Transition to AI: New Horizons for TeraWulf

Increase in Bitcoin Mining Costs
According to a recent report by CoinShares, the cost to mine Bitcoin increased by 13%, reaching $55,950 in Q3 2024. This rise in costs has caused many miners, including TeraWulf, to lose market share, prompting a strategic shift towards AI projects.
