Pressure isn’t limited to bitcoin. Bitcoin traded near $63,030 on Sunday, but TeraWulf stayed below all its closes since May 18. WULF is back in its spring range, away from the higher levels it hit in late June when investors chased its power and high-performance computing pitch.

Pressure on AI infrastructure stocks picked up last week after Reuters said Meta Platforms Inc is starting a cloud business to sell extra AI computing power. CoreWeave Inc dropped 10.8%, and Nebius Group NV lost 12.4% that day as investors worried about more supply and the risk that Meta could cut back on buying from outside firms.

“Adding Meta’s capacity will probably affect neoclouds more than the big hyperscalers,” Gil Luria, managing director at D.A. Davidson, told Reuters. “CoreWeave and Nebius depend on Meta for growth, but Meta might not need them now.” Reuters

TeraWulf isn’t trading like just another bitcoin miner anymore. High-performance computing lease revenue came in at $21.0 million in the first quarter, making up roughly 62% of the company’s total revenue. Digital asset revenue fell to $13.0 million from $34.4 million a year ago.

TeraWulf Q1 2026 itemAmountInvestor read-through
Total revenue$34.0 mlnPretty much flat from $34.4 mln last year
HPC lease revenue$21.0 mlnMakes up about 62% of overall revenue
Digital asset revenue$13.0 mlnFell from $34.4 mln last year
Cash and restricted cash at quarter-end$3.09 blnSupports expansion, though cash dropped from the start of the quarter
Net loss attributable to TeraWulf$427.6 mlnLoss worked out to $1.01 a share

TeraWulf said it finished March holding $3.09 billion in cash and restricted cash. Net loss attributable to TeraWulf was $427.6 million, or $1.01 per share.

TeraWulf CEO Paul Prager said in May the company had “60 megawatts of energized critical IT capacity for Core42” at Lake Mariner and is building for its next tenant, Fluidstack. CFO Patrick Fleury said the business should rely more on “recurring, contracted revenue” as it grows. TeraWulf Inc.

Kentucky is the long-term play here. TeraWulf on May 26 said it bought the Muskie Data Campus in eastern Kentucky, aiming for the site to handle more than 1 gigawatt eventually. Plans call for 500 megawatts to start in the back half of 2028 and the next 500 megawatts to go live in the second half of 2030. “The defining constraint in this market is no longer computing hardware — it is power, transmission infrastructure, and execution certainty,” Prager said. TeraWulf Inc.

TeraWulf’s investor-relations page didn’t have any new company announcements over the holiday break. The most recent posted press release is from May 26 about the Muskie acquisition. The latest current report from the company is a June 10 8-K detailing annual meeting voting results.

WULF opens the week still holding above Thursday’s low at $20.60, with the stock at $21.26 in after-hours on July 2. If it drops under that level, shares would be back to the zone seen before the Kentucky rally kicked off in late May.
