TeraWulf revealed that the capital from the purchase will be used to fund a portion of the construction costs of a data center campus in Abernathy, Texas. The initiative to construct the Abernathy campus would mark one of the firm’s largest U.S. expansions so far. The project would also complement its existing low-carbon mining and high-performance computing initiatives in New York and Pennsylvania.

The funds will also be used for general corporate purposes. The Bitcoin miner also said the convertible notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the firm.

According to the report, the convertible notes will carry zero interest, and the principal amount of the convertible notes will remain unchanged. TeraWulf confirmed that the convertible notes will mature on May 1, 2032, unless they are repurchased, redeemed, or converted before that date. 

The firm also maintained that the convertible notes will only be convertible upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods before February 1, 2032. After that, the convertible notes will be convertible at any time until the end of the business day on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

TeraWulf said the convertible notes will be convertible into cash in respect of the aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes to be converted. They can also be converted into cash in exchange for shares of the firm’s common stock, or through a combination of cash and shares of the common stock.

TeraWulf will determine the initial conversion rate and other terms of the convertible notes at the time of pricing. The decision will also involve negotiations with the initial purchasers of the convertible notes.

The Bitcoin miner also maintained that the convertible notes or any shares of common stock will not be offered or sold in the U.S. unless registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. TeraWulf stated that it will only offer the convertible notes to persons believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

At the time of publication, TeraWulf shares have plummeted by more than 6.8% in the last 24 hours to $14.90. WULF is still up 16.6% in the past 5 days and has surged by nearly 29% in the past month. The company’s latest initiative adds to its continued aggressive financing streak throughout 2025 as it transitions from pure BTC mining operations to AI-driven HPC infrastructure.
