TeraWulf partners with Fluidstack for 200 MW of AI infrastructure
Google offers $1.8B in guarantees and secures 8% TeraWulf equity
Marks a major shift from Bitcoin mining to AI services

TeraWulf, a prominent Bitcoin mining firm, is stepping into the AI sector in a major way. The company has inked two long-term hosting agreements with AI cloud platform Fluidstack. These agreements span 10 years and cover more than 200 megawatts of AI infrastructure, with the total value estimated at around $3.7 billion.

This move marks a strategic shift for TeraWulf as it diversifies its operations beyond crypto mining. With rising global demand for AI computing power, the company is positioning itself to serve a fast-growing market segment.

Google’s Backing Adds Credibility and Capital

A key part of the deal is the involvement of tech giant Google. Google is backing the agreements with guarantees worth up to $1.8 billion. In exchange, Google will receive roughly 8% equity in TeraWulf, making this a powerful endorsement of the company’s shift toward AI.

This partnership not only provides financial security to Fluidstack and TeraWulf but also signals Google’s confidence in the future of decentralized and sustainable AI infrastructure.

Why It Matters for Crypto and AI Sectors

The TeraWulf–Fluidstack–Google collaboration highlights the blurring lines between the crypto and AI sectors. Mining firms like TeraWulf already have the infrastructure—powerful GPUs and massive data centers—making them ideal partners for AI workloads.

For the crypto world, it’s a sign of evolving business models. And for the AI industry, it’s a path to rapidly scaling infrastructure using existing mining assets.

This trend is likely to continue as more blockchain companies explore ways to leverage their tech for the booming AI market.

Bernstein believes that the co-packaged optics (CPO) and fiber demand driven by Nvidia's Rubin Ultra architecture will surge significantly, with the optical content per Pod rising from $1 million to $5.4 million. This will propel the size of Nvidia's optical ecosystem market to $46.8 billion by 2028 (a 91% annual increase). Although the industry faces supply bottlenecks with InP substrates, the outlook remains positive. The institution reiterates its “outperform” rating for Lumentum, Coherent, and Ciena.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
