According to Cointelegraph, TeraWulf, the world’s sixth-largest Bitcoin mining firm, is set to launch a new Bitcoin mining facility at the beginning of September. Nazar Khan, co-founder and chief operating officer of TeraWulf, confirmed that the new 2-megawatt WULF Den facility, featuring a liquid-cooled design, will be operational next month. The facility's expedited launch was facilitated by constructing it within an existing structure. This launch precedes the milestone 20-megawatt facility, which is expected to go live before the end of 2024.
TeraWulf is also exploring potential partnerships with major tech companies, including members of the Magnificent Seven, which comprises top-performing tech stocks such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Khan mentioned that discussions are not limited to these companies but extend to the broader tech sector. The goal is to find a customer and partner capable of utilizing significant computing power, with potential partners including data centers or large artificial intelligence firms.
On the financial front, TeraWulf is noted for being one of the most profitable Bitcoin miners on a per-share basis. The company spends approximately $40,000 in production costs to mine one Bitcoin. Khan emphasized that their strategy focuses on producing Bitcoin at the lowest possible cost and selling it daily to capitalize on the profitable spread. This approach contrasts with Marathon Digital Holdings, the world’s largest Bitcoin miner, which follows a “full hodl” strategy, holding onto Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Marathon recently raised $250 million to purchase more Bitcoin, adding $100 million worth of BTC to its reserves in July.
