Anthropic Signs $19bn, 20-Year Lease for Kentucky Data Center with TeraWulf

The lease is expected to generate about $19 billion in contracted revenue and support 401 megawatts of AI computing capacity.

  • On Monday, TeraWulf announced that Anthropic signed a 20-year lease for a "purpose-built AI infrastructure campus" in Hawesville, Kentucky, expected to generate about $19 billion in contracted revenue.
  • TeraWulf is reframing its identity from a Bitcoin proxy into a long-duration compute-infrastructure landlord by developing this campus on the site of a former Century Aluminum smelter.
  • The campus will support 401 megawatts of critical IT load by early 2028; TeraWulf also agreed to sell its 50.1% stake in the Abernathy, Texas joint venture for roughly $450 million.
  • TeraWulf stock is up 95% year to date as investors respond to the company's pivot toward AI infrastructure, though analysts hold a $36 consensus price target on WULF with capacity not arriving until 2028.
  • Despite the revenue stream, TeraWulf faces ongoing construction, permitting, and financing risks while continuing to target 250 to 500 megawatts of new critical IT capacity annually across sites in New York, Texas, Kentucky, and Maryland.
