TeraWulf Announces March 2024 Production and Operations Update

                     8 EH/s of installed and operational self-mining capacity

Building 4 (35 MW) at Lake Mariner nearing final construction, providing path to 10 EH/s by mid-2024

 EASTON, Md., April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”), owners and operators of vertically integrated, domestic bitcoin mining facilities powered by more than 95% zero-carbon energy, today provided an unaudited monthly production and operations update for March 2024.

March 2024 Production and Operations Highlights        

  • Self-mined 379 bitcoin in March with an average production rate of 12.2 bitcoin per day.

  • Power cost averaged $13,798 per bitcoin self-mined, or approximately $0.035/kWh in March, which excludes the benefit of expected demand response or ancillary services proceeds.

  • Installed hash rate increased month-over-month to 8 EH/s exiting March, primarily due to the replacement of approximately 1,000 older generation miners with S19k Pro miners.

  • In early April, an additional 3,000 S19k Pro miners are expected to be delivered and energized at the Lake Mariner facility and deployed to replace older generation miners and expand the miner fleet.

Management Commentary

“In addition to replacing older generation miners, during March, Lake Mariner implemented third-party firmware across a significant portion of our mining fleet, with initial results indicating a potential 10% efficiency improvement,” said Sean Farrell, SVP of Operations at TeraWulf.

Farrell further stated, “Additionally, Lake Mariner continues to actively engage in demand response programs. Our recent expansion of qualified capacity within the NYISO Operating Reserve program reflects our ongoing commitment to operational efficiency and resource management.”

Production and Operations Update

Operational infrastructure capacity consists of 160 MW at the Lake Mariner facility and 50 MW at the Nautilus Cryptomine, resulting in a combined self-mining hash rate of 8 EH/s as of the end of March. On average, the mining facilities operated at 95% of their installed nameplate capacity, attributed to proactive demand response participation, performance optimization efforts, and systematic maintenance procedures.

Construction of Building 4 (35 MW) at the Lake Mariner facility remains on track to be completed by mid-2024, which is expected to increase TeraWulf’s total operational capacity to approximately 10 EH/s.

As previously announced, the Company is pursuing a potential large-scale, high-performance computing (HPC) project at the Lake Mariner site and has committed an initial 2 MW block of power, capable of deploying thousands of the latest generation graphics processing units (GPUs).

1 The Company’s share of the earnings or losses from operations at the Nautilus Cryptomine facility is reflected within “Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax” in the consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, operating results of the Nautilus Cryptomine facility are not reflected in revenue, cost of revenue or cost of operations lines in TeraWulf’s consolidated statements of operations.  The Company uses these metrics as indictors of operational progress and effectiveness and believes they are useful to investors for the same purposes and to provide comparisons to peer companies.   All figures except Bitcoin Self-Mined are estimates and remain subject to standard month-end adjustments.
2 Includes TeraWulf’s net share of bitcoin mined at the Nautilus Cryptomine facility, based on hash rate share attributed to the Company.
3 Computed as the weighted-average opening price of bitcoin on each respective day the Bitcoin Self-Mined is earned.
4 While nameplate inventory as of March 31, 2024 for TeraWulf’s two facilities is estimated at 8 EH/s, actual monthly hash rate performance depends on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) performance tuning to increase efficiency and maximize margin, scheduled outages (scopes to improve reliability or performance), unscheduled outages, curtailment due to participation in various cash generating demand response programs, derate of ASICS due to adverse weather and ASIC maintenance and repair.
