Bitcoin miner TeraWulf to raise $3B for Google-backed data center: Report
Crypto mining company TeraWulf is reportedly raising approximately $3 billion through Morgan Stanley to build data centers, with tech giant Google providing support.
The TeraWulf funding round will support the build-out of its data centers with a structure supported by Google, according to company finance chief Patrick Fleury, who spoke to Bloomberg on Thursday.
Deal could launch as soon as October in high-yield bond or leveraged loan markets. Google’s backstop commitment to support the debt financing is an additional $1.4 billion, bringing its total to $3.2 billion.
The Google support could give the Morgan Stanley transaction a higher rating from credit rating firms. However, the terms of the transaction are still under negotiation, and there is no guarantee a deal will launch, Bloomberg said.
The AI boom has created severe shortages of data center space , GPU chips, and reliable electricity access, and large crypto mining companies are well-positioned because they already possess the two scarcest resources, existing data center infrastructure and secured power capacity.
Fluidstack agreement backed by Google
In August, TeraWulf announced a ten-year colocation lease agreement with Fluidstack, an AI infrastructure provider.
The deal, worth $3.7 billion in contract revenue, was also backstopped by Google, which took a 14% stake in TeraWulf.
Google has now committed $3.2 billion across both deals, showing serious long-term investment in crypto-to-AI infrastructure conversion.
Cointelegraph reached out to Terawulf for further details, but did not receive an immediate response.
TeraWulf stock spikes
TeraWulf stock (WULF) spiked 12% on Thursday, hitting an intraday high of $11.72 before it retreated to end up down 3.7% on the day at $10.97 in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance.
Company shares surged after the initial announcement in August, jumping 80% in the days that followed. TeraWulf has had a solid year with share prices up 94% since the beginning of 2025.

Cipher Mining signs similar deal

Cipher will provide data-center capacity for Fluidstack under a colocation agreement, while Google will obtain an equity stake in Cipher and backstop $1.4 billion of the obligations.
