Nazar Khan, co-founder and chief technology officer of TeraWulf, has been discussing the company's expansion from Bitcoin mining into AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. In interviews, he described TeraWulf's development of its Lake Mariner campus in New York from a two-megawatt pilot into a large-scale data center site, noting that the company signed a 370 MW deal with FluidStack and Google after demonstrating its construction capabilities. Khan also discussed TeraWulf's agreement with Anthropic and the company's plans for sites in Kentucky and Maryland, stating that the company is targeting 480 MW of capacity in Kentucky by the second half of 2027. Khan has also commented on industry-wide topics, including data center moratoriums in New York, the economics of AI versus Bitcoin mining, and the role of flexible loads in grid reliability. He stated that TeraWulf's contracted capacity in New York would not be affected by a moratorium but raised questions about future demand in other jurisdictions. He also said that the capital cost of building AI data centers is significantly higher than Bitcoin mining facilities, citing figures of $7-8 million per megawatt for AI infrastructure compared to about $500,000 per megawatt for mining. Khan has argued that Bitcoin miners can help lower electricity costs by increasing grid utilization and that miners should avoid adding to peak demand.

That price tag sent shockwaves across markets. OpenAI, Google, and others are spending billions to train their AI models. If cutting-edge AI can be built this cheaply, what does that mean for the infrastructure powering it? Enter TeraWulf.
