Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management, and expected market growth are forward-looking statements. These forward- looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis.” Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any time we use the words “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “continue,” “propose,” “seeks,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “might,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “planned,” “projects,” and, in each case, their negative or other various or comparable terminology and similar expressions, we intend to clearly express that the information deals with possible future events and is forward-looking in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. For TeraWulf, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include, without limitation:

•conditions in the cryptocurrency mining industry, including any prolonged substantial reduction in cryptocurrency prices, and specifically, the value of bitcoin, which could cause a decline in the demand for TeraWulf’s services;

•the number and value of bitcoin rewards and transaction fees we earn from our bitcoin mining operations;

•future self-mining hash rate capacity;

•timing of receipt and deployment of miners;

•competition among the various providers of data mining services;

•the need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future, which may be costly or difficult to obtain or may not be obtained (in whole or in part) and, if obtained, could significantly dilute the ownership interests of TeraWulf’s shareholders;

•the ability to implement certain business objectives and the ability to timely and cost-effectively execute integrated projects;

•adverse geopolitical or economic conditions, including a high inflationary environment;

•security threats or unauthorized or impermissible access to our data centers, our operations or our digital wallet;

•counterparty risk with respect to our digital asset custodian and our mining pool provider;

•employment workforce factors, including the loss of key employees;

•changes in governmental safety, health, environmental and other regulations, which could require significant expenditures;

•liability related to the use of TeraWulf’s services;

•currency exchange rate fluctuations; and

•other risks, uncertainties and factors included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and those included under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 19, 2024, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

These forward-looking statements reflect our views with respect to future events as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or review publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this Quarterly Report. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. You should read this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, merger, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may undertake. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

TERAWULF INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Organization

TeraWulf Inc. (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”) is a digital asset technology company with a core business of digital infrastructure and energy development to enable sustainable bitcoin mining. TeraWulf’s principal business consists of developing and operating bitcoin mining facilities in the United States that are fueled by predominantly clean, low cost and reliable power sources. The Company generates revenue in the form of bitcoin by providing hash computation services to a mining pool operator to mine bitcoin and validate transactions on the global bitcoin network using application-specific integrated circuit computers (“ASIC” or “miners”) owned by the Company. The earned bitcoin are routinely sold for U.S. dollars. The Company also earned revenue by providing miner hosting services to third parties. In 2024, the Company established WULF Compute as its internal innovation center, with a specific focus on the research, development, and deployment of its expansive and scalable digital infrastructure intended to support a broader high-performance computing (“HPC”) initiative, strategically aimed at diversifying the Company’s revenue streams. Given the increasing demand from high density compute loads, the Company's assets are well positioned to supply energy infrastructure targeting low cost, zero-carbon power. While the Company may choose to mine other digital currencies, it has no plans to do so currently.

TeraWulf currently owns and operates, either independently or through a joint venture, two bitcoin mining facilities: the Lake Mariner Facility located in upstate New York (the “Lake Mariner Facility”) and the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility located in central Pennsylvania (the “Nautilus Cryptomine Facility”). The Company’s wholly-owned Lake Mariner Facility began mining bitcoin in March 2022 and, as of June 30, 2024, the Company has energized four buildings and infrastructure comprising 195 MW of capacity. The Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, which has been developed and constructed through a joint venture (see Note 11), commenced mining operations in February 2023 and, in April 2023, achieved full energization of the Company’s allotted infrastructure capacity of 50 MW.

On December 13, 2021, TeraWulf Inc. completed a strategic business combination (the “Merger”) with IKONICS Corporation (“IKONICS”), a Minnesota corporation, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company effectively acquired IKONICS and became a publicly traded company on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“Nasdaq”), which was the primary purpose of the business combination. IKONICS’ traditional business was the development and manufacturing of high-quality photochemical imaging systems for sale primarily to a wide range of printers and decorators of surfaces. Customers’ applications were primarily screen printing and abrasive etching. As of the date of the Merger, TeraWulf classified the IKONICS business as held for sale and discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed sales of substantially all of IKONICS’ historical net assets (see Note 3). Subsequent to the asset sales, IKONICS’ name was changed to RM 101 Inc. (“RM 101”).

Risks and Uncertainties

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $21.1 million and generated cash flows from continuing operations of $39.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had balances of cash and cash equivalents of $104.1 million, a working capital balance of $18.5 million, total stockholders’ equity of $386.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $280.3 million. As of June 30, 2024, the working capital balance included the then outstanding $75.8 million principal balance of the Company’s Term Loans (See Note 9) which the Company repaid in July 2024 (see Note 9) prior to its maturity on December 1, 2024. The Company had 8.8 EH/s of operating capacity across the Lake Mariner Facility and the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility as of June 2024. To date, the Company has relied primarily on proceeds from its issuances of debt and equity and sale of bitcoin, both self-mined and distributed from the joint venture which owns the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility (see Note 11), to fund its principal operations.

In accordance with development of its bitcoin mining facilities, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company invested approximately $93.6 million for purchases of and deposits on plant and equipment. TeraWulf expects to fund its business operations and incremental infrastructure buildout primarily through positive cash flows from operations, including sales of bitcoin, both self-mined and distributed from the joint venture which owns the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, cash on the balance sheet and the issuance of equity and debt securities.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company achieved significant milestones by initiating and delivering rapid organic growth at the Lake Mariner Facility, and commencing operations at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, resulting in positive cash flows from continuing operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company additionally accomplished several notable steps to continue to achieve positive cash    flows from operations, namely: (1) the Company repaid $63.6 million of outstanding principal of its Term Loans to remove the fixed principal amortization and extend the excess cash flow sweep through maturity (see Note 9), (2) the Company received net proceeds of $175.1 million through the issuance of shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (3) the Company received bitcoin distributions with a fair value of $19.1 million at the time of distribution from the joint venture which owns the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, (4) the Company received substantially all contracted miners from the miner suppliers and has no remaining outstanding financial commitments under the miner purchase agreements (see Notes 11 and 12) for the existing operations at the Lake Mariner Facility and the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, (5) the construction activities at the Lake Mariner Facility for buildings one through four are substantially complete as of June 30, 2024, although the Company intends to expand its infrastructure. Additionally, if a business need requires its use, the Company has an active at-the-market sales agreement for sale of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million (the “ATM Program”), which had a remaining capacity of $103.0 million as of June 30, 2024. The issuance of Common Stock under this agreement would be made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration statement No. 333-262226). The Company has determined that it is probable that it will generate positive cash flows from operations and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, based on its expected range of forecasted bitcoin prices, network hashrate, and power prices and, therefore, there is not substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through at least the next twelve months. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from TeraWulf’s possible inability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of such interim results. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain amounts in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were restated as previously disclosed in the Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023. The misstatements related solely to incorrectly classifying payments of contingent value rights liability related to proceeds from sale of net assets held for sale as an investing activity instead of a financing activity as originally included in the respective interim unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.

The results for the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim period. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete presentation of annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for (but are not limited to) such items as the fair values of contingent consideration issued in a business combination, the establishment of useful lives for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the fair value of equity securities or warrants to purchase common stock issued individually or as a component of a debt or equity offering, the fair value of changes to the conversion terms of embedded conversion features, the fair value and requisite service periods of stock-based compensation, the fair value of assets received in nonmonetary transactions, the establishment of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from leasing arrangements, the timing of commencement of capitalization for plant and equipment, impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, recoverability of deferred tax assets, amortization of deferred issuance costs and debt discount, and the recording of various accruals. These estimates are made after considering past and current events and assumptions about future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the updates noted below, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for a detailed discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

Mining Pool

The Company has entered into an arrangement with a cryptocurrency mining pool (the Foundry USA Pool) to perform hash computation (i.e. hashrate) for the mining pool in exchange for consideration. Providing hash computation services to a mining pool is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of such hash computation services is the sole performance obligation. The mining pool arrangement is terminable at any time without substantial penalty by Foundry USA Pool and may be terminated without substantial penalty by the Company upon providing one Contract Day’s, as defined, prior written notice. The Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when and continues while the Company provides hash computation services to its customer, the mining pool operator. Accordingly, the contract term with Foundry USA Pool is deemed to be less than 24 hours and to continuously renew throughout the day. Additionally, the Company concluded that the mining pool operator’s (i.e., the customer’s) renewal right is not a material right because the renewal rights do not include any discounts; that is, the terms, conditions, and compensation amounts are at the then-current market rates.

There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

The mining pool applies the Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”) payout model. Under the FPPS model, in exchange for providing hash computation services to the pool, the Company is entitled to pay-per-share base amount and transaction fee reward compensation, calculated on a daily basis, at an amount that approximates the total bitcoin that could have been mined and transaction fees that could have been awarded using the Company’s hash computation services, based upon the then current blockchain difficulty. Under this model, the Company is entitled to compensation, payable in bitcoin, regardless of whether the pool operator successfully records a block to the bitcoin blockchain.

The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration and is all variable. Because digital currency is considered noncash consideration, fair value of the digital currency award received would generally be determined using the quoted price of the related digital currency in the Company’s principal market at the time of contract inception. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to aggregate individual contracts with individual terms less than 24-hours within each intraday period and apply a consistent valuation point, the start of day Coordinated Universal Time (00:00:00 UTC), to value the related noncash consideration. Revenue is recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, which is the same day that control of the contracted service transfers to the mining pool, which is the same day as the contract inception. After every 24-hour contract term, the mining pool transfers the digital currency consideration to our designated digital currency wallet.

15

TERAWULF INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Consideration payable to the customer in the form of a pool operator fee, which is incurred only to the extent that the Company has generated FPPS consideration, is deducted from the bitcoin the Company receives and is recorded as contra-revenue, as it does not represent a payment for a distinct good or service.

Data Center Hosting

The Company’s hosting contracts were service contracts with a single performance obligation. The service the Company provided primarily included hosting the customers’ miners in a physically secure data center with electrical power, internet connectivity, ambient air cooling and available maintenance resources. The Company had one data center hosting contract with a customer, which expired in February 2024, for which the quoted price of bitcoin in the Company’s principal market at the time of contract inception was approximately $38,000. The Company recorded miner hosting revenue of $0 and $0.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $1.7 million and $4.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Power Curtailment Credits

Proceeds related to participation in demand response programs are recorded as a reduction in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations in the period corresponding to the underlying associated demand response program period. The Company recorded demand response program amounts of approximately $1.9 million and $3.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $104.1 million and $54.4 million, respectively.

The Company currently maintains cash and cash equivalent balances primarily at two financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured, up to $250,000, by the FDIC. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s bank balance that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit was $8.2 million. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

Digital currency

Digital currency is comprised of bitcoin earned as noncash consideration in exchange for providing hash computation services to a mining pool as well as in exchange for data center hosting services which are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed above. From time to time, the Company also receives bitcoin as distributions-in-kind from its joint venture. Digital currency is included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets due to the Company’s ability to sell it in a highly liquid marketplace and because the Company reasonably expects to liquidate its digital currency to support operations within the next twelve months.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08, Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”). ASU 2023-08 requires entities with certain crypto assets to subsequently measure such assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net income in each reporting period. Crypto assets that meet all the following criteria are within the scope of the ASC 350-60:

•meet the definition of intangible assets as defined in the Codification

•do not provide the asset holder with enforceable rights to or claims on underlying goods, services, or other assets

•are created or reside on a distributed ledger based on blockchain or similar technology

•are secured through cryptography

•are fungible, and

•are not created or issued by the reporting entity or its related parties. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets.

TERAWULF INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

ASU 2023-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2023-08 effective January 1, 2024, resulting in a cumulative-effect change of $37,000 to increase the balance of digital currency with a corresponding decrease in the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2024.

As a result of adopting ASU 2023-08 on January 1, 2024, the Company measures digital currency at fair value as of each reporting period in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), based on quoted prices on the active trading platform that the Company normally transacts and has determined is its principal market for bitcoin (Level 1 inputs), based on all information that is reasonably available. Since bitcoin is traded on a 24-hour period, the Company utilizes the price as of midnight UTC time, which aligns with the Company's revenue recognition policy. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of digital currency are included within loss (gain) on fair value of digital currency, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company sells bitcoin and gains and losses from such transactions, measured as the difference between the cash proceeds and the carrying basis of bitcoin as determined on a first-in-first-out basis, are also included within loss (gain) on fair value of digital currency, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded loss (gain) on fair value of digital currency, net of $0.7 million and $(0.6) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-08, the Company accounted for digital currency as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. The Company elected to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and to track its bitcoin activity daily for impairment assessment purposes. The Company determined the fair value of its bitcoin on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with ASC 820 based on quoted prices on the active trading platform that the Company normally transacts and has determined is its principal market for bitcoin (Level 1 inputs), based on all information that was reasonably available. The Company performed an analysis each day to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted price of bitcoin on the active trading platform, indicated that it was more likely than not that its bitcoin were impaired. For impairment testing purposes, the lowest intraday trading price of bitcoin was identified at the single bitcoin level (one bitcoin). The excess, if any, of the carrying amount of bitcoin and the lowest daily trading price of bitcoin represented a recognized impairment loss. To the extent an impairment loss was recognized, the loss established the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of previously recorded impairment losses was prohibited. The Company recorded impairment of digital currency of $0.7 million and $1.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Digital currency received as noncash consideration through the Company’s mining activities are included as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to cash provided by (used in) operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The receipt of digital currency as distributions-in-kind from equity investees are included within supplemental disclosures of noncash investing activities. Proceeds from sales of digital currency are included within cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows as bitcoin are converted nearly immediately into cash.

Concentrations

The Company and its joint venture have primarily contracted with two suppliers for the provision of bitcoin miners and one mining pool operator. The Company does not believe that these counterparties represent a significant performance risk. Revenue did not exceed 10% for any one data center hosting customer for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue from one data center hosting customer represented 11.2% and 13.8% of consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company only operated bitcoin mining facilities; however, the Company has targeted an initial commitment for an allocation of a 2 MW power block at the Lake Mariner Facility intended to support a broader HPC initiative and is also designing a 20 MW colocation pilot program at the Lake Mariner Facility capable of supporting 16 MW of critical IT load with liquid cooling and redundancy requirements typical of a Tier 3 data center. While the Company may choose to mine other digital currencies, it has no plans to do so currently. If the market value of bitcoin declines significantly, the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company may be adversely affected.

Other Income

Other income consists primarily of interest income on bank deposits. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, other income included $39,000 related to a disgorgement of short-swing profits arising from trades by a non-management insider under Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

Loss per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed.

Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss attributed to common stockholders (adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Convertible preferred stock, which are participating securities because they share in a pro rata basis any dividends declared on common stock but because they do not have the obligation to share in the loss of the Company, are excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per share. Diluted loss per share reflects the effect on weighted average shares outstanding of the number of additional shares outstanding if potentially dilutive instruments, if any, were converted into common stock using the treasury stock method or as-converted method as appropriate. The computation of diluted loss per share does not include dilutive instruments in the weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive. The Company’s dilutive instruments or participating securities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants and RSUs issued for services. If the entire liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 13) was converted at its conversion price as of June 30, 2024, the Company would issue approximately 1.2 million shares of Common Stock. As of June 30, 2024, Common Stock warrants outstanding were 19,877,981 with a weighted average strike price of $1.34 and total RSUs outstanding were 6,942,646.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision–making group (“CODM”) is composed of the chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief strategy officer. Currently, the Company operates solely in the Digital Currency Mining segment. The Company’s mining operations are located in the United States, and the Company has employees only in the United States and views its mining operations as one operating segment as the CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis in making decisions regarding resource allocations and assessing performance.

NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATION, ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 13, 2021, the Company completed the Merger with RM 101 (formerly known as IKONICS Corporation) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company effectively acquired RM 101 and became a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq. The consideration in the Merger included, among other things, contractual contingent value rights (“CVR”) per a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), pursuant to which each shareholder of RM 101 as of immediately prior to the Merger, received one non-transferable CVR for each outstanding share of common stock of RM 101 then held. The holders of the CVRs were entitled to receive 95% of the Net Proceeds (as defined in the CVR Agreement), if any, from the sale, transfer, disposition, spin-off, or license of all or any part of the pre-merger business of RM 101.

In August 2022, RM 101 sold certain property for net sales proceeds of $13.2 million with certain indemnifications that expired in February and August 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made payments of the CVR liability related to proceeds from sales of net assets held for sale of $9.6 million. Additionally, the Company made payments of the CVR liability of $1.4 million in November 2023 such that as of December 31, 2023, the Company had made all of the aggregate required distributions of $11.0 million of proceeds to the CVR Holders and the CVR Agreement was deemed terminated.

Upon acquisition, the RM 101 business met the assets held-for-sale and discontinued operations criteria and is reflected as discontinued operations held for sale in these consolidated financial statements. The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax presented in the consolidated statements of operations included immaterial selling, general and administrative, and was $3,000 and $38,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company reported no loss from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Total cash flows provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $0 and $0.3 million in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

	$	946	$	946	$	—	$	—

The Company has determined the long-term debt fair value as of June 30, 2024 is approximately $71.7 million (see Note 9). The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, other receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued construction liabilities, other accrued liabilities and other amounts due to related parties are considered to be representative of their respective fair values principally due to their short-term maturities. There were no additional material non-recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, except for (i) the calculation of fair value of Common Stock warrants issued in connection with amendments to the Company’s long-term debt agreement (see Note 9), in connection with the issuance of Common Stock (see Note 15), in connection with a Common Stock exchange agreement and on a standalone basis, (ii) the change in fair value of embedded derivatives in certain of the Company’s convertible promissory notes (see Note 14) and (iii) the calculation of fair value of nonmonetary assets distributed from the Company’s joint venture (see Note 11). The Company utilized a Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its Common Stock warrants issued except as discussed for warrants issued in connection with the Term Loans (as defined in Note 9) and to value the change in fair value of embedded derivatives in certain of the Company’s convertible promissory notes.

NOTE 7 – LEASES

In May 2021, the Company entered into a ground lease (the “Ground Lease”), which was subsequently amended in July 2022, related to the Lake Mariner Facility in New York with a counterparty which is a related party due to control by a member of Company management. The Ground Lease includes fixed payments and contingent payments, including an annual escalation factor as well as the Company’s proportionate share of the landlord’s cost to own, operate and maintain the premises. The Ground Lease has a term of eight years and a renewal term of five years at the option of the Company, subject to the Company not then being in default, as defined. The Ground Lease, which is classified as an operating lease, was remeasured as of the date of the amendment and utilized a discount rate of 12.6%, which was an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at the remeasurement date. Upon expiration of the lease, the buildings and improvements on the premises will revert to the landlord in good order.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded operating lease expense of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, including contingent expense of $0.1 million in each period, in operating expenses – related party in the consolidated statements of operations and made cash lease payments of $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded operating lease expense of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, including contingent expense of $0.1 million in each period, in operating expenses – related party in the consolidated statements of operations and made cash lease payments of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The remaining lease term based on the terms of the amended Ground Lease as of June 30, 2024 is 9.9 years.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was not a counterparty to any finance leases.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. The Company has an effective tax rate of 0% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s effective rate differs from its statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or a portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company estimated a portion of its deferred tax assets will be utilized to offset the Company’s deferred tax liabilities. Based upon the level of historical U.S. losses and future projections over the period in which the remaining deferred tax assets are deductible, at this time, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the remaining deductible temporary differences, and as a result the Company has recorded a valuation allowance as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for the amount of deferred tax assets that will not be realized.

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. No accrued interest or penalties were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

On December 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “LGSA”) with Wilmington Trust, National Association as administrative agent, which was subsequently amended in 2022 and 2023 and consisted of total Term Loans of $146.0 million (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans bear an interest rate of 11.5% and have a maturity date of December 1, 2024.

Subsequent to an amendment to the LGSA in March 2023 (the “Fifth Amendment”), the Company was required to pay amounts subject to an excess cash flow sweep, as defined, on a quarterly basis which will automatically extend to the maturity of the Term Loans in the event the Company repays at least $40.0 million of the principal balance of the Term Loans by April 1, 2024. Interest payments were due quarterly in arrears prior to the Fifth Amendment and are due monthly in arrears subsequent to the Fifth Amendment. The Company has the option to prepay all or any portion of the Term Loans in increments of at least $5.0 million subject to certain prepayment fees equal to an amount of 2% of the prepaid principal, applicable to 85% of the outstanding principal. Certain events, as described in the LGSA, require mandatory prepayment. The Company made no repayments on the principal balance of the Term Loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repaid $30.2 million and $63.6 million of the principal balance of the Term Loans, respectively, including a voluntary prepayment of $18.6 million in February 2024. In connection with the voluntary prepayment, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million which is included in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, consisting of $0.3 million of prepayment fees and the immediate write-off of $1.7 million of unamortized debt discount associated with the principal repaid. The voluntary prepayment resulted in the Company having repaid $40.0 million in the aggregate, such that the excess cash flow sweep automatically extended to the maturity of the Term Loans.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, certain of the investors in the Term Loans were related parties due to cumulative voting control by members of the Company’s management and an individual who was then a member of the Company’s board of directors. The outstanding principal amounts under the Term Loans held by related party entities were $4.8 million and $12.9 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

In November 2022, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.4 million to certain accredited investors, including to members of Company management in the amount of $1.7 million. The Convertible Notes were issued in privately negotiated transactions as part of a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In December 2022, the Company amended the Convertible Notes to (a) change the conversion date to March 1, 2023 and (b) allow for the conversion price to be reduced if an additional Qualified Financing were to occur prior to the conversion date at a price lower than the then existing Convertible Note conversion price. As a result of a private placement which was a Qualified Financing, the conversion price was $0.40 per share of Common Stock. In January 2023, the Convertible Notes were amended to change the conversion date to the third business day following the Shareholder Approval Date (as defined in Note 14). In March 2023, the Convertible Notes and accrued but unpaid interest were converted into 8,628,024 shares of Common Stock.

In January 2023, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note (the “January Convertible Note”) with an accredited investor in a privately negotiated transaction as part of a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D under the Securities Act in an aggregate principal amount of $1.3 million. The January Convertible Note had a maturity date of April 1, 2025 and accrued annual interest at a rate of 4.0%. The January Convertible Note was automatically convertible into Common Stock on the third business day following a shareholder meeting ultimately held in February 2023 at a conversion price equal to the lowest price per share paid by investors purchasing equity securities in any sale of equity securities by the Company between November 25, 2022 and the date of the shareholder meeting held in February 2023 with an aggregate gross sales price of not less than $5 million, subject to certain exclusions set forth in the January Convertible Note.

NOTE 11 – JOINT VENTURE

In May 2021, the Company and a subsidiary of Talen Energy Corporation (“Talen”) (each a “Member” and collectively the “Members”) entered into a joint venture, Nautilus Cryptomine LLC (“Nautilus”), to develop, construct and operate up to 300 MW of zero-carbon bitcoin mining in Pennsylvania (the “Joint Venture”) which was subsequently amended in August 2022 (the “A&R Nautilus Agreement”) and March 2023 (the “Second A&R Nautilus Agreement”). In connection with the Joint Venture, Nautilus simultaneously entered into (i) a ground lease (the “Nautilus Ground Lease”), which includes an electricity supply component, with a related party of Talen, (ii) a Facility Operations Agreement (the “FOA”), currently with a related party of Talen and (iii) a Corporate Services Agreement (the “CSA”) with a related party of Talen. Pursuant to the Second A&R Nautilus Agreement, the Company holds a 25% equity interest in Nautilus and Talen holds a 75% equity interest in Nautilus, each subject to adjustment based on relative capital contributions.

The Nautilus Cryptomine Facility initially requires 200 MW of electric capacity. Prior to May 13, 2024, the Company had the option to expand the energy requirement of the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility by up to 50 MW, funded solely by the Company. In February 2024, the Company exercised its election to expand the energy requirements of the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility by an additional 50 MW. Pursuant to the terms of the Second A&R Nautilus Agreement, the Talen Member may, within twelve months of the Company’s election, elect to expand the energy requirement of the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility by up to an additional 50 MW, funded solely by the Talen Member, for a total capacity of up to 300 MW. Upon such election, Nautilus will call additional capital for expansion and enter into an additional energy supply agreement with Talen Member or its affiliate for the additional capacity, subject to any regulatory approvals and third-party consents. As of August 12, 2024, no additional capital calls for expansion have been made and no additional energy supply has been procured.

On March 1, 2024, a subsidiary of Talen sold substantially all its assets to an unaffiliated third party, including the land that Nautilus utilizes pursuant to the Nautilus Ground Lease. In connection with the sale, the Nautilus Ground Lease was assigned from Talen to the purchaser of the assets.

The Company capitalized a portion of the interest on funds borrowed to finance its investments in Nautilus prior to Nautilus commencing its principal operations. Capitalized interest costs were $0 and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company capitalized no interest costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Distributions are made periodically in accordance with each Member’s respective hashrate contributions after deducting primarily each Member’s share of power and operational costs. The Company received bitcoin distributions from Nautilus with a fair value of $19.1 million and $4.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Nautilus is a variable interest entity accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The table below summarizes the Company’s interest in Nautilus and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the VIE as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands, except for percentages):

Entity	% Ownership		Initial Investment		Additional Investment, Net		Net loss Inception to Date		Company’s Variable Interest in Entity		Commitment to Future Additional Contributions (1)		Company’s Maximum Exposure to Loss in Entity (2)
Nautilus	25.0	%	$	18,000	$	88,066	$	20,498	$	85,568	$	—	$	85,568

(1)The Members may mutually agree on changes to the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, which could increase the amount of contributions the Company is required to provide. The Members may seek alternate financing for the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, which could reduce the amount of investments each Member may be required to provide.

(2)The maximum exposure at June 30, 2024 is determined by adding the Company’s variable interest in the entity and any explicit or implicit arrangements that could require the Company to provide additional financial support. The amount represents the contractually required capital contributions of the Company which were required for the initial phase of the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility buildout.

In August 2022, due to the change in Member ownership percentage and governance rights under the A&R Nautilus Agreement, Talen determined it controlled the Joint Venture from an accounting perspective and thereby was required to fair value the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Joint Venture for its internal accounting purposes. Under the CSA, Talen is responsible for maintaining the books and records of the Joint Venture and elected to push down the fair value adjustments to Nautilus’ books and records. The Company accounts for its interest in Nautilus as an equity method investment and the change in ownership percentage does not impact the Company’s method of accounting or basis. Therefore, there is a basis difference between the books and records of Nautilus and the Company’s accounting basis in the Joint Venture.

The condensed results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the condensed financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of Nautilus are summarized below (in thousands):

The Company’s basis in the assets and liabilities of Nautilus continue to be recorded at historical value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company, as allowed under the A&R Nautilus Agreement, transferred control of approximately 4,900 MinerVA miners from Nautilus to its Lake Mariner Facility, including certain miners that had yet to be shipped from MinerVA. Accordingly, the Company recorded the miners at an estimated fair value of $6.9 million, determined based on a contemporaneous observed market price for similar assets, in property, plant and equipment, net and the Company reduced the equity in net assets of investee balance by $20.5 million, the book value of the miners in Nautilus’ books and records, in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and recorded a loss of $4.6 million and $13.6 million as a component of equity in net loss of investee, net of tax in the consolidated statement of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

As contemplated in the A&R Nautilus Agreement, members are allowed to make contributions of miners up to the effective electrical capacity of their owned infrastructure percentage. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company contributed to Nautilus certain miners with a fair value, determined based on miner vendor contracts, of $36.7 million. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2023, the Company increased the equity in net assets of investee balance by $36.7 million and reduced the property, plant and equipment, net balance by the same amounts in the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 13 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In March 2022, TeraWulf entered into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited and institutional investors (collectively, the “Holders”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company sold 9,566 shares (of 10,000 shares authorized) of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) to the Purchasers for an aggregate purchase price of $9.6 million. The Subscription Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company. The offer and sale of the Convertible Preferred Stock were made pursuant to the prospectus and prospectus supplement forming a part of the 2022 Registration Statement.

Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 10.0% on the stated amount per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share, accumulating on a daily basis and payable quarterly on March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st, respectively, in each year and commencing June 30, 2022. Commencing June 30, 2022, unpaid dividends will be accreted to the liquidation preference. The initial liquidation preference is $1,000 per share. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will also be entitled to such dividends paid to holders of the Company’s Common Stock, if applicable, as if such holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock had converted their Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversions) and had held such shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. If applicable, such payments will be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock. Upon liquidation, the Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Company’s Common Stock, and will have the right to be paid, out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Certificate of Designations) per share of the Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will not generally have the right to vote at any meeting of stockholders, except for certain protective voting rights, as defined. The Convertible Preferred Stock does not have a maturity date.

The Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will have a right to effect an optional conversion of all or any whole number of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time.

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion will be equal to the liquidation preference, including accumulated and unpaid dividends, divided by the Conversion Price, as defined. The Conversion Price is determined by dividing $1,000 by the Conversion Rate, as defined, which is initially 100 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 liquidation preference of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted for certain customary events, including (but not limited to) stock dividends, stock splits or combinations, tender offers or exchange offers and, additionally, for Fundamental Changes, as defined, to include (but are not limited to) a change in control of the Company, disposition of substantially all assets of the Company, the Company’s Common Stock holders approve a plan of liquidation or dissolution or the Company’s Common Stock cease to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. A Fundamental Change will adjust the Conversion Rate based on the date of the Fundamental Change and the Stock Price, as defined, on such date. The Conversion rate will not exceed 125 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 liquidation preference of Convertible Preferred Stock. If any Convertible Preferred Stock is to be converted pursuant to a Holder’s optional conversion, the Company will have the option to settle such conversion in cash, as defined.

NOTE 15 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2021, the Company made effective the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for purpose of attracting and retaining employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates by providing each the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company or other incentive compensation in order to align the interests of such individuals with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Plan provides for a maximum number of shares to be issued, limitations of shares to be delivered for incentive stock options and a maximum compensation amount for any non-employee member of the board of directors, among other provisions. The form of grants under the Plan includes stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not issued stock options. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 the Company issued 45,553 and 84,617 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to Board of Director members for payment of quarterly fees in lieu of cash payments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, stock-based compensation expense was $4.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, stock-based compensation expense was $1.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activities for unvested Company RSUs granted to employees and Board of Directors members during the six months ended June 30, 2024:

NOTE 16 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In April 2021, the Company entered into an Administrative and Infrastructure Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Beowulf Electricity & Data Inc. (“Beowulf E&D”), a related party due to control by a member of Company management. Under the Services Agreement, Beowulf E&D will provide, or cause its affiliates to provide, to TeraWulf certain services necessary to construct and operate certain bitcoin mining facilities developed or anticipated to be developed by the Company and support the Company’s ongoing business, including, among others, services related to construction, technical and engineering, operations and maintenance, procurement, information technology, finance and accounting, human resources, legal, risk management and external affairs consultation. The Services Agreement has an initial term of five years and provides for certain fixed, passthrough and incentive payments to Beowulf E&D, including issuing to certain designated employees of Beowulf E&D awards with respect to shares of TeraWulf Common Stock upon the consummation of an initial public offering of TeraWulf or the consummation of a merger following which TeraWulf is listed on a nationally recognized securities exchange and, thereafter, upon achievement of certain milestones regarding bitcoin mining capacity deployed at the bitcoin mining facilities. For the base fee, the Company originally agreed to pay Beowulf E&D in monthly installments an annual fee for the first year in the amount of $7.0 million and, thereafter, an annual fee equal to the greater of $10.0 million or $0.0037 per kilowatt hour of electric load utilized by the bitcoin mining facilities. In March 2023, TeraWulf and Beowulf E&D entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Services Agreement, pursuant to which TeraWulf agreed to pay Beowulf E&D, effective as of January 1, 2023, a reduced annual base fee equal to $8.5 million payable in monthly installments, until all obligations under the Company’s LGSA, as amended and restated from time to time, are either indefeasibly repaid in full or refinanced, at which point the annual base fee will increase to $10.0 million. The Services Agreement also provides for reimbursement of cost and expenses incurred in connection with providing the services. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid Beowulf E&D $7.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, under the Services Agreement, including payments related to construction agreements with contractors at the Lake Mariner Facility. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses – related party in the consolidated statements of operations includes $2.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, and operating expenses – related party in the consolidated statements of operations includes $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in each case related to the base fee and reimbursement of costs and expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses – related party in the consolidated statements of operations includes $2.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and operating expenses – related party in the consolidated statements of operations includes $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in each case related to the base fee and reimbursement of costs and expenses. As of June 30, 2024, $0.7 million is included in prepaid expenses, $0.6 million is included in other amounts due to related parties and $0.3 million is included in property, plant and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, $0.7 million is included in prepaid expenses, $1.0 million is included in amounts due to related parties and $6.6 million is included in property, plant and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Services Agreement also provides for performance-related milestones and related incentive compensation. In connection with the listing of its Common Stock on a nationally recognized stock exchange in December 2021, pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company agreed to issue awards valued at $12.5 million with respect to shares of its Common Stock to certain designated employees of Beowulf E&D in accordance with TeraWulf’s then effective Plan. Additionally, once the mining facilities have utilized 100 MW of cryptocurrency mining load in the aggregate, and for every incremental 100 MW of cryptocurrency mining load deployed thereafter, TeraWulf agreed to issue additional awards of shares of TeraWulf Common Stock each in the amount of $2.5 million to certain designated employees of Beowulf E&D in accordance with TeraWulf’s then effective Plan. The first performance milestone of 100 MW of mining load deployed by the mining facilities was met in April 2023 and the Company recorded performance milestone expense related to this milestone of $0.1 million and $0.4 million included in selling, general and administrative expense – related party in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded no performance milestone expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. In September 2023, the Company considered it probable that the second performance milestone of incremental 100 MW of mining load deployed by the mining facilities would be met by December 2023. Accordingly, the Company recognized $2.5 million in share based liabilities due to related party in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 1,083,189 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a fair value of $2.5 million to settle the share based liabilities due to related party.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “TeraWulf,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to TeraWulf Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. Certain statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a leading digital asset technology firm that specializes in digital infrastructure and sustainable energy development. Our primary focus is supporting environmentally conscious bitcoin mining operations by developing and operating state-of-the-art facilities within the United States. Our bitcoin mining facilities are powered by predominantly clean, affordable, and reliable energy sources, underscoring our commitment to sustainable practices within the cryptocurrency mining industry. In 2024, the Company established WULF Compute as its internal innovation center, with a specific focus on the research, development, and deployment of its expansive and scalable digital infrastructure intended to support a broader high-performance computing (“HPC”) initiative, strategically aimed at diversifying the Company’s revenue streams. Given the increasing demand from high density compute loads, the Company's assets are well positioned to supply energy infrastructure targeting low cost, zero-carbon power.

Revenue Structure

Our primary source of revenue stems from the mining of bitcoin conducted at our sustainable mining facility site. Additionally, we occasionally generate revenue through the provision of miner hosting services to third-party entities. We exclusively engage in bitcoin mining for our own purposes and do not facilitate bitcoin transactions for external parties.

Our industrial-scale bitcoin mining operations are strategically designed to optimize efficiency. This involves continuously expanding our hashrate, which represents the computational power dedicated to supporting the bitcoin blockchain. By doing so, we enhance our chances of successfully solving cryptographic hashes, thereby generating new blocks on the bitcoin blockchain—a process commonly known as “solving a block.” Typically, a miner’s likelihood of solving a block and earning the block reward is directly linked to the proportion of the bitcoin blockchain's total network hashrate that its hashrate represents.

In addition to block rewards, bitcoin miners also earn transaction fees for confirming transactions. By validating unconfirmed transactions and incorporating them into new blocks within the blockchain, miners collect these fees. While miners are not obliged to confirm specific transactions, economic incentives drive them to validate legitimate transactions to earn fees. Historically, miners have accepted relatively low transaction fees, but these fees can vary, making future fee predictions challenging.

Presently, we liquidate the bitcoin mined as part of our routine treasury management processes to acquire U.S. dollars for operational, capital, or other corporate expenses. Our bitcoin holdings are securely stored in a cold storage wallet managed by our custodian, NYDIG Trust Company LLC, a duly chartered New York limited liability trust company (“NYDIG”).

For our bitcoin mining operations, we utilize a third-party mining pool operated by Foundry Digital LLC (“Foundry”). At the close of each day, the bitcoin we have earned is transferred by Foundry to our custodial wallet address at NYDIG. We abstain from engaging in the direct sale of our bitcoin on any exchange. Instead, we rely on NYDIG to handle the sale of our mined bitcoin in accordance with our execution agreement with NYDIG, as detailed further in the “Risk Factors” section herein. Our bitcoin sales occur on a daily and weekly basis.

Bitcoin and Blockchain

Bitcoin, introduced in 2008, fundamentally transformed the landscape of digital currency by providing a decentralized mechanism for exchanging and preserving value. It operates on a consensus-based network, utilizing a public ledger termed as the “blockchain” to meticulously record every bitcoin transaction, allowing users to send and receive payments without the need for banks and other intermediaries. Bitcoin is not linked to any fiat currency or country’s monetary policy, therefore serves as a store of value outside of government control. TeraWulf’s vertically integrated bitcoin mining facilities capitalize on predominantly zero-carbon energy sources, primarily sourced from baseload nuclear and hydroelectric power.

Bitcoin mining involves validating transactions through a proof-of-work consensus method, where miners solve complex mathematical problems to add transactions to the blockchain. The blockchain is maintained by a robust and public open-source architecture consisting of a network of computers, known as nodes, that work together to verify and validate new transactions. Because the blockchain is decentralized and transparent, all users can verify the legitimacy of a transaction without having to rely on a third party. This eliminates the need for intermediaries, which can be slow and expensive, and makes the network resistant to censorship and fraud. Bitcoin mining plays a key role in the maintenance and growth of the Bitcoin network by providing the computational power needed to verify transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain. TeraWulf invests in computation networks (mining rigs) equipped with application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) chips and secures power to validate transactions and maintain the bitcoin ledger. Factors such as computing capacity, electricity costs, and location play pivotal roles in mining operations. Generally, the greater the share a single mining rig can capture of the blockchain’s total network hashrate, or the aggregate hashrate deployed to solving a block on the Bitcoin blockchain, the greater the rig’s chances of solving a block and therefore earning the reward.

Network difficulty, which is a measure of how hard it is for miners to solve a block on the Bitcoin blockchain (and, thus, earn a mining reward), is determined by the network’s total hashrate (i.e., the total computational power devoted to solving a block), which is adjusted every 2,016 blocks (with a new block being added approximately every ten minutes). Therefore, as more miners join the network and the network’s global hashrate increases, its difficulty will increase. Conversely, if miners leave the network and its hashrate decreases, its difficulty will decrease.

Bitcoin Reward Halving

The bitcoin subsidy issued by the Bitcoin network for solving a block is subject to periodic incremental halving. The network halving is a preprogrammed, fixed process of the Bitcoin network where the bitcoin subsidy for solving a block received by miners is reduced by half approximately every four years. The network halving is a process designed to implement a periodic decreasing schedule of the issuance of new bitcoin into the market, which results in a predictable and controlled inflationary rate. The network halving will continue to occur on this schedule until the amount of bitcoin in existence reaches the cap of 21.0 million. After each halving, the decrease in the subsidy provided to miners from the Bitcoin network leads to fewer rewards for miners and therefore a decrease in revenues should the price of bitcoin remain the same. Transaction fees, which together with the block subsidy comprise the block reward for successfully solving a block, is not directly impacted by the halving. On April 19, 2024, the bitcoin rewards issued for each block solved dropped from 6.25 to 3.125, effectively reducing the bitcoin earned from bitcoin mining by 50% (excluding transactions fee rewards).

Our Facilities

TeraWulf currently conducts its bitcoin mining operations at two established data centers: the Lake Mariner Facility in upstate New York (the “Lake Mariner Facility”) and the jointly owned Nautilus facility located in central Pennsylvania (the “Nautilus Cryptomine Facility”). As of June 30, 2024, 95% of TeraWulf’s mining operations were fueled by zero-carbon energy, reflecting our dedication to sustainability. The Company’s ongoing objective is to achieve complete reliance on zero-carbon energy sources.

As of June 30, 2024, these two industrial scale projects had a combined operating capacity of 8.8 EH/s with approximately 71,700 miners deployed, comprised of 55,900 deployed miners at the Lake Mariner Facility and 15,800 deployed at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has a total operational capacity of 245 megawatts (“MW”) and is currently constructing an additional 50 MW at its Lake Mariner Facility, which is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2024.

35

The Lake Mariner Facility

Located at a site adjacent to the now decommissioned coal-fired power plant in Barker, New York, the Lake Mariner Facility began sustainably mining bitcoin in March 2022. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Lake Mariner Facility is operating approximately 195 MW of bitcoin mining capacity and the Company has an agreement in place with the Power Authority of the State of New York (“NYPA”) for 90 MW of high load factor power to support its bitcoin mining operations (the “PPA”). The PPA was executed in February 2022 and has a term of ten years from the date of commencement of NYPA’s power delivery. The Lake Mariner Facility is situated on an expansive site on the shores of Lake Ontario and has the ability to scale up to 500 MW of capacity.

As of June 30, 2024, we own approximately 55,900 miners of which approximately 51,300 are operational at the Lake Mariner Facility with the remainder undergoing maintenance, awaiting disposal or on standby to replace miners under repair. These miners were comprised as follows:

Vendor and Model	Number of miners
Bitmain S19 Pro	6,700
Bitmain S19 XP	6,300
Bitmain S19j Pro	11,800
Bitmain S19j XP	19,400
Bitmain S19k Pro	4,100
Bitmain S21	5,100
Bitmain S21 Pro	1,300
Whatsminer M30S+	1,200
	55,900

As of June 30, 2024, our fleet of miners ranged in age from 0.1 to 2.1 years with an average age of approximately 0.8 year. We do not have scheduled downtime for our miners; however, while we periodically perform unscheduled maintenance on our miners, such downtime has not been significant historically. When performing unscheduled maintenance, depending on the length of estimated repair time, we may replace a miner with a substitute miner to limit overall downtime. As of June 30, 2024, our fleet of miners at the Lake Mariner Facility had a range of energy efficiency from 15 to 31 joules per terahash (“"j/th”) and has an average energy efficiency of 23.1 j/th.

The Nautilus Cryptomine Facility

Located in Berwick, Pennsylvania, Nautilus Cryptomine LLC (“Nautilus”) is a joint venture between TeraWulf and a subsidiary of Talen Energy Corporation (“Talen”). Nautilus currently owns a 200 MW bitcoin mining facility located adjacent to the 2.5 gigawatt nuclear-powered Susquehanna Station. The Nautilus Cryptomine Facility represents the first bitcoin mining facility site that is powered by 100% “behind the meter” zero-carbon nuclear energy, which is contracted at a fixed rate of 2.0 cents per kilowatt hour (“kWh”) for a term of five years with two successive three-year renewal options. Under the Nautilus joint venture agreement, the Company holds a 25% equity interest in Nautilus and Talen holds a 75% equity interest, each subject to adjustment based on relative capital contributions. TeraWulf began mining bitcoin at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility in the first quarter of 2023 and, as of June 30, 2024, had an allotted 50 MW of operational bitcoin mining capacity at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility. Furthermore, TeraWulf plans to expand mining capacity at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility by another 50 MW in 2025, solidifying its position for scalable growth. Accordingly, in February 2024, the Company exercised its option to increase its energy requirement at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility by an incremental 50 MW at its own cost (for a total of 100 MW of bitcoin mining capacity attributable to TeraWulf). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, no additional capital calls for expansion have been made and no additional energy supply has been procured.

As of June 30, 2024, approximately 48,000 miners have been deployed at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility of which 46,000 are operational with the remainder undergoing maintenance or on standby to replace miners under repair. Approximately 15,800 of the deployed miners are attributed to TeraWulf’s contributions to Nautilus in order to utilize TeraWulf's allotted 50 MW of bitcoin mining capacity. These miners are comprised as follows:

36

Vendor and Model	Number of miners
Bitmain S19 Pro	6,300
Bitmain S19 XP	7,100
Bitmain S19j Pro	2,400
	15,800

As of June 30, 2024, these miners ranged in age from 1.2 to 1.3 years with an average age of approximately 1.3 years. Nautilus does not have scheduled downtime for our miners; however, while Nautilus periodically performs unscheduled maintenance on miners, such downtime has not been significant historically. When performing unscheduled maintenance, depending on the length of estimated repair time, Nautilus may replace a miner with a substitute miner to limit overall downtime. As of June 30, 2024, these miners had a range of energy efficiency from 22 to 30 j/th and an average energy efficiency of 25.5 j/th. While the Company holds a 25% equity interest in Nautilus, the distributions of mined bitcoin are determined by each of TeraWulf’s and Talen’s respective hashrate contributions. Accordingly, the Company has contributed approximately 1.9 EH/s of a total 5.2 EH/s of miners which results in an approximate 35.7% of the hashrate share attributed to the Company.

Combined Facilities

As described above, there are a variety of factors that influence our ability to mine bitcoin profitably, including bitcoin’s value in USD, mining difficulty global hashrate, power prices, fleet energy efficiency, data center energy efficiency and other factors. The energy efficiency of a mining fleet helps drive profitability, because the most significant direct expense for bitcoin mining is power. We believe we operate a highly efficient fleet of miners. The Company uses the following metrics as indicators of operational progress and effectiveness and believes they are useful to investors for the same purposes and to provide comparisons to peer companies.

The table below presents our miner efficiency and computing power as compared to the global computing power as of June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Combined facilities1	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Global hashrate (EH/s)2	566.0		335.3
Miner efficiency (j/th)3	23.2		23.1
TeraWulf combined average operating hashrate (EH/s)4	8.0		2.8
TeraWulf % of global hashrate	1.4	%	0.8	%

1 Results reflect hashrate of mining operations at the Lake Mariner Facility and TeraWulf’s net share of hashrate produced at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility.

2 Total global hashrate obtained from YCHARTS (https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_network_hash_rate)

3 Joules of energy required to produce each terahash of processing power

4 While nameplate inventory for TeraWulf’s two facilities is 8.8 EH/s, inclusive of gross total hosted miners, actual monthly hashrate performance depends on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) performance tuning to increase efficiency and maximize margin, scheduled outages (scopes to improve reliability or performance), unscheduled outages, curtailment due to participation in various cash generating demand response programs, derate of ASICS due to adverse weather and ASIC maintenance and repair.

As of June 30, 2024 our operating hashrate was approximately 1.4% of the total global hashrate, and we received approximately the same percentage of the global blockchain rewards, which as of that date, equaled approximately 6 to 7 bitcoin per day. Ultimately, in order to mine profitably, we work to ensure that these mining rewards cover our direct operating costs.

(1) “Cost to mine one bitcoin” is a cash cost metric and does not include depreciation. Although the Company recognizes depreciation with respect to its mining assets, it does not consider depreciation in determining whether it is economical to operate its mining equipment. As a result, the Company does not consider the sunk costs or depreciation of past capital investments in its historical or forecasted breakeven analysis. If depreciation of our miner fleet were factored into the above cost of mining analysis, it would add $21,532 and $17,660 per bitcoin mined for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, bringing the total “cost to mine one bitcoin” to $44,527 and $36,166 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. If depreciation of our miner fleet were factored into the above cost of mining analysis, it would add $9,513 and $9,820 per bitcoin mined for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, bringing the total “cost to mine one bitcoin” to $16,235 and $16,972 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

(2) Computed as the weighted-average opening price of bitcoin on each respective day the mined bitcoin is earned. Excludes bitcoin earned from profit sharing associated with a hosting agreement that expired in February 2024 at the Lake Mariner Facility.

(3) Excludes bitcoin earned from profit sharing associated with a hosting agreement that expired in February 2024 at the Lake Mariner Facility of 0 and 17 bitcoin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 6 and 37 bitcoin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and includes TeraWulf’s net share of bitcoin mined at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, based on the hashrate share attributed to the Company.

(4) Excludes energy expenses associated with a hosting agreement that expired in February 2024 at the Lake Mariner Facility and includes TeraWulf’s net share of energy expense at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, based on aggregate nameplate power consumption of deployed miners attributed to TeraWulf’s contribution to Nautilus.

Power prices are the most significant cost driver for our bitcoin mining operations, and energy costs represented 34.8% and 31.5% as expressed as a percentage of value of total bitcoin mined during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and 23.9% and 27.2% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Power prices expressed as a percentage of value of total bitcoin mined during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased as compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to an approximate doubling in network difficulty and the bitcoin reward halving in April 2024, partially offset by increases in average operating hashrate and increases in average value of each bitcoin mined.

Energy prices can be highly volatile and global events can cause power prices to increase or decrease nationwide. Our wholly-owned Lake Mariner Facility in New York is subject to variable prices and market rate fluctuations with respect to wholesale power costs. Such prices are governed by market power prices and said prices can change hour to hour. While this renders energy prices less predictable, it also gives us greater ability and flexibility to actively manage the energy we consume with an eye towards increasing profitability and energy efficiency. Energy prices are also highly sensitive to weather events, such as winter storms and polar vortices, which increase the demand for power regionally. When such events occur, we may curtail our operations to avoid using power at increased rates or we may be curtailed under demand response programs in which we participate. The average power prices incurred at the Lake Mariner Facility and the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility was $0.037 and $0.039 during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.027 and $0.031 per kilowatt hour during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The management team makes real-time determinations on the need and timing during which we should curtail. If not otherwise curtailed under demand response programs, we curtail when power prices exceed the value we would receive for the corresponding fixed bitcoin reward. This means if bitcoin’s value decrease or energy prices increase, our curtailment will increase; likewise, when bitcoin’s value increases and energy prices decrease, our curtailment will decrease. The management team manages this decision on an hour-by-hour basis.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company curtailed operations at the Lake Mariner Facility due to weather events, energy price spikes, and demand response program participation. The Company records expected payments to be received for demand response programs as a reduction in cost of revenue, which amounted to $1.9 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The Company has purchased all miners with cash and has not used limited recourse equipment financing to complete its miner purchases. The Company has raised capital through both the issuance of equity and corporate level debt. These funds have been utilized to support operations, invest in our joint venture, and purchase miners and other fixed assets. Costs related to such issuances are not included in this analysis. Additionally, miner acquisition costs, or capital expenditures, are not factored into the above cost of mining analysis as capital expenditures do not impact the marginal cost of production of one bitcoin. Miner acquisition costs, or capital expenditures, are generally recorded at cost in property, plant and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the equipment: generally 4 years for miners and 5 years for computer equipment. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation expense of $1.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, related to certain miners of which the Company shortened their estimated useful lives based on replacement by April 30, 2024. While we currently depreciate our miners over a 4-year period, given our historical low cost of power, it is possible the average actual useful life of our miners may exceed the depreciation period in certain circumstances. Nevertheless, if depreciation of our miner fleet were factored into the above cost of mining analysis, it would add $21,532 and $17,660 per bitcoin mined in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $9,513 and $9,820 per bitcoin mined in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The estimation of asset useful lives requires management judgement, including consideration of historical operating data, which is limited in the industrial-scale bitcoin mining space given the advent of next-generation mining rigs primarily used by the Company’s bitcoin mining operations. Depreciation periods can be adjusted periodically if an event, regulatory action, or change in retirement patterns indicates an update is necessary. Additionally, management considers expected future energy market prices and conditions, operating costs, maintenance practices and capital investment requirements in determining the estimated useful lives of our equipment and reassesses the reasonableness of estimated useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances warrant. When a determination has been made that an asset will be retired or extended before or after the end of its current estimated useful life, depreciation provisions will be accelerated or extended to reflect the shortened or lengthened estimated useful life, which could have a material unfavorable or favorable impact on future results of operations.

Recent Developments

In July 2024, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance of the Term Loans of $75.8 million, which included a voluntary prepayment of $56.0 million. In connection with the voluntary prepayment, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.2 million consisting of $0.9 million of prepayment fees and the immediate write-off of $3.3 million of unamortized debt discount associated with the principal repaid.

The Business Combination

TeraWulf completed its business combination with IKONICS Corporation (“IKONICS”) on December 13, 2021 pursuant to which, among other things, the Company effectively acquired IKONICS and became a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq, which was the primary purpose of the business combination. The consideration in the Merger included, among other things, contractual contingent value rights (“CVR”) per a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) pursuant to which each shareholder of IKONICS as of immediately prior to the Merger, received one non-transferable CVR for each outstanding share of common stock of IKONICS then held. The holders of the CVRs were entitled to receive 95% of the Net Proceeds (as defined in the CVR Agreement), if any, from the sale, transfer, disposition, spin-off, or license of all or any part of the pre-merger business of IKONICS. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made payments of the CVR liability related to proceeds from sales of net assets held for sale of $9.6 million. Additionally, the Company made payments of the CVR liability of $1.4 million in November 2023 such that as of December 31, 2023, the Company had made all of the aggregate required distributions of $11.0 million of proceeds to the CVR Holders and the CVR Agreement was deemed terminated.

Results of Operations

The Company generates revenue in the form of bitcoin by providing hash computation services to a mining pool operator to mine bitcoin and validate transactions on the global Bitcoin network using application-specific integrated circuit computers owned by the Company. The earned bitcoin are routinely sold for U.S. dollars. The Company also earned revenue by providing miner hosting services to third parties. While the Company may choose to mine other digital currencies, it has no plans to do so currently. The Company's plan of operation for the next twelve months is to continue to increase the mining capacity at its operating mining facilities, including completion of the construction of the fifth building at its Lake Mariner Facility.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

The following table presents revenue and cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Revenue	$	35,574	$	15,456	$	78,007	$	26,989
Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation)	$	13,918	$	5,113	$	28,326	$	10,115

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $35.6 million and $15.5 million, respectively, an increase of $20.1 million. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $78.0 million and $27.0 million, respectively, an increase of $51.0 million. These increases were primarily due to the increase in mining capacity due to infrastructure constructed and placed in service between June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 as well as an increase in the quoted price of bitcoin, partially offset by the impact of the halving in April 2024. The Company began mining bitcoin at the Lake Mariner Facility in March 2022 and, as of June 30, 2024, the Company had energized four buildings and additional infrastructure comprising 195 MW of capacity as compared to 110 MW of capacity as of June 30, 2023. Bitcoin prices averaged $65,771 and $59,515 per bitcoin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to $28,009 and $25,390 per bitcoin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 the Company mined 539 and 1,312 bitcoin, respectively, as compared to 508 and 936 bitcoin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from mining was $35.6 million and $77.2 million, respectively, as compared to $13.8 million and $23.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from hosting was $0 and $0.8 million, respectively, as compared to $1.7 million and $4.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, a decrease due to the expiration of the Company’s one data center hosting contract with a customer in February 2024.

40

Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $13.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, an increase of $8.8 million. Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $28.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $18.2 million. Cost of revenues is primarily comprised of power expense and the increases were primarily due to the increase in mining and hosting capacity due to infrastructure constructed and placed in service between June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 and, to a lesser extent, slight increase in realized power prices during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023. The Company records proceeds related to participation in demand response programs as a reduction in cost of revenue in the period corresponding to the underlying demand response program period; the amount of aggregate proceeds received or expected to be received were $1.9 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company is actively expanding its enrollment in such available programs in New York State.

Costs and Expenses

The following table presents operating expenses (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Operating expenses	$	797	$	468	$	1,582	$	776
Operating expenses – related party	875		639		1,763		1,236
	$	1,672	$	1,107	$	3,345	$	2,012

Operating expenses (including related party expenses) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, a net increase of $0.6 million. Operating expenses (including related party expenses) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were $3.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, a net increase of $1.3 million. Operating expenses increased due to higher property insurance and miner repair costs. Operating expenses – related party increased due to increased staffing at the Lake Mariner Facility. These increases related to infrastructure constructed and placed in service between June 30, 2023 and 2024.

The following table presents selling, general and administrative expenses (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	9,113	$	5,878	$	21,402	$	12,370
Selling, general and administrative expenses – related party	2,803		2,676		5,423		5,574
	$	11,916	$	8,554	$	26,825	$	17,944

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including related party expenses) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $11.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively, a net increase of $3.3 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of professional fees, legal fees, employee compensation and benefits, stock-based compensation to employees and consultants, insurance and general corporate expenses. The increase was primarily due to increased expense during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year of stock-based compensation of $3.1 million and employee compensation and benefits of $0.4 million. These increases were partially offset by decreased expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year of legal fees of $0.6 million and insurance expense of $0.2 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including related party expenses) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $26.8 million and $17.9 million, respectively, a net increase of $8.9 million. The increase was primarily due to increased expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year of stock-based compensation of $9.2 million and employee compensation and benefits of $0.7 million. These increases were partially offset by decreased expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year of legal fees of $0.7 million and insurance expense of $0.5 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses – related party decreased due to performance milestone expense of $0.4 million under the Administrative and Infrastructure Services Agreement with Beowulf Electricity & Data Inc.

41

Depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $14.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively, an increase of $7.7 million. Depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $29.2 million and $11.9 million, respectively, an increase of $17.3 million. The increases were primarily due to the increase in mining capacity due to infrastructure constructed and placed in service between June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation expense of $1.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, related to certain miners of which the Company shortened their estimated useful lives based on expected replacement by April 30, 2024.

Loss (gain) on fair value of digital currency, net during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.7 million and $(0.6) million, respectively, as a result of the Company adopting Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08, Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”) on January 1, 2024 which requires entities with certain crypto assets to subsequently measure such assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net income in each reporting period. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-08, the Company recorded impairment of digital currency of $0.7 million and $1.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, representing the decline in bitcoin prices during the Company’s holding period of its bitcoin, which was not reversed during its holding period, and realized gain on sale of digital currency for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, upon subsequent liquidation of bitcoin held. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2023-08 effective January 1, 2024, resulting in a cumulative-effect change of $37,000 to increase the balance of digital currency with a corresponding decrease in the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2024.

Interest expense was $5.3 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $3.2 million primarily due to a decrease in amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount as well as decrease in cash interest expense related to the stated interest rate, which remained unchanged, on the Term Loans, each resulting from the reduction in principal balance due to principal repayments made between June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. Interest expense was $16.4 million and $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million. Interest expense relates primarily to the Company’s Term Loans which had a principal balance of $75.8 million as of June 30, 2024. The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to (i) an increase of amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount of $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 due to the recognition of debt discount in March 2023 in connection with the issuance of warrants concurrent with the Fifth Amendment to the LGSA, partially offset by (ii) a decrease of $1.4 million in interest expense related to the stated interest rate, which remained unchanged, on the Term Loans resulting from the reduction in principal balance due to principal repayments made between June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. The Company’s term loan financing had a maturity date of December 1, 2024. In July 2024, the Company fully repaid the remaining outstanding balance of the Term Loans.

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0 and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to prepayment fees of $0.3 million incurred to voluntarily prepay $18.6 million of the Company’s Term Loans in February 2024 and the derecognition of unamortized debt discount of $1.7 million associated with the principal repaid. The Company made no repayments on the principal balance of the Term Loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Income tax benefit was $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Based upon the level of historical U.S. losses and future projections over the period in which the net deferred tax assets are deductible, at this time, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the remaining deductible temporary differences, and as a result the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax

Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively as compared to $(3.3) million and $(13.5) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which represents TeraWulf’s proportional share of income or losses of Nautilus, which commenced principal operations in February 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the amount also includes an impairment loss of $4.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively, on the distribution of miners from Nautilus to the Company whereby the miners were marked to fair value from book value on the date distributed. The impairment loss was the result of decreasing prices for miners between initial purchase and distribution.

Non-GAAP Measure

To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to common stockholders adjusted for (i) impacts of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (ii) preferred stock dividends, stock-based compensation expense and related party expense to be settled with respect to common stock, all of which are non-cash items that the Company believes are not reflective of its general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment, and the resulting expenses could vary significantly in comparison to other companies; (iii) equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax, related to Nautilus; (iv) other income which is related to interest income or income for which management believes is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating activities; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, which is not reflective of the Company’s general business performance and (vi) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, which is not be applicable to the Company’s future business activities. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA also includes the impact of distributions from investee received in bitcoin related to a return on the Nautilus investment, which management believes, in conjunction with excluding the impact of equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax, is reflective of assets available for the Company’s use in its ongoing operations as a result of its investment in Nautilus.

Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company's core business operating results and those of other companies, and provides the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management's internal use of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenues). For example, the Company expects that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants. Additionally, management does not consider any of the excluded items to be expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenue.

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating loss or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents Adjusted EBITDA, the Company only utilizes that measure supplementally and does not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $104.1 million, a working capital balance of $18.5 million, total stockholders’ equity of $386.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $280.3 million. The Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company began mining bitcoin in March 2022 and had 8.8 EH/s of operating capacity across the Lake Mariner Facility and the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility as of June 30, 2024. To date, the Company has relied primarily on proceeds from its issuances of debt and equity and sale of bitcoin, both self-mined and distributed from the joint venture which owns the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, to fund its principal operations.

The principal uses of cash are for the operation and buildout of mining facilities, debt service and general corporate activities and, to a lesser extent in 2023, investments in Nautilus joint venture related to mining facility buildout and general corporate activities. Cash flow information is as follows (in thousands):

Certain amounts in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were restated as previously disclosed in the restated unaudited interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included in the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities for continuing operations was $39.2 million and $(9.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities resulted from a net loss of $20.5 million less non-cash expenses, net of $29.7 million, adjusted for changes in certain asset and liability balances and increased by proceeds from sale of bitcoin of $97.6 million. The non-cash expenses were primarily comprised of (i) amortization of debt issuance cost, commitment fees and accretion of debt discount of $10.7 million, (ii) stock-based compensation of $11.8 million, (iii) depreciation of $29.2 million, (iv) amortization of right-of-use asset of $0.5 million, (v) increase in digital currency from mining and hosting services of $77.5 million, (vi) gain on fair value of digital currency, net of $0.6 million, (vii) loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million and (viii) $6.0 million related to the Company’s equity in net income, net of tax of Nautilus. The changes in certain assets and liabilities were primarily comprised of a net increase in other receivables of $1.6 million, decrease in accounts payable of $6.3 million, and decrease in other accrued liabilities of $1.9 million, partially offset by decreases in prepaid expenses of $1.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operations resulted from a net loss of $43.8 million plus non-cash expenses, net of $13.1 million, adjusted for changes in certain asset and liability balances and increased by proceeds from sale of bitcoin of $28.5 million. The non-cash expenses were primarily comprised of (i) amortization of debt issuance cost, commitment fees and accretion of debt discount of $8.3 million, (ii) related party expense to be settled with respect to common stock of $0.4 million (iii) stock-based compensation of $2.6 million, (iv) depreciation of $11.9 million, (v) amortization of right-of-use asset of $0.5 million, (vi) increase in digital currency from mining and hosting services of $24.2 million, and (vii) $13.5 million related to the Company’s equity in net loss, net of tax of Nautilus. The changes in certain assets and liabilities were primarily comprised of a net increase in other current assets of $1.3 million, decrease in accounts payable of $3.8 million, decrease in accrued liabilities of $2.3 million, and decrease in other amounts due to related parties of $1.3 million, partially offset by decrease in prepaid expenses of $1.6 million.

Cash used in investing activities for continuing operations was $93.6 million and $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company invested $93.6 million and $16.0 million in the buildout of its mining facilities at the Lake Mariner Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company invested $2.8 million, on a net basis, in its joint venture.

Cash provided by financing activities for continuing operations was $104.0 million and $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively primarily related to proceeds from Common Stock issued, net of issuance costs, of $173.2 million and $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company also received proceeds from warrant exercises of $1.9 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company made principal payments in excess of proceeds from insurance premium financings of $1.6 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made principal payments on long-term debt of $63.6 million and payments of $5.7 million related to tax withholdings related to net share settlements of stock-based compensation awards. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company (i) received proceeds from issuance of a convertible promissory note of $1.3 million, and (ii) made payments of contingent value rights liability related to proceeds from sale of net assets held for sale of $9.6 million.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

As of June 30, 2024, the Company has one Future Sales and Purchase Agreement (the “March 2024 Bitmain Purchase Agreement”) with Bitmain Technologies Delaware Limited (“Bitmain Delaware”) which, as supplemented, provides the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 6,000 PH (approximately 30,000 miners) of S21 Pro miners, pursuant to certain payment timing conditions, by December 31, 2024 for a purchase price of $112.3 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had paid Bitmain Delaware $11.2 million, calculated as 10% of the purchase price (the “Call Option Fee”). The Call Option Fee shall be applied to the settlement of future down payments of purchases under the Bitmain Call Option, in whole or in part in proportion to the ratio of quantity to be purchased to the maximum PH available under the Bitmain Call Option. In May 2024, the Company exercised an option to purchase 5,000 S21 Pro units and, prior to June 30, 2024, paid Bitmain Delaware an additional $16.8 million for these units.

45

The Company is counterparty to the Amended and Restated Talen Joint Venture Agreement dated August 27, 2022 (“A/R Joint Venture Agreement”). Under this A/R Joint Venture Agreement, the Company has invested $106.1 million on a net basis and has right-sized its equity ownership interest to 25% of the joint venture. The Company does not expect any additional material capital contributions to be required for the existing operations at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility.

Financial Condition

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $21.1 million and generated cash flows from continuing operations of $39.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had balances of cash and cash equivalents of $104.1 million, a working capital balance of $18.5 million, total stockholders’ equity of $386.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $280.3 million. As of June 30, 2024, the working capital balance included the then outstanding $75.8 million principal balance of the Company’s Term Loans which the Company repaid in July 2024 prior to its maturity on December 1, 2024. The Company had 8.8 EH/s of operating capacity across the Lake Mariner Facility and the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility as of June 2024. To date, the Company has relied primarily on proceeds from its issuances of debt and equity and sale of bitcoin, both self-mined and distributed from the joint venture which owns the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, to fund its principal operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company achieved significant milestones by initiating and delivering rapid organic growth at the Lake Mariner Facility, and commencing operations at the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, resulting in positive cash flows from continuing operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company additionally accomplished several notable steps to continue to achieve positive cash flows from operations, namely: (1) the Company repaid $63.6 million of outstanding principal of the Company’s Term Loans to remove the fixed principal amortization and extend the excess cash flow sweep through maturity, (2) the Company received net proceeds of $175.1 million through the issuance of shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, (3) the Company received bitcoin distributions with a fair value of $19.1 million at the time of distribution from the joint venture which owns the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, (4) the Company received substantially all contracted miners from the miner suppliers and has no remaining outstanding financial commitments under the miner purchase agreements for the existing operations at the Lake Mariner Facility and the Nautilus Cryptomine Facility, (5) the construction activities at the Lake Mariner Facility for buildings one through four are substantially complete as of June 30, 2024, although the Company intends to expand its infrastructure. Additionally, if a business need requires its use, the Company has an active at-the-market sales agreement for sale of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million (the “ATM Program”), which had a remaining capacity of $103.0 million as of June 30, 2024. The issuance of Common Stock under this agreement would be made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration statement No. 333-262226).

The Company has determined that it is probable that it will generate positive cash flows from operations and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, based on its expected range of forecasted bitcoin prices, network hashrate, and power prices and, therefore, there is not substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through at least the next twelve months. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from TeraWulf’s possible inability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The above discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires the application of accounting policies and the use of estimates. The accounting policies most important to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and estimates that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments are described below.

See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

46

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Mining Pool

The Company has entered into an arrangement with a cryptocurrency mining pool (the "Foundry USA Pool") to perform hash computation (i.e. hashrate) for the mining pool in exchange for consideration. Providing hash computation services to a mining pool is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of such hash computation services is the sole performance obligation. The mining pool arrangement is terminable at any time without substantial penalty by Foundry USA Pool and may be terminated without substantial penalty by the Company upon providing one Contract Day’s, as defined, prior written notice. The Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when and continues while the Company provides hash computation services to its customer, the mining pool operator. Accordingly, the contract term with Foundry USA Pool is deemed to be less than 24 hours and to continuously renew throughout the day. Additionally, the Company concluded that the mining pool operator’s (i.e., the customer’s) renewal right is not a material right because the renewal rights do not include any discounts; that is, the terms, conditions, and compensation amounts are at the then-current market rates.

There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

The mining pool applies the Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”) payout model. Under the FPPS model, in exchange for providing hash computation services to the pool, the Company is entitled to pay-per-share base amount and transaction fee reward compensation, calculated on a daily basis, at an amount that approximates the total bitcoin that could have been mined and transaction fees that could have been awarded using the Company’s hash computation services, based upon the then current blockchain difficulty. Under this model, the Company is entitled to compensation, payable in bitcoin, regardless of whether the pool operator successfully records a block to the bitcoin blockchain.

The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration and is all variable. Because digital currency is considered noncash consideration, fair value of the digital currency award received would generally be determined using the quoted price of the related digital currency in the Company’s principal market at the time of contract inception. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to aggregate individual contracts with individual terms less than 24-hours within each intraday period and apply a consistent valuation point, the start of day Coordinated Universal Time (00:00:00 UTC), to value the related noncash consideration. Revenue is recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, which is the same day that control of the contracted service transfers to the mining pool, which is the same day as the contract inception. After every 24-hour contract term, the mining pool transfers the digital currency consideration to our designated digital currency wallet.

Consideration payable to the customer in the form of a pool operator fee, which is incurred only to the extent that the Company has generated FPPS consideration, is deducted from the bitcoin the Company receives and is recorded as contra-revenue, as it does not represent a payment for a distinct good or service.

Data Center Hosting

The Company’s prior hosting contracts have been service contracts with a single performance obligation. The service the Company provided primarily included hosting the customers’ miners in a physically secure data center with electrical power, internet connectivity, ambient air cooling and available maintenance resources. The Company had one data center hosting contract with a customer, which expired in February 2024, for which the quoted price of bitcoin in the Company’s principal market at the time of contract inception was approximately $38,000. The Company recorded miner hosting revenue of $0 and $0.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $1.7 million and $4.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

47

Digital currency

Digital currency is comprised of bitcoin earned as noncash consideration in exchange for providing hash computation services to a mining pool as well as in exchange for data center hosting services which are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed above. From time to time, the Company also receives bitcoin as distributions-in-kind from its joint venture. Digital currency is included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets due to the Company’s ability to sell it in a highly liquid marketplace and because the Company reasonably expects to liquidate its digital currency to support operations within the next twelve months.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08 which requires entities with certain crypto assets to subsequently measure such assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net income in each reporting period. Crypto assets that meet all the following criteria are within the scope of the ASC 350-60:

•meet the definition of intangible assets as defined in the Codification

•do not provide the asset holder with enforceable rights to or claims on underlying goods, services, or other assets

•are created or reside on a distributed ledger based on blockchain or similar technology

•are secured through cryptography

•are fungible, and

•are not created or issued by the reporting entity or its related parties. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets.

ASU 2023-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2023-08 effective January 1, 2024, resulting in a cumulative-effect change of $37,000 to increase the balance of digital currency with a corresponding decrease in the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

As a result of adopting ASU 2023-08 on January 1, 2024, the Company measures digital currency at fair value as of each reporting period in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), based on quoted prices on the active trading platform that the Company normally transacts and has determined is its principal market for bitcoin (Level 1 inputs), based on all information that is reasonably available. Since bitcoin is traded on a 24-hour period, the Company utilizes the price as of midnight UTC time, which aligns with the Company's revenue recognition policy. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of digital currency are included within gain on fair value of digital currency, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company sells bitcoin and gains and losses from such transactions, measured as the difference between the cash proceeds and the carrying basis of bitcoin as determined on a first-in-first-out basis, are also included within gain on fair value of digital currency, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded loss (gain) on fair value of digital currency, net of $0.7 million and $(0.6) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

48

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-08, the Company accounted for digital currency as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. The Company elected to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and to track its bitcoin activity daily for impairment assessment purposes. The Company determined the fair value of its bitcoin on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with ASC 820 based on quoted prices on the active trading platform that the Company normally transacts and has determined is its principal market for bitcoin (Level 1 inputs), based on all information that was reasonably available. The Company performed an analysis each day to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted price of bitcoin on the active trading platform, indicated that it was more likely than not that its bitcoin were impaired. For impairment testing purposes, the lowest intraday trading price of bitcoin was identified at the single bitcoin level (one bitcoin). The excess, if any, of the carrying amount of bitcoin and the lowest daily trading price of bitcoin represented a recognized impairment loss. To the extent an impairment loss was recognized, the loss established the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of previously recorded impairment losses was prohibited. The Company recorded impairment of digital currency of $0.7 million and $1.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Digital currency received as noncash consideration through the Company’s mining activities are included as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to cash provided by (used in) operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The receipt of digital currency as distributions-in-kind from equity investees are included within supplemental disclosures of noncash investing activities. Proceeds from sales of digital currency are included within cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows as bitcoin are converted nearly immediately into cash.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable interest entities (“VIE”) are legal entities in which equity investors do not have (i) sufficient equity at risk for the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) as a group, the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the legal entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or (iii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the legal entity. The Company would consolidate any VIE in which it has a controlling financial interest through being deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both characteristics are met, the Company considers itself to be the primary beneficiary and therefore will consolidate that VIE into its consolidated financial statements.

The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon initial involvement with a VIE and reassesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based upon facts and circumstances for the VIE and requires significant judgments such as whether the entity is a VIE, whether the Company’s interest in a VIE is a variable interest, the determination of the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity, whether the Company controls those activities, and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

In 2021, the Company entered into a joint venture, Nautilus, with an unrelated co-venturer to develop, construct and operate a bitcoin mining facility in Pennsylvania. Due to the initial nature of the joint venture and the continued commitment for additional financing, the Company determined Nautilus is a VIE. While the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Nautilus, the Company has determined that it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Nautilus. Initially, the power to direct the activities of Nautilus that most significantly impact Nautilus’ economic performance were shared equally by both parties within the joint venture due to the requirement for both equity holders to approve many of the key operating decisions and when not equally shared, were predominantly under the control of the co-venturer, including through the co-venturer’s majority representation on the board of managers. As such, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Nautilus and, therefore, has accounted for this entity under the equity method of accounting. Risks associated with the Company’s involvement with Nautilus include a commitment to potentially fund additional equity investments.

49

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset, or asset group, may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Any impairment loss recorded is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $0 impairment charges for long-lived assets.

Issuance of Debt with Warrants; Debt Modification

In March 2023, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the LGSA, which included the issuance of warrants to purchase 27,759,265 shares of Common Stock at $0.01 per share and 13,879,630 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share. The accounting for debt modifications is complex and requires significant judgment. Potential accounting outcomes include troubled debt restructuring accounting, extinguishment accounting or modification accounting, each with different implications for the consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that modification accounting is applicable. Additionally, debt modification accounting requires the determination of the fair value of the warrants issued, which requires significant judgment. As a measure of sensitivity, a 10% change in the estimated fair value of the warrants would result in a $1.6 million change in the recorded value of the borrowing under the Third Amendment.

Convertible Instruments

The Company accounts for its issuance of convertible debt and convertible equity instruments in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP. In connection with that accounting, the Company assesses the various terms and features of the agreement in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). ASC 480 requires liability accounting for certain financial instruments, including shares that embody an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares, provided that the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on one of the following three characteristics: (1) a fixed monetary amount known at inception, (2) variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares or (3) variations in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, but the monetary value to the counterparty moves in the opposite direction as the value of the issuer’s shares. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company assesses the various terms and features of the agreement to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the current period's operating results. The Company did not have any liabilities required to be revalued in accordance with ASC 480 or ASC 815 as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company follows the provision of ASC 740 related to accounting for uncertain income tax positions. When tax returns are filed, it is more likely than not that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely that not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with the tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the Company’s balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The most critical estimate for income taxes is the determination of whether to record a valuation allowance for any net deferred tax asset, including net loss carryforwards, whereby management must estimate whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be realized.
