Google's investment increased TeraWulf's stock prices, with Google owning a 14% stake now.
In a groundbreaking move, tech giant Google and TeraWulf have formed a strategic long-term partnership to integrate Bitcoin mining with AI hosting. The collaboration, underpinned by multi-billion dollar, decade-long agreements, sees TeraWulf providing predominantly zero-carbon digital infrastructure for both activities.
Google has committed over $3 billion in project financing and acquired up to a 14% equity stake in TeraWulf, securing these commitments financially and strategically.
At the heart of the plan is TeraWulf’s dual-track model. The company operates WULF Mining for energy-efficient Bitcoin mining and WULF Compute to offer hyperscale AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) hosting services. This approach addresses the growing trends in cryptocurrency mining and AI simultaneously.
TeraWulf is building and operating purpose-built, liquid-cooled data centers, such as the Lake Mariner campus in New York. These data centers are designed for high-density AI workloads, initially delivering over 200 MW critical IT load, expandable to more than 360 MW with new facilities.
Google's financial backing includes large-scale debt financing backstops ($3.2 billion as of August 2025) in support of project-related debt and the acquisition of equity and warrants in TeraWulf. This alignment of interests supports TeraWulf's dual business model and growth capital.
Sustainability and efficiency are key focuses for TeraWulf. The company is committed to a vertically integrated, predominantly zero-carbon infrastructure to power both Bitcoin mining and AI hosting. This positions the ventures to meet next-generation compute demands sustainably.
This alliance represents a blueprint for integrating Bitcoin mining with AI hosting at scale, leveraging clean energy and hyperscale infrastructure, backed by major tech investment to capture secular growth in AI workloads while continuing to capitalize on Bitcoin's value proposition.
The convergence of digital assets and AI creates new revenue streams for companies in this space, as demonstrated by Google's investment in TeraWulf. This investment sets a precedent for mining companies to reinvent themselves in the age of AI. Google's investment in TeraWulf indicates a belief that mining companies can transition to carbon-neutral AI infrastructure providers.
TeraWulf, a regular Bitcoin miner, also plays an increasingly important role in hosting large-scale AI. Google's intention to inject billions in investment into TeraWulf signals a real opportunity for the market. Earlier this year, Google's stock surged when Bitcoin's price hit $60,000. By 2025, Bitcoin is expected to surpass Google in market value, twice as much as Google's current value.
Repurposed Bitcoin mining facilities can meet the demands of AI-intensive workloads due to their ability to provide low-cost power and effective cooling. This partnership between Google and TeraWulf could pave the way for a new era of sustainable, high-performance digital infrastructure.
