Fact Check
The claim is directly and precisely confirmed by TeraWulf's own official investor relations press release ('TeraWulf Reports First Quarter 2026 Results'), which states Q1 2026 total revenue of $34.0 million with $21.0 million from HPC lease revenue. The implied digital asset (Bitcoin mining) revenue of approximately $13 million ($34M - $21M) is consistent with all secondary sources. The Block, crypto.news, and the Investing.com earnings call transcript all independently corroborate every figure in the claim. There is no conflicting evidence.
Summary

TeraWulf reported $34 million in first-quarter 2026 revenue, with about $21 million, or 60%, coming from AI computing and about $13 million from Bitcoin mining. Bitcoin mining revenue fell 50% quarter over quarter, while the company posted a $427 million net loss. TeraWulf said the results reflect its continued shift away from reliance on mining toward more stable contracted income from compute-related operations.
