastructure‑style returns.

Table of Contents
•Long‑Term, Credit‑Enhanced Contracting – Our HPC arrangements are structured as long‑term data center leases, typically with base terms ranging from 10 to 25 years, contractual escalators, and renewal and contraction options. Certain projects benefit from investment‑grade credit support, materially strengthening the risk profile and durability of contracted revenues.
•Scalable, Multi‑Phase Development – Each campus is designed for modular expansion. Initial phases deliver near‑term contracted capacity, while subsequent phases are developed in line with customer deployment schedules and power availability. This phased approach allows us to efficiently convert advantaged infrastructure positions into incremental contracted capacity over time.
Our strategy is designed to produce durable, infrastructure‑like cash flows while preserving flexibility to scale alongside accelerating demand for compute.
Evolution of Our Business and Capital Allocation
TeraWulf has undergone a deliberate strategic transition toward HPC hosting as its primary business. While the Company operates legacy bitcoin mining facilities and leverages this flexible compute load to support early HPC infrastructure development, going forward capital allocation will be focused on HPC data center development, long-term hosting arrangements, and infrastructure supporting AI-driven compute workloads.
While the Company currently derives the majority of its revenue from bitcoin mining, HPC hosting is now the Company’s primary growth driver and operating focus.
Power Strategy and Responsible Design
TeraWulf’s power strategy emphasizes reliability, efficiency, and responsible integration with regional electric grids. Our campuses are designed to operate with long-duration, cost-competitive power resources that support both customer uptime requirements and broader grid stability.
The Company’s development and operations team brings deep experience in power generation, transmission, interconnection, and large-scale energy infrastructure, which informs site selection, facility design, and day-to-day operations. This expertise enables TeraWulf to evaluate and develop complex, power-intensive sites efficiently and to structure infrastructure solutions that support high-density, mission-critical compute. We believe this power and infrastructure experience provides meaningful differentiation relative to many data center developers that do not have comparable in-house energy expertise.
As part of this strategy, the Company expects to acquire and develop sites that may include on-site generation, battery storage, and other dispatchable resources, primarily to enhance reliability for mission-critical compute and to support grid operations where appropriate. These assets are intended to improve operational resilience, enable participation in ancillary services, and reduce congestion and volatility on regional power systems. Rather than relying on a singular energy narrative, TeraWulf focuses on responsible facility design, efficient power utilization, and long-term infrastructure stewardship.
Environmental and Power Considerations
TeraWulf’s approach to environmental and energy considerations is grounded in responsible infrastructure design, operational efficiency, and reliable integration with regional electric grids. The Company develops and operates digital infrastructure on existing industrial and energy sites, prioritizing reuse of legacy assets and minimizing incremental land disturbance.
Our data center campuses are engineered to support high-density, mission-critical compute while emphasizing efficient power utilization, advanced cooling architectures, and resilient electrical design. These facilities are designed to operate with a range of long-duration power resources, including grid-supplied electricity and, where appropriate, on-site generation.
The Company’s environmental focus is centered on disciplined development, efficient operations, and long-term infrastructure stewardship rather than reliance on any single energy source or environmental attribute.
