United States · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
AI data center campus in Abernathy, Texas, developed by a joint venture of TeraWulf and Fluidstack announced in October 2025. It is designed for 168 MW of critical IT load (up to 240 MW gross) and is fully pre-leased to a Fluidstack entity for up to 25 years, with Google backstopping about $1.3 billion of the lease obligations; the end user is described only as a global hyperscale AI platform. Project financing was priced in December 2025 and commissioning was targeted for the second half of 2026. In July 2026 TeraWulf agreed to sell its 50.1% stake to a Fluidstack-led investor group, with Fluidstack to keep leading the project.

Evidence
Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
