Bitcoin miner TeraWulf is reportedly seeking $3.5 billion in debt financing led by Morgan Stanley for its Kentucky data center campus leased by AI company Anthropic.
US-listed Bitcoin mining company TeraWulf is reportedly seeking to raise $3.5 billion in debt to expand its Justified Data campus in Kentucky, a facility leased by artificial intelligence company Anthropic under a long-term agreement.
The deal is expected to launch this year, with investment bank Morgan Stanley leading the financing effort, TeraWulf chief financial officer Patrick Fleury said, according to a Thursday Bloomberg report.
The deal could include leveraged loans and high-yield bonds, marking TeraWulf’s first entry into the leveraged loan market, the report stated.
The news comes days after TeraWulf signed a 20-year lease agreement with Anthropic for the Kentucky facility, showing how demand for AI computing capacity is creating new funding opportunities for data center operators.
TeraWulf’s previous financing activity includes multibillion-dollar offerings
The Justified Data campus in Hawesville, Kentucky, is being developed as a large-scale data center project to support AI computing workloads, with initial operations expected in the second half of 2027 and full buildout targeted for early 2028.
The facility is expected to generate about $19 billion in contracted revenue over the initial lease term with Anthropic, according to TeraWulf.

The $3.5 billion debt raise follows the company’s previous financing offerings, where it raised $1.3 billion in December 2025 and $3.2 billion in October 2025.

TeraWulf faces concerns over insider transactions and growth model
TeraWulf has recently drawn investor questions over insider stock sales, shareholder alignment and broader concerns over the company’s growth model.
On Thursday, Bitcoin mining advisory company Blocksbridge Consulting highlighted TeraWulf as an example of the investor scrutiny around insider stock sales at Bitcoin mining companies that have benefited from AI-related momentum.

TeraWulf has also faced questions over the economics of its AI data center model. In a McNallie Money podcast on Tuesday, Fleury pushed back against a short-seller’s model that estimated higher maintenance costs for TeraWulf’s data centers. He argued that the company’s role is to provide power and facility infrastructure, while customers are responsible for their computing equipment and technology upgrades.

Fleury said the company’s long-term lease structure limits the recurring upgrades and reconfiguration costs typically associated with data centers.
