How TeraWulf's Anthropic Deal Booted Up a $19B AI Empire

Artificial intelligence is hitting a severe physical barrier. The language models are getting exponentially smarter, and the silicon is processing data faster than ever before, but the physical electrical grid cannot deliver power fast enough to keep up with demand. Hyperscalers require multi-gigawatt power drops and large liquid-cooling systems to train their next-generation models, and they need these facilities to be fully operational immediately. Enter the Bitcoin mining sector. For years, cryptocurrency miners have spent billions building high-density energy fortresses in remote locations. Now, operators with the right infrastructure are realizing they hold the exact real estate that artificial intelligence (AI) developers are desperate to acquire.
