TeraWulf Stock Jumps After Anthropic's $19B AI Deal Validates Pivot
TeraWulf shares rallied after a $19B Anthropic deal signaled strong demand for its AI infrastructure play.
TeraWulf is having a moment. The crypto-mining company's stock surged after news broke of a $19 billion deal with Anthropic, the AI startup backed by Amazon. If you've been watching TeraWulf navigate its pivot away from pure Bitcoin mining toward AI infrastructure, this is the payoff trade you were waiting for.
The company's CEO came out swinging, calling the Anthropic deal a direct "validation" of TeraWulf's strategic shift.

Watch for more miners to announce similar pivots as this trade gets crowded fast.
