TeraWulf is making waves in the tech world, with its shares surging 13% following news of a massive expansion at its Lake Mariner campus in Western New York. Backed by Google, this development positions TeraWulf as a leader in advancing Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
Google’s $1.4 Billion Investment Enhances AI Infrastructure
In a groundbreaking move, Google has pledged $1.4 billion to fund TeraWulf’s data center expansion. This investment gives Google warrants to purchase 32.5 million shares of TeraWulf, increasing its equity stake to approximately 14%, compared to 8% previously. This move highlights Google’s growing commitment to the AI ecosystem.
“By partnering with Google, we’re laying the foundation for next-generation AI infrastructure,” said Paul Prager, CEO of TeraWulf. “The Lake Mariner campus is a hub for innovation, and this expansion further highlights its unmatched capabilities.”
What’s New at the Lake Mariner Campus?
The centerpiece of the expansion is a newly constructed building, CB-5, which will add an additional 160 megawatts of critical IT load. This development will boost TeraWulf’s contracted capacity with cloud platform Fluidstack to 360 MW. Operations are expected to commence in the latter half of 2026. The scale of this project and Google’s involvement reiterate the strategic importance of the site to AI advancements.

Agreements with Fluidstack amount to $6.7 billion in contracted revenue, with the potential to grow to $16 billion if lease extensions are exercised. These agreements underline TeraWulf’s ability to attract top-tier partners for its projects, further solidifying its reputation in the industry.
