Thesis Summary

TeraWulf has established meaningful AI-infrastructure traction: 102 MW was revenue-generating at Lake Mariner in early July 2026, another 336 MW was under construction, and Anthropic signed a 20-year lease for approximately 401 MW at Justified. Kentucky's approval of up to 482 MW of electric service reduces a major development contingency. These strengths are balanced by substantial construction, financing and delivery risk, including disclosed development costs of $8-10 million per critical IT MW at WULF Compute and approximately $10-12 million per critical IT MW at Justified.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$25.0023%

Construction costs exceed guidance, contracted capacity is delivered late, or annual customer contracting falls below 250 MW. Given the multi-billion-dollar development requirements at Justified and the long lead time before lease commencement, material delays could increase financing needs and postpone the conversion of contracted demand into revenue.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$36.6458%
Matches the consensus mean

Lake Mariner capacity enters service broadly within the announced schedule, while Justified advances toward phased 2027-2028 delivery with manageable delays or cost pressure. Contracting remains positive but uneven.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$62.5019%

Lake Mariner's additional 336 MW is delivered within announced cost and schedule parameters, the full 401 MW Anthropic campus enters service by early 2028, and annual contracting reaches or exceeds management's 250-500 MW objective. Successful execution would expand recurring, long-duration AI-infrastructure revenue and validate TeraWulf's ability to replicate its power-backed development model.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Merits
  • Lake Mariner had 102 MW of revenue-generating critical IT capacity, with another 336 MW under construction as of the August 2026 update.
  • Anthropic signed a 20-year lease covering approximately 401 MW of critical IT capacity and approximately $19 billion of contracted revenue over the initial term.
  • Kentucky regulators approved an electric-service agreement supporting up to 482 MW at Justified, addressing a key power prerequisite for the campus.

Key Investment Risks
  • The investment case depends on completing several large data-center projects on schedule and within disclosed cost guidance.
  • Justified's approximately $10-12 million development cost per critical IT MW implies a multi-billion-dollar capital program before the campus reaches full delivery.
  • Failure to contract at least 250 MW of incremental critical IT capacity annually would indicate weaker demand conversion than management's stated objective.
