TeraWulf Inc. Announces Proposed Private Offering of $400 Million of Convertible Notes
TeraWulf (NASDAQ:WULF), a zero-carbon digital infrastructure company, has announced plans to offer $400 million in convertible senior notes due 2031 through a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. The company will also grant initial purchasers an option for an additional $60 million in notes.
The convertible notes will be senior unsecured obligations with semi-annual interest payments starting March 1, 2026. The notes will be convertible into cash for the principal amount, and either cash, common stock, or a combination thereof for any excess conversion value.

Insights
TeraWulf's $400M convertible note offering strengthens expansion capacity but increases debt load and potential dilution risk.
TeraWulf's proposed
The 2031 maturity provides long-term financing flexibility, while the semi-annual interest payments beginning March 2026 create a fixed obligation structure. Notably, the convertible nature creates a hybrid financing instrument that initially functions as debt but could eventually convert to equity under certain conditions.
The company's implementation of capped call transactions is a strategic move to mitigate potential dilution to existing shareholders upon conversion. These derivative contracts effectively raise the conversion premium, protecting shareholders from dilution up to a certain price threshold.
However, investors should recognize several important considerations: 1) This substantially increases TeraWulf's debt obligations, with interest payments becoming a fixed cost regardless of operational performance; 2) The conversion feature creates potential future dilution despite the capped call protection; 3) The need for stockholder approval to increase authorized shares indicates constraints on the company's current capital structure.
The market's initial reaction to this announcement will likely be influenced by the eventually disclosed conversion premium and interest rate terms, which will reveal the market's assessment of TeraWulf's credit quality and growth prospects in the digital infrastructure sector.
EASTON, Md., Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) (“TeraWulf� or the “Company�), a leading owner and operator of vertically integrated, predominantly zero-carbon digital infrastructure, today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors,
TeraWulf also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including the date on which the Convertible Notes are first issued, up to an additional
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions (as described below) with the remaining net proceeds used to finance a portion of the Company’s data center expansion and for general corporate purposes.
The Convertible Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest at a rate payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2026. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. Prior to June 1, 2031, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and thereafter, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
The Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash in respect of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted and cash, shares of the Company’s common stock (“common stock�) or a combination of cash and shares of the common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted. The Company’s ability to elect to settle conversions in shares of common stock will be subject to its receipt of stockholder approval for an increase in the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate, interest rate and other terms of the Convertible Notes will be determined at the time of pricing in negotiations with the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes.
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes and/or other financial institutions (the “option counterparties�). If the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, the Company expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Convertible Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.
The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the common stock upon conversion of any Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Company expects the option counterparties or their respective affiliates to purchase shares of the common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the common stock or the Convertible Notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the common stock and/or purchasing or selling shares of the common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date for the capped call transactions or following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the Convertible Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of the common stock or the Convertible Notes, which could affect holders of the Convertible Notes� ability to convert the Convertible Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs following conversion of the Convertible Notes or during any observation period related to a conversion of the Convertible Notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that holders of the Convertible Notes will receive upon conversion of such Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act, securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and the Convertibles Notes and such shares of common stock may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Convertible Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Convertible Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Convertible Notes or common stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
