WULF Stock Drops Despite Higher HPC Revenue

TeraWulf reported a stronger revenue mix as its data center business gained traction. The company generated $34.0 million in first-quarter revenue, including $21.0 million from HPC lease income. This shift reduced its reliance on bitcoin mining and increased recurring contract-based revenue.

The stock still faced pressure after the update. WULF closed at $24.02, down 6.68%, before falling another 3.22% in pre-market trading. The chart showed a sharp early drop from above $25.00, which kept sellers active.

TeraWulf ended the quarter with about $3.1 billion in cash and restricted cash. This liquidity supports its data center buildout and power-backed expansion plans. Moreover, the company secured a revolving credit facility of up to $250 million.

Lake Mariner Expansion Supports Data Center Shift

TeraWulf continued to expand Lake Mariner during the first quarter. The site had 60 MW of operational critical IT capacity for Core42 by March 31, 2026. This capacity already generated lease revenue during the quarter.

The company also advanced CB-3 construction at Lake Mariner. Energization remains aligned with customer hardware deployment, while CB-4 and CB-5 remain scheduled for 2026. TeraWulf continues to coordinate with Fluidstack and Google on infrastructure delivery.

The company is also repurposing parts of its bitcoin mining footprint for HPC workloads. This strategy supports higher-value data center demand and longer contract terms. Besides, the shift gives TeraWulf a clearer path toward stable infrastructure revenue.

TeraWulf Builds Power-Backed Growth Pipeline

TeraWulf expanded its development platform through the Hawesville, Kentucky acquisition. The site offers immediate access to 480 MW of grid-connected power. It also includes more than 250 buildable acres with room for future expansion.

The company is also developing Lake Hawkeye in Lansing, New York. Phase I includes about 150 MW of power availability, with Phase II expanding capacity to 300 MW. Chesapeake Data in Maryland could support up to 1 GW after approvals.

TeraWulf is positioning its platform around access to power, which remains a key industry constraint. The company aims to grow through grid-connected capacity, on-site generation, and utility partnerships. Consequently, its large cash position supports its long-term data center strategy.
