Source: TeraWulfAlso reported by Reuters

TeraWulf executed credit support agreements with Google LLC for debt financing that supports about $19 billion of contracted lease commitments with Anthropic at its Justified Data Campus in Hawesville, Kentucky. It also executed a definitive engineering, procurement and construction agreement with Fluor Enterprises for three data centre buildings at Justified. Phased ready-for-service completions are expected from late 2027 through the second quarter of 2028.

Why it matters

Once the Google backstop takes effect, if Anthropic defaults on rent or becomes insolvent, Google can pay the rent due and assume the lease.
