US stock futures inch lower after Wall St marks fresh records on tech gains
EASTON, Md. - AI cloud platform Fluidstack has exercised its option to expand its presence at TeraWulf Inc.’s (NASDAQ:WULF) Lake Mariner data center campus in Western New York, adding 160 megawatts of critical IT load through a new purpose-built facility designated as CB-5. TeraWulf, currently valued at $3.52 billion, has seen its stock surge 66% in the past week alone, reflecting strong market confidence in its expansion strategy.
The expansion, announced Monday, increases Fluidstack’s total contracted capacity at the site to approximately 360 MW. Operations at the new facility are expected to begin in the second half of 2026, according to a company press release. With the stock trading near its 52-week high of $9.30, InvestingPro analysis suggests the company is currently trading above its calculated Fair Value, though analysts maintain positive growth expectations with a 44% revenue increase forecast for the current year.
Google will provide an additional $1.4 billion backstop to support project-related debt financing, bringing its total backstop commitment to approximately $3.2 billion. In connection with the deal, Google will receive warrants to acquire 32.5 million shares of TeraWulf common stock, increasing its potential ownership stake to approximately 14%.
The CB-5 lease maintains the same economic terms as Fluidstack’s initial leases for the CB-3 and CB-4 facilities at the campus. TeraWulf stated that the expansion reinforces Lake Mariner’s position as one of the largest high-performance computing campuses in the United States.
With the addition of CB-5, TeraWulf’s contracted revenue reaches $6.7 billion, with potential to increase to $16 billion if lease extensions are exercised. The company noted that discussions with Fluidstack regarding additional capacity expansions are ongoing. Want deeper insights?
