Bitcoin Miner TeraWulf Faces Revenue Decline in Q2 2024
Tuesday. August 13 at 7:30 AM
1 min. readBitcoin mining company TeraWulf reported a 21% decrease in Bitcoin mined in the second quarter of 2024, leading to lower earnings than expected. Despite generating $35.6 million in revenue, slightly surpassing estimates, the firm posted a quarterly loss of $0.03 per share, missing projections. The cost to mine Bitcoin surged by 243% year over year, attributed to increased network difficulty and the Bitcoin Halving event. TeraWulf plans to venture into high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, with a new facility expected to add 50 MW of capacity by early 2025. The company's strategic officer hinted at potential mergers to enhance profitability, following industry consolidation efforts like Riot Blockchain's failed takeover bid for Bitfarms. This development reflects ongoing challenges and opportunities in the evolving cryptocurrency mining landscape.
