NEW YORK, Jan 25, 2026, 07:43 EST — Market closed
- TeraWulf shares ended Friday 9.5% higher, closing at $14.12 after fluctuating between $12.27 and $14.18 throughout the session
- Bitcoin slipped roughly 0.9% to about $88,587, a crucial barometer for sentiment around crypto-linked miners
- A Federal Reserve rate decision and press conference this week could shake up risk appetite
TeraWulf Inc shares closed Friday 9.5% higher at $14.12, boosted by heavy trading volume for the bitcoin miner and data-center operator. The stock fluctuated between $12.27 and $14.18 during the session. 1
That shift is key as Monday approaches, since WULF’s trading has veered away from steady and more toward a risk toggle — partly a crypto proxy, partly an “AI data center” play. When cash flows back into high-beta sectors, miners owning power and real estate usually ride the wave.
Bitcoin, which sets the tone for much of the group’s daily action, slipped around 0.9% to about $88,587.
Friday’s surge in TeraWulf shares came without any fresh company news. The latest quarterly report on file is from Nov. 10, 2025, while the newest current report on its investor website dates to Dec. 29, 2025. 2
Investors have focused on the company’s move beyond just mining. In December, TeraWulf and Fluidstack announced they secured project-level financing for a 168-megawatt high-performance computing joint venture in Texas. The facility is still on track to be commissioned in the second half of 2026. “This financing represents another important step in scaling a platform that was designed from the outset to grow,” CEO Paul Prager said in the release. 3
The implications extend beyond TeraWulf. Shares of Riot Platforms jumped earlier this month following the announcement of a 10-year, 25-megawatt data-center lease with Advanced Micro Devices, as miners seek steadier compute revenue streams. 4
Traders are shifting focus from individual companies to the bigger picture: the Federal Reserve’s meeting on Jan. 27-28. The policy decision drops Wednesday at 2:00 p.m., followed by Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference at 2:30 p.m. 5
The setup works both ways. If bitcoin drops suddenly or interest rates climb, that high-beta edge from Friday can flip into a swift selloff. Execution risk looms too: scaling up big data centers demands cash, time, and clients—and the market punishes any slip-ups fast.
TeraWulf’s IR calendar shows no scheduled events, and the company hasn’t announced when it will report next. Nasdaq’s earnings page currently estimates the date as Feb. 27. The real driver for WULF and its peers comes Wednesday, with the Fed’s upcoming decision. 6
