What to know:

- The deals more than double the company’s infrastructure portfolio to 2.8 gigawatts.
- Shares of TeraWulf (WULF) rose 11% in pre-market trading following the announcement.
TeraWulf (WULF) rose 11% on Tuesday pre-market after news that the firm acquired two power-heavy industrial sites, more than doubling its energy and computing footprint to 2.8 gigawatts (GW).
The sites — one in Hawesville, Kentucky, and the other in Morgantown, Maryland —add 1.5 gigawatts of capacity, the firm said in a late Monday press release. The company said this will help it meet demand for new large-scale computing and data workloads, as well as support grid reliability in those regions.

The move comes as a growing number of crypto miners position themselves as key players in the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom. With AI companies in need of data center space, high-powered chips, and vast amounts of electricity, miners have become crucial partners to handle compute needs.
TeraWulf's Hawesville property, a former industrial site with over 250 buildable acres, includes immediate access to 480 megawatts (MW) of power, including an on-site substation and high-voltage transmission lines. The firm said the location puts it within reach of major Midwest markets and offers a relatively fast path to deploying new compute capacity. The company expects to develop the site in phases.
In Maryland, TeraWulf picked up the Morgantown Generating Station, a 210 MW power facility with expansion potential to 1 GW. The site is already delivering electricity to the grid and could eventually host 500 MW of compute infrastructure in the first buildout phase, the firm said.
The company said it aims to pair any future computing activity with added power generation to keep the site net-positive for the grid.
TeraWulf now operates across five sites and is targeting 250 to 500 MW of new contracted capacity each year.

Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground?

For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
