Management Commentary

“During April, the Company mined 348 bitcoin or 11.6 BTC per day, a 5.0% decrease from March’s rate of bitcoin production. Bitcoin mined in April before the halving, which took place on April 19th, was 236 bitcoin or 68% of April’s total bitcoin production. A spike in transaction fees made up for most of the lost block subsidy in the week following the halving. We saw transaction fees fall to typical levels towards the end of April” said Sean Farrell, SVP of Operations at TeraWulf.

“Lake Mariner completed installation of the remaining Bitmain S19K Pro miners to increase fleet efficiency and improve performance. Elsewhere at Lake Mariner, construction on building 4 continues to progress on schedule with the completion of framing work on the building” continued Farrell.

Production and Operations Update

Operational infrastructure capacity at the Lake Mariner facility was 160 MW plus 50 MW at Nautilus with TeraWulf’s total self-mining hash rate at 8.0 EH/s. On average our miners operated at 98% of installed nameplate capacity.

Construction of Building 4 (35 MW) at the Lake Mariner facility remains on track to be completed by mid-2024, which is expected to further increase TeraWulf’s total operational capacity to approximately 10.0 EH/s.

As previously announced, the Company is finalizing the design for a large-scale, high-performance computing (HPC) / AI project at the Lake Mariner site and has committed an initial 2 MW block of power, capable of deploying thousands of the latest generation graphics processing units (GPUs). Lake Mariner has upgraded its internet interconnection to align with bandwidth requirements of AI, designed closed loop liquid cooling, and power supply for 100% redundancy in support of the project.

1 The Company’s share of the earnings or losses from operations at the Nautilus Cryptomine facility is reflected within “Equity in net income (loss) of investee, net of tax” in the consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, operating results of the Nautilus Cryptomine facility are not reflected in revenue, cost of revenue or cost of operations lines in TeraWulf’s consolidated statements of operations.  The Company uses these metrics as indictors of operational progress and effectiveness and believes they are useful to investors for the same purposes and to provide comparisons to peer companies.   All figures except Bitcoin Self-Mined are estimates and remain subject to standard month-end adjustments. 2 Includes TeraWulf’s net share of bitcoin mined at the Nautilus Cryptomine facility, based on hash rate share attributed to the Company.3 Computed as the weighted-average opening price of bitcoin on each respective day the Bitcoin Self-Mined is earned.4 While nameplate inventory as of April 30, 2024 for WULF’s two facilities is estimated at 8.0 EH/s, actual monthly hash rate 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.
