TeraWulf’s (WULF - Free Report) prospects are expected to benefit from an expanding clientele. This vertically integrated owner and operator of next-generation digital infrastructure, purpose-built to support bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, inked a deal with Fluidstack, a premier AI cloud platform that builds and operates HPC clusters. The deal represents roughly $6.7 billion in contracted revenues, with total contract revenues expected to hit $16 billion.

As per the deal, TeraWulf will deliver more than 360 MW of critical IT load at its Lake Mariner data center campus in Western New York. The Lake Mariner facility can expand up to 500 MW in the near term and up to 750 MW with targeted transmission upgrades. The deal is supported by Alphabet, which is backing Fluidstack’s lease obligations. Alphabet is also providing $3.2 billion of credit support, and its total pro forma equity ownership in TeraWulf increases to approximately 14%.

TeraWulf is on track to deliver 72.5 MW of HPC colocation capacity under its data center lease agreements with Core42 Holding for GPU compute workloads. The WULF Den and CB-1 leases with Core42 are expected to start generating revenues in the third quarter of 2025.

WULF Faces Tough Competition

TeraWulf faces stiff competition from the likes of IREN Limited (IREN - Free Report) and Applied Digital (APLD - Free Report) in the bitcoin mining and HPC markets.

IREN Limited has doubled its AI cloud capacity to 23k GPUs through the purchase of an additional 12.4k GPUs for roughly $674 million. This comprises 1.9k NVIDIA H100s and H200s, 19.1k NVIDIA B200s and B300s, 1.2k NVIDIA GB300s and 1.1k AMD MI350Xs. IREN now expects to achieve $500 million in AI Cloud annualized run-rate revenue (ARR) by the first quarter of fiscal 2026. IREN is on track to achieve $1.25 billion in annualized revenues, with roughly $1 billion coming from bitcoin mining, and $200-$250 million from AI Cloud (by December 2025). IREN expects to scale from 1.9k to 10.9k GPUs in the coming months.

Applied Digital is benefiting from robust demand for data center infrastructure, and the growing focus on energy efficiency is a noteworthy development in the data center industry. Strong spending by hyperscalers, which is expected to exceed $350 billion in 2025, bodes well for APLD. Applied Digital’s Data Center Hosting business provides energized infrastructure services to crypto mining customers. The company currently operates sites in Jamestown and Ellendale, ND, with a total hosting capacity of approximately 286 megawatts (MWs).
