Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include statements concerning anticipated future events and expectations that are not historical facts. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “goal,” “target,” “aim,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, although the absence of these words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of TeraWulf’s management and are inherently subject to a number of factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements based on a number of factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among others: (1) conditions in the cryptocurrency mining industry, including fluctuation in the market pricing of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and the economics of cryptocurrency mining, including as to variables or factors affecting the cost, efficiency and profitability of cryptocurrency mining; (2) competition among the various providers of cryptocurrency mining services; (3) changes in applicable laws, regulations and/or permits affecting TeraWulf’s operations or the industries in which it operates, including regulation regarding power generation, cryptocurrency usage and/or cryptocurrency mining; (4) the ability to implement certain business objectives and to timely and cost-effectively execute integrated projects; (5) failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and/or on acceptable terms with regard to growth strategies or operations; (6) loss of public confidence in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies and the potential for cryptocurrency market manipulation; (7) adverse geopolitical or economic conditions, including a high inflationary environment; (8) the potential of cybercrime, money-laundering, malware infections and phishing and/or loss and interference as a result of equipment malfunction or break-down, physical disaster, data security breach, computer malfunction or sabotage (and the costs associated with any of the foregoing); (9) the availability, delivery schedule and cost of equipment necessary to maintain and grow the business and operations of TeraWulf, including mining equipment and infrastructure equipment meeting the technical or other specifications required to achieve its growth strategy; (10) employment workforce factors, including the loss of key employees; (11) litigation relating to TeraWulf, RM 101 Inc. (f/k/a IKONICS Corporation) and/or the business combination; (12) potential differences between the unaudited results disclosed in this release and the Company’s final results when disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as a result of the completion of the Company’s final adjustments, annual audit by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and other developments arising between now and the disclosure of the final results; and (13) other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Potential investors, stockholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they were
made. TeraWulf does not assume any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement after it was made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or regulation. Investors are referred to the full discussion of risks and uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements and the discussion of risk factors contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.

TeraWulf Reports Fully Funded 7.9 EH/s and Future Expansion Plans Fully funded 7.9 EH/s, increasing self‐mining capacity by 58% Building 3 at the Lake Mariner facility now fully operational Planning for additional growth with construction of Building 4 already underway Expansion of existing HPC project supporting generative AI planned for 2024 EASTON, Md. – December 28, 2023 – TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”), which owns and operates vertically integrated, domestic Bitcoin mining facilities powered by more than 91% zero‐carbon energy, today provided a business update. Key Highlights Fully funded 7.9 EH/s expansion, increasing self‐mining capacity by 58%. Building 3 at the Lake Mariner facility is operational and ready for delivery, installation and energization of new miners. Estimated deployment date of February 1, 2024, for all 18,500 BITMAIN Antminer S19j XP bitcoin miners. Additional growth underway at the Lake Mariner facility with the foundation of Building 4 poured and construction ongoing, which, upon completion in mid‐2024, will bring TeraWulf’s total operational capacity to ~10 EH/s. Expansion of existing high‐performance computing (“HPC”) project supporting generative AI and large language model applications at the Lake Mariner facility, planned for 2024. 7.9 EH/s Expansion Update With Building 3 at Lake Mariner now fully operational, the facility’s bitcoin mining infrastructure capacity has increased to approximately 160 MW. The addition of 18,500 Antminer S19j XP bitcoin mining machines from BITMAIN, which have a power‐efficiency rating of 21.5 joules per terahash (J/TH) and a bitcoin mining hashrate of 151 terahash per second (TH/s) each, will create one of the most efficient and profitable mining fleets in the sector with a fleet efficiency of 25.7 J/TH. (For a closer look at Building 3, you can watch TeraWulf’s recently released construction update video HERE.) While the Company previously planned to convert prior deposits towards the S19j XP purchase order into 5,500 miners and host‐to‐own the remaining 13,000 miners for BITMAIN until the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company now plans to utilize its entire fleet for self‐mining operations. “Opportunistic market conditions have caused us to reassess our original conservative strategy and opt for a more near‐term growth strategy,” stated Paul Prager, Co‐founder and CEO of TeraWulf. “With Building 3 completed ahead of schedule and construction for Building 4 already underway, now is the time to charge hard into the upcoming halving and beyond.”
High‐Performance Compute Update In an effort to expand its operational scope beyond bitcoin mining, since September 2023, TeraWulf has been successfully operating a compact (NVIDIA A100) GPU system at the Lake Mariner Facility to support generative AI & large language model applications. Following on this success, TeraWulf has initially committed a block of power at the Lake Mariner facility, capable of deploying thousands of latest generation GPUs, to support a larger HPC project expected to commence in 2024. This project is aimed at diversifying the Company’s revenue streams by capitalizing on its infrastructure expertise to address the rapidly growing demand for GPU compute in the generative AI market. TeraWulf intends to continue leveraging its existing infrastructure to further push into the HPC and AI markets on a larger scale with compelling returns on capital. Future Growth Plans Planning is underway for additional growth at Lake Mariner with the construction of Building 4 having already begun. In addition to Lake Mariner’s growth, TeraWulf also has the option to add an additional 50 MW of bitcoin mining capacity at the nuclear‐powered Nautilus Cryptomine facility, bringing the Company’s capacity at the site to a total of 100 MW. About TeraWulf TeraWulf (Nasdaq: WULF) owns and operates vertically integrated, environmentally clean Bitcoin mining facilities in the United States. Led by an experienced group of energy entrepreneurs, the Company currently has two Bitcoin mining facilities: the wholly owned Lake Mariner facility in New York, and Nautilus Cryptomine facility in Pennsylvania, a joint venture with Cumulus Coin, LLC. TeraWulf generates domestically produced Bitcoin powered by nuclear, hydro, and solar energy with a goal of utilizing 100% zero‐carbon energy. With a core focus on ESG that ties directly to its business success, TeraWulf expects to offer attractive mining economics at an industrial scale.
