Terawulf (WULF) Jumps 78.3% on Google Backing

We recently published . Terawulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF) is one of the last week's top performers. Terawulf soared by 78.3 percent week-on-week as investors loaded up positions after earning financial backing from Google for the delivery of critical IT load to a premier AI cloud platform. In a statement on Thursday, Terawulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF) said it entered into an agreement with Fluidstack for the delivery of 200 MW of critical IT load at its Lake Mariner data center campus in Western New York. The agreements represent approximately $3.7 billion in contracted revenue over the initial 10-year term, with an option for two five-year extensions, which, if exercised, would bring the total contract revenue to $8.7 billion. According to Terawulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF), it received a $1.8-billion fund backing from Google to support project-related debt financing for the Fluidstack project, in exchange for warrants covering 41 million WULF common shares or 8 percent pro-forma equity. The first phase of deployment will involve 40 MW of critical IT load and is expected to come online in the first half of 2026, with the remaining 160 MW targeted for completion by year-end.

(NASDAQ:WULF) announced its intention to access the capital market, but did not elaborate on whether in the form of debt or share sale.
