TeraWulf Director Sells Shares After Major Anthropic Deal
On August 31, TeraWulf director Walter Carter sold $1.98 million worth of shares in the company following its announcement of a significant data-center lease with Anthropic valued at approximately $19 billion over 20 years. The deal represents a major shift for TeraWulf from bitcoin mining to high-performance computing (HPC), which accounted for 71% of Q2 revenue. TeraWulf reported $44.8 million in second-quarter revenue, with HPC contributing the majority. While the company has substantial contracted megawatts and potential future revenue growth up to $33 billion through extension options, it faces challenges including large capital expenditures, net debt of about $2.7 billion, and risks from construction delays or technology changes. Despite Carter's sale, institutional investors increased their exposure in Q2 with 88 hedge funds holding shares compared to 68 the previous quarter. Short interest remains high at 25.54% of float as skepticism persists.
