TeraWulf Inc. today announced a 20-year lease agreement with Anthropic at its Justified Data campus in Hawesville, Kentucky. The lease is projected to generate roughly $19 billion in contracted revenue over the initial term.
Separately, TeraWulf has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 50.1% ownership interest in the Abernathy Joint Venture to an investor group led by its joint venture partner, Fluidstack. The transaction monetizes TeraWulf’s approximately $450 million investment at a premium to invested capital, unlocking significant capital for redeployment into wholly owned AI infrastructure opportunities.
Paul Prager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TeraWulf, commented: “When we announced the Justified Data campus acquisition in February, we told investors that we expected to secure a major customer commitment by around the end of the second quarter of 2026. The timing of today’s announcement reflects the completion of final documentation and customary transaction processes, and we are proud to announce this landmark partnership with Anthropic.”
“The Anthropic lease validates our strategy and establishes a long-duration revenue stream with one of the world’s leading AI companies. The lease provides approximately $19 billion of contracted lease revenue over its initial term, creates a framework for future expansion, and demonstrates the value of our ability to source power, develop infrastructure, and secure long-term customer commitments.”
“At the same time, the sale of our ownership interest in Abernathy to a group led by Fluidstack crystallizes the value created through that investment and generates significant capital for redeployment into infrastructure platforms where we maintain direct ownership, customer relationships, and operational control.”
“Together, these transactions position TeraWulf for its next phase of growth. Our strategy is centered on owning and operating critical infrastructure assets, maintaining direct relationships with our customers, and controlling the long-term evolution of our campuses. We believe this model provides the greatest opportunity to generate durable cash flows and attractive long-term returns for shareholders.”
The data center, situated roughly an hour southwest of Louisville, is planned to have an approximate capacity of 400 megawatts, with initial power delivery anticipated in the second half of 2027.
TeraWulf, a cryptocurrency mining firm, has seen its stock increase by over 80% this year.
