Outputs

  1. TeraWulf reported $76.2 million in Q3 revenue on November 6, 2026, with HPC leases at roughly 83% ($63.0 million).

  2. Digital asset revenue was $13.2 million, mostly from Bitcoin mining at Lake Mariner.

  3. Net income of ~$709.9 million was driven largely by non-cash adjustments.

  4. A 20-year, ~401 MW lease at the Justified Data Campus projects ~$19 billion in contracted revenue.

  5. Google provided a credit backstop announced November 4, 2026, and Muskie Data Campus contracted power expanded to 1 GW.

TeraWulf reported $76.2 million in third-quarter revenue on November 6, 2026, with high-performance computing leases contributing roughly 83% of total sales — a mix that confirms the Nasdaq-listed operator (WULF) now earns the clear majority of its money from AI-era infrastructure rather than Bitcoin mining.

The numbers split cleanly. HPC lease revenue came to approximately $63.0 million. Digital asset revenue, mostly from Bitcoin mining at the Lake Mariner facility, contributed $13.2 million — barely a fifth of the total.

A net income figure that needs translation

The bottom line looks outsized: net income reached approximately $709.9 million, nearly nine times the revenue that generated it. The gap stems largely from non-cash accounting adjustments — entries that move reported profit without moving actual cash. For practitioners, the operating signal sits in the revenue mix and the contracted capacity pipeline, not in the headline profit figure.

TeraWulf's market capitalization stood at approximately $5.8 billion in early November 2026.

What does the guidance actually commit to?

The fiscal 2026 guidance TeraWulf reaffirmed is denominated in megawatts, not dollars. The company is targeting 250 to 500 MW of additional critical IT capacity each year. Three projects underpin that target:

  • Lake Mariner: 102 MW operational today, with another 336 MW under construction across two buildings, CB-4 and CB-5.
  • Justified Data Campus: a 20-year lease covering roughly 401 MW, with projections indicating approximately $19 billion in contracted revenue over the lease's life.
  • Muskie Data Campus: contracted power expanded to 1 GW under an amended agreement with Kentucky Power.

To put the $19 billion figure in context, it equals roughly $950 million per year across the two-decade term — about twelve times the company's current quarterly revenue base.

The financing and construction stack

Two recent agreements support the Justified Data Campus buildout. On November 4, 2026, TeraWulf announced a credit backstop from Google. The company has also signed a definitive engineering, procurement and construction agreement with Fluor. Together, the two moves address the twin constraints that most often stall HPC conversions: committed financing and a locked-in construction contractor.

For competitors evaluating the same pivot from Bitcoin mining to AI hosting, the lesson in TeraWulf's quarter is structural. Digital asset revenue did not collapse — it still delivered $13.2 million — but HPC leases now set the pace of growth, the contracted revenue profile, and the terms on which counterparties like Google are willing to extend credit support.

The near-term markers to watch are execution checkpoints, not earnings dates: completion of the CB-4 and CB-5 buildings at Lake Mariner, which would add 336 MW to the operational base, and progress against the annual 250–500 MW capacity target that management has now reaffirmed.
