Risk Factors 224 words changed in this paragraph; it is 35% similar to last year's version.
We are, and may in the future may be, the subject of unfavorable allegations made by short sellers. For example, in August and October of this year, short sellers published reports that contained certain allegations against us that we believe to be misleading. Any such allegations may be followed by periods of instability in the market price of our shares of common stock and negative publicity. We may be constrained in the manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable federal or state law or issues of commercial confidentiality. In addition, any related inquiry or formal investigation from a governmental organization or other regulatory body, including any inquiry from the SEC or the U.S. Department of Justice, could result in a material diversion of our management’s time and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Such a situation could be costly and time consuming and could distract our management from operating our business. SEC investigations are generally fact-finding inquiries and do not necessarily mean that the SEC has concluded that we have violated the federal securities laws or that the SEC has a negative view of the Company. Even if such allegations are ultimately proven to be groundless, allegations against us could adversely impact our business, and cause downward pressure and increased volatility in the price of our shares of common stock. In October 2024, we received an inquiry from the SEC relating to the allegations in the recent short seller reports relating to the sources of electricity used in our operations and the proportion of energy attributable to zero-carbon energy sources. We believe these allegations to be

AddedRisk Factors
Delays in lease commencement, limitations in customer backstop arrangements and the potential insufficiency of completion guarantees could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
AddedRisk Factors
Under certain circumstances, lessees may have the right to terminate applicable leases if there are significant delays in construction, subject to extension for force majeure events. We and certain affiliated entities have agreed to provide subsidiaries with funds necessary to achieve target commencement dates under applicable customer leases; however, these completion guarantees may not be sufficient. If we are unable to complete projects within anticipated cost
AddedRisk Factors
estimates, we may not have sufficient funds to provide necessary support. The failure to complete projects in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
AddedRisk Factors
Customer backstop arrangements of obligations under certain leases (for example, Google’s Backstop of Fluidstack’s obligations under the applicable Fluidstack Leases) are only effective following the commencement of the relevant lease. If one or more leases do not commence as of their respective targeted commencement dates, then the corresponding backstop may not become effective until completion of the applicable project. If completion of a data center campus is delayed beyond specified thresholds, the customer may have the right to terminate the applicable lease. Such termination event would not trigger the backstop. In addition, backstop arrangements are only triggered upon a payment or insolvency event of default under the applicable lease. There are other events of default or termination events that may result in the termination of a lease without triggering the applicable backstop. In addition, if we have a disagreement about whether a backstop has been triggered, there can be no assurance that such backstop will be honored in a timely manner or at all.
AddedRisk Factors
Our ability to successfully develop projects is impacted by the availability of, and access to, interconnection facilities and transmission systems.
AddedRisk Factors
In recent years, the time and costs required to secure and expand interconnection facilities and transmissions systems have increased, complicating project planning and creating additional contractual and financial risk for projects under construction. We may face difficulties in expanding our interconnection facilities and access to transmissions systems in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost as well as curtailment resulting from transmission facility downtime, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow.
AddedRisk Factors
Since the development, construction and operation of the Abernathy HPC Campus is subject to the terms of a joint venture agreement, TeraWulf may have less control over strategic decisions.
AddedRisk Factors
On October 27, 2025, the TeraWulf Member entered into the Abernathy Joint Venture Agreement with the Fluidstack Member. The Abernathy Joint Venture Agreement provides that, except for certain specified matters, decisions are to be made by a majority vote of the board of managers. The board of managers will initially comprise three designees of TeraWulf and two designees of the Fluidstack Member. Any significant disagreements between joint venture partners on strategic decisions or the inability of the Fluidstack Member to meet obligations to the Abernathy Joint Venture or third parties may impede TeraWulf’s ability to control aspects of the development, construction, and operation of the Abernathy HPC Campus.

AddedRisk Factors
If we engage in debt financing, the holders of any debt we issue would likely have priority over the holders of shares of our common stock in terms of order of payment preference and may require us to accept restrictive covenants. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support our strategic growth, we may be required to reduce or delay investments, sell assets, or obtain financing on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive.
AddedRisk Factors
Such breaches, whether attributable to a vulnerability in our systems or otherwise, could result in claims of liability against us, damage our reputation and materially harm our business.
AddedRisk Factors
Instability, fraud, or failures within the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem may adversely affect the price of bitcoin and our results of operations.
AddedRisk Factors
Digital asset exchanges and cryptocurrency platforms are relatively new and, in many cases, lightly regulated. Certain exchanges have filed for bankruptcy or become subject to investigation by governmental agencies for fraud or other misconduct, resulting in increased volatility and loss of confidence in digital asset markets. Bitcoin is subject to price volatility resulting from financial instability, poor business practices, fraudulent activities of participants in the broader cryptocurrency market and heightened regulatory scrutiny.
AddedMD&A
We are a vertically integrated owner, developer, and operator of digital infrastructure assets in the United States, purpose-built to support HPC workloads, including AI, machine learning, and advanced cloud applications.
AddedMD&A
The Company has undergone a deliberate strategic transition toward HPC hosting as its primary business. While TeraWulf historically operated bitcoin mining facilities and leveraged flexible compute loads to support early infrastructure development, going forward the Company’s capital allocation, development activities, and operating focus are centered on HPC data center development, long-term hosting arrangements, and infrastructure supporting AI-driven compute workloads.
AddedMD&A
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 appropriate, on-site generation, the Company delivers resilient, cost-efficient capacity to hyperscale and enterprise customers under multi-year hosting arrangements.
AddedMD&A
The Company’s 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.
AddedMD&A
Management’s execution of the Company’s strategy is focused on converting advantaged infrastructure positions into long-dated, contracted HPC capacity. This execution model emphasizes vertical integration, long-duration customer contracts supported by credit enhancement, and phased development aligned with customer deployment schedules and power availability.
AddedMD&A
A core element of this approach is infrastructure control. By retaining control over land use, interconnection rights, electrical and cooling systems, and on-site generation where appropriate, the Company is able to manage development risk, optimize capital deployment, and maintain operational oversight throughout the lifecycle of its facilities. Management believes this approach reduces execution risk relative to third-party development models and supports infrastructure-style returns.
AddedMD&A
The Company’s contracting strategy prioritizes multi-year hosting arrangements with credit-supported counterparties. These arrangements provide long-dated revenue visibility, support project-level financing, and reduce cash flow volatility as the platform scales. Credit enhancement associated with certain customer contracts has been a key factor in accelerating development timelines and enabling third-party financing.
AddedMD&A
Each campus is designed for modular, multi-phase expansion. Initial phases deliver near-term contracted capacity, while subsequent phases are developed in line with customer demand and power availability. Management believes this phased approach allows the Company to scale efficiently while maintaining capital discipline.
AddedMD&A
Consistent with this strategy, the Company has deliberately shifted capital allocation away from new bitcoin mining investments and toward HPC data center development. While legacy mining operations continue to utilize existing infrastructure, management does not intend to deploy incremental growth capital to mining activities.
AddedMD&A
On May 21, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Beowulf Electricity & Data LLC, Beowulf E&D (NY) LLC and Beowulf E&D (MD) LLC (collectively, “Beowulf E&D”). Additional detail regarding the consideration paid and contingent consideration associated with the Beowulf E&D acquisition is included in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
AddedMD&A
The acquisition materially expanded the Company’s internal capabilities across power infrastructure development, site operations, engineering, and project execution. Approximately 94 employees transitioned to the Company as part of the transaction. Management believes this acquisition strengthened operational integration and execution capability as the Company scales its HPC platform.
AddedMD&A
