The jump followed news that the company signed two 10-year AI hosting agreements with Fluidstack, establishing itself as a serious player in hyperscale digital infrastructure. The contracts, valued at $3.7 billion with potential to reach $8.7 billion, will support over 200 megawatts of liquid-cooled IT load at its Lake Mariner data center.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"977\" data-start=\"695\">The broader market traded flat by comparison. The S&amp;P 500 inched up 0.03%, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped by 0.01%. Investors showed modest appetite for risk across tech and AI sectors, while TeraWulf bucked the trend with its sector-defining announcement.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1257\" data-start=\"979\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/financials\/cryptocurrency-stocks\/how-to-mine\/?utm_source=globeandmail&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=9a6e539c-f6d6-4d2a-86e3-da2c57396351\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Crypto mining<\/a> peers posted mixed results. MARA Holdings(NASDAQ: MARA) dipped 0.7% to $15.75, while Riot Platforms(NASDAQ: RIOT) gained 5.7% to close at $12.25. Still, neither matched the intensity of TeraWulf&#8217;s rally, which reflected the company&#8217;s strategic pivot beyond mining.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1666\" data-start=\"1259\">The game-changing news: Alphabet&#8217;s Google will backstop $1.8 billion of Fluidstack&#8217;s lease obligations in support of the project and receive warrants for roughly 8% equity in TeraWulf. With AI infrastructure demand surging, this partnership aligns WULF with a Tier 1 hyperscaler and signals major institutional confidence. The move could fundamentally reshape TeraWulf&#8217;s long-term trajectory &#8212; and investors took notice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\" data-end=\"1848\" data-start=\"1507\">Market data sourced from Google Finance and Yahoo!
