Insights

TeraWulf's Q1 shows revenue decline and higher costs post-halving, but strategic expansion into HPC hosting signals diversification despite challenging quarter.

TeraWulf's Q1 2025 results present a challenging quarter for their core bitcoin mining operation while highlighting their strategic pivot toward high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. Revenue dropped 19% year-over-year to $34.4 million, while cost of revenue surged 70% to $24.6 million, significantly deteriorating their margins from 34.0% to 71.4%.

The negative performance largely stems from three expected factors: the Bitcoin halving event of April 2024 (which cut mining rewards in half), increased network difficulty, and elevated power costs from extreme weather in New York. This trifecta raised their power cost per bitcoin mined dramatically from $15,501 to $66,084 - an unsustainable 326% increase.

The figures show the harsh economic realities of bitcoin mining post-halving, with TeraWulf mining only 372 bitcoin compared to 1,051 in Q1 2024 - a 64.6% reduction despite expanding their total hashrate capacity by 52.5% to 12.2 EH/s. This indicates they're running more equipment to produce fewer bitcoins, though the higher bitcoin price ($92,600 vs $53,750) partially offset this impact.

The company's pivot to HPC hosting represents a rational diversification strategy. With $219.6 million in cash and bitcoin, they appear well-capitalized to execute their plan to deliver 72.5 MW to Core42 this year and target 200-250 MW of HPC capacity by end-2026. This transition leverages their existing power infrastructure for a potentially more stable revenue stream through hosting contracts rather than direct bitcoin exposure.

The negative Adjusted EBITDA of $(4.7) million versus $32.0 million a year ago underscores the financial pressure they're under, even as they repurchased $33 million in common stock. The authorization of both a new $200 million ATM offering and $200 million share repurchase program suggests they're keeping all capital structure options open as they navigate this transition period.

TeraWulf's strategic pivot toward high-performance computing (HPC) represents a compelling evolution of their business model. The buildout of dedicated HPC data halls for Core42's 72.5 MW deployment marks their initial foray into this high-growth market, with ambitious plans to scale to 200-250 MW by year-end 2026.

This transition leverages several distinct advantages in TeraWulf's infrastructure profile. Their vertically integrated energy platform provides a competitive edge in the power-intensive HPC sector, particularly as AI workloads drive demand for high-density computing environments. The company's existing power distribution infrastructure, originally built for cryptocurrency mining, can be efficiently repurposed for HPC with appropriate cooling and rack configuration adjustments.

Financially, this pivot offers potential stabilization via contractual hosting revenue that should begin materializing in Q2 2025. Unlike the volatile economics of cryptocurrency mining — starkly illustrated by their power cost per bitcoin increasing 326% year-over-year — HPC hosting typically provides predictable, contracted revenue streams based on power delivery rather than digital asset values.

The timing of this transition appears strategically sound, coinciding with both the post-halving compression in mining economics and the surge in AI computing infrastructure demand. By targeting high-density computing customers, TeraWulf is positioning itself in a higher-margin segment of the data center market where power availability and sustainable energy sources command premium pricing.

With $219.6 million in liquidity and initiated financing processes for further expansion, the company has the capital resources to execute this transition while maintaining operational flexibility. Their dual focus on both mining operations and HPC infrastructure during this transition period allows them to optimize capital allocation based on market conditions while establishing a more diversified and resilient revenue model for future growth.

Commenced buildout of dedicated HPC data halls and remain on track to deliver 72.5 MW of gross HPC hosting infrastructure to Core42 in 2025.

Initiated process to secure additional HPC customers; targeting 200–250 MW operational by year-end 2026.

Management Commentary

“TeraWulf continues to advance its strategy of developing scalable, sustainable infrastructure for both Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing. As outlined during our fourth quarter 2024 earnings call, our key priorities for 2025 include energizing Miner Building 5 and deploying our upgraded mining fleet, delivering Core42’s contracted 72.5 MW of HPC capacity on schedule, securing financing for our initial HPC data center buildout, and signing additional customers to reach between 200 and 250 megawatts of contracted HPC capacity by the end of 2026,” said Paul Prager, Chief Executive Officer of TeraWulf.

“We’ve made meaningful progress on each of these fronts. In late Q1 and early Q2, we energized Miner Building 5, bringing total capacity at Lake Mariner to 245 MW. We remain on track to deliver the Core42 deployment this year and have initiated the financing process to support our next phase of HPC growth.”

Prager added, “We continue to see robust medium- and long-term demand for high-density, energy-efficient digital infrastructure. In this environment, TeraWulf’s vertically integrated energy platform provides a distinct competitive advantage. We are focused on building a high-value, durable business that is designed to scale with demand and deliver long-term returns.”

Patrick Fleury, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “With $219.6 million in cash and bitcoin holdings at quarter-end, we are well-capitalized to fund our near-term growth. HPC hosting revenue is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2025 as our data halls come online. We also returned $33 million to shareholders during the quarter through share repurchases, reflecting our continued commitment to disciplined capital allocation.”

First Quarter 2025 GAAP Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter decreased 19% year-over-year to $34.4 million, reflecting anticipated headwinds from the April 2024 halving, increased network difficulty, and elevated power prices, partially offset by a higher average bitcoin price and expanded mining capacity.

Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased 70%  year-over-year to $24.6 million, driven by greater infrastructure utilization and temporary increases in power costs due to extreme winter weather in Upstate New York.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, the Company held $219.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and bitcoin. Total outstanding debt was approximately $500.0 million, consisting of the Company's 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2030. As of May 7, 2025, TeraWulf had 384,584,010 shares of common stock outstanding.

As part of the Company's regular review of its capital management activities, our Board of Directors recently approved:

Non-GAAP Measure

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines non-GAAP “Adjusted EBITDA” as net loss adjusted for: (i) impacts of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (ii) stock-based compensation expense and amortization of right-of-use asset, which are non-cash items that the Company believes are not reflective of its general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment, and the resulting expenses could vary significantly in comparison to other companies; (iii) equity in net income of investee, net of tax, related to Nautilus; (iv) interest income which management believes is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating activities; and (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, which is not reflective of the Company's general business performance. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA also included the impact of distributions from investee received in bitcoin related to a return on the Nautilus investment, which management believes, in conjunction with excluding the impact of equity in net income of investee, net of tax, is reflective of assets available for the Company’s use in its ongoing operations as a result of its investment in Nautilus.

Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company's core business operating results and those of other companies, and provides the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management's internal use of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenues). For example, the Company expects that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants. Additionally, management does not consider any of the excluded items to be expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenue.

The Company's Adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents Adjusted EBITDA, the Company only utilizes that measure supplementally and does not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by U.S. GAAP financial results. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table is a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure (i.e., net loss) for the periods indicated (in thousands):

5 While nameplate inventory for the Lake Mariner Facility was 12.2 EH/s and 8.0 EH/s as of Q1 2025 and Q1 2024, respectively, actual monthly hash rate performance depends on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) performance tuning to increase efficiency and maximize margin, scheduled outages (scopes to improve reliability or performance), unscheduled outages, curtailment due to participation in various cash generating demand response programs, derate of ASICS due to adverse weather and ASIC maintenance and repair. Note the 8.0 EH/s in the table in Q1 2024 is nameplate capacity and average operating hashrate was 6.8 EH/s.
