TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) company deep dive, first edition. Two PDFs — Chinese (67 pp) and English (81 pp) — each with 16 chapters plus 4 appendices, 12 figures and 56 data tables, cell-for-cell consistent across the two versions; every computed figure is derived in Appendix D. Reference date: close of 9 September 2026; financials as of 30 June 2026.
In twenty months the company turned itself from a bitcoin miner into a development-stage landlord of AI compute halls: $27.2bn of leases signed, $6.97bn raised, 73,580,000 penny warrants issued to Google. This report measures the distance between "signed" and "built": only $1.457bn (5.4%) is settled in the accounts, 102 MW (12%) is energized and billing, the remaining 737 MW needs $5.7–6.5bn with a $2.7–3.5bn gap; the Google backstop is sized to project debt, reaches zero in 2036 and covers 11.8% of contract value; Anthropic's $19bn shows no executed credit enhancement in the filings.
What the report delivers

| 4 | The Google recognition agreement clause by clause: triggers, three options, the six-year assumption obligation, where the fee goes; the year-by-year backstop amortization and coverage from 47.8% to 11.8%; warrant terms (exercisable before commencement, anti-dilution, pledge) |
| 6 | Power at five sites: the three 250 MW blocks confirmed in the NYISO public queue; the 482 MW supply agreement in the KY PSC docket and its two conditions precedent; $631m pledged at Muskie with no tenant; what the FERC order actually covers |
| 7, 8 | Three gross-margin bases; the net-loss-to-operating-cash-flow bridge; SBC at 235% of revenue; debt item by item with maturities; three ways to count 804m fully diluted shares; the funding gap on the company's own remaining-capex disclosure |

| 12, 13 | Two independent valuation paths, a three-scenario price ladder, probability bases against the options-implied distribution, the bridge from spot to target; certainty-layer table, bull/bear comparison, scenario-to-action map, entry and invalidation conditions |

Audit and revisions
After drafting, four adversarial audit tracks (financials and valuation / contracts, governance and power / tradability and conclusions / presentation and wording) raised 134 challenges; 25 substantive revisions are published in Appendix C, Table 56. Three deserve stating up front: ① the downside scenario was originally taken from a static DCF that assumed full contract performance — not the downside world — and has been rebuilt; ② the funding gap was originally a rough "un-energized MW × full cost" figure and now uses the company's own remaining-capex disclosure; ③ the description of the Cayuga lease's environmental clause pointed the wrong way and has been corrected to the lease text. The report publishes its own errors.
