TeraWulf Inc. (WULF) has announced plans to raise $3.5 billion in a financing effort to bolster its artificial intelligence operations at a new data campus in Kentucky. The company's stock rose, gaining nearly 7% in Thursday’s session, and it saw an additional 1.72% increase in pre-market trading, reaching $23.60.
Details of the Financing Package
Led by Morgan Stanley, TeraWulf's financing plan will likely incorporate leveraged loans and high-yield bonds. The company’s Chief Financial Officer, Patrick Fleury, indicated that the transaction is expected to launch by the end of this year. This strategic move marks TeraWulf’s first entry into the leveraged loan market, following successful bond offerings in previous years.
Earlier in the year, TeraWulf secured a $250 million revolving credit line aimed at supporting operational costs. In December 2025, the company raised $1.3 billion through a debt offering and completed another large transaction of $3.2 billion in October 2025.
Impact of Anthropic's Lease
The new funding will support TeraWulf's Justified Data campus in Hawesville, which is designed to deliver power and necessary infrastructure for demanding AI workloads. The recent 20-year lease agreement with Anthropic has the potential to generate approximately $19 billion in revenue over the lease’s lifespan, with options for two additional five-year extensions. Initial operations at the data center are projected to begin in the latter half of 2027, with the full facility expected to be operational by early 2028.
TeraWulf is not only focusing on Bitcoin mining but also expanding its capabilities to meet the surging demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure. Market analysts have raised concerns about stock sales by insiders, prompting discussions regarding shareholder alignment and future governance.
