TeraWulf Secures $3.7 Billion, 10-Year AI Infrastructure Deal With Fluidstack; Google Takes 8% Stake
TeraWulf (NASDAQ:WULF) has entered into two 10-year high-performance computing (HPC) colocation agreements with Fluidstack, an AI cloud platform. Under the agreements, TeraWulf will deliver more than 200 MW of critical IT load (representing 250 MW of gross capacity) at its Lake Mariner data center campus in Western New York. The agreements amount to approximately $3.7 billion in contracted revenue over the initial term, with the potential to reach $8.7 billion if both five-year extension options are exercised.
To support the buildout, Google will backstop $1.8 billion of Fluidstack's lease obligations and receive warrants for approximately 41 million shares of TeraWulf, equating to an 8% pro forma equity stake. The rapid deployment schedule targets about 40 MW of capacity online by the first half of 2026, with full 200 MW capacity expected by the end of 2026. The Lake Mariner facility is purpose-built for liquid-cooled AI workloads and features dual 345 kV transmission lines, closed-loop water cooling, and ultra-low-latency fiber connectivity. TeraWulf also stated plans to access capital markets to fund part of the project.
