On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/core-scientific-lost-56-on-bitcoin-mining-but-80m-in-profit-from-its-pivot-to-ai-hosting\/\">HPC leasing<\/a> generated $31.9 million, lifting total quarterly revenue to $44.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>This means that the new business softened the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/zero-mining-revenue-98-cash-collapse-and-2m-mysterious-shares-set-the-stage-for-miners-7-billion-share-survival-play\/\">mining collapse<\/a> but did not fully replace it, leaving overall sales about 6% lower than a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the reversal reflects how rapidly the company has redirected its power and infrastructure toward <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/from-crypto-treasury-to-ai-data-centers-inside-the-aggressive-4375-eth-selloff-that-just-hit-a-massive-collateral-wall\/\">data centers built for artificial intelligence workloads.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TeraWulf still operates Bitcoin-mining infrastructure at its Lake Mariner campus in New York, although portions are being repurposed for contracted HPC development. That shift has reduced mining to a secondary business as long-term data-center leases become the company\u2019s principal revenue source.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Financial Officer Patrick Fleury described the quarter as another step in the \u201ctransformation of our financial profile,\u201d pointing to HPC\u2019s 71% revenue share and stronger credit support behind the company\u2019s leases.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-552543\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-1f3e3bbb-6bb5-4225-90e1-7826e4294ee3.png\" alt=\"TeraWulf\u2019s mining revenue fell 73% as HPC leases reached 71% of sales\" width=\"721\" height=\"1172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-1f3e3bbb-6bb5-4225-90e1-7826e4294ee3.png 984w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-1f3e3bbb-6bb5-4225-90e1-7826e4294ee3-185x300.png 185w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-1f3e3bbb-6bb5-4225-90e1-7826e4294ee3-630x1024.png 630w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-1f3e3bbb-6bb5-4225-90e1-7826e4294ee3-768x1248.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-1f3e3bbb-6bb5-4225-90e1-7826e4294ee3-945x1536.png 945w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitcoin-miners-start-funding-pivot-to-ai-with-debt-while-selling-btc-to-stay-liquid\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Bitcoin miners start funding pivot to AI with debt while selling BTC to stay liquid<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>TeraWulf spends heavily on AI to replace its Bitcoin mining engine<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitcoin-miners-pour-billions-into-ai-but-the-pivot-could-leave-them-regretting-it-within-a-year\/\">Building the infrastructure behind that AI transition<\/a> has produced substantial losses and capital demands.<\/p>\n<p>TeraWulf reported a $940.8 million net loss during the second quarter, largely driven by a $755.7 million noncash charge tied to the remeasurement of warrant liabilities. The firm's net loss stands at approximately $1.4 billion this year.<\/p>\n<p>The company nevertheless reported progress in converting construction into paying capacity. Lake Mariner had 81 megawatts of revenue-generating critical IT capacity at the end of June before an early-July delivery increased the total to 102 MW.<\/p>\n<p>That delivery also activated $600 million of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitcoin-miners-find-new-ally-in-google-for-ai-transformation\/\">Google credit support for Fluidstack\u2019s lease obligations<\/a>.

He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are prepared to realize value where appropriate and redeploy capital toward larger-scale opportunities where we have greater control over the infrastructure, customer relationship and long-term economics.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The largest test of these moves sits beyond the current buildout.
