TeraWulf Announces Full Deployment of 50 MW at the Nautilus Bitcoin Mining Facility Ahead of Schedule

• First behind-the-meter Bitcoin mining facility powered by 100% nuclear power in the U.S.
• TeraWulf benefits from a fixed power cost of only $0.02 per kilowatt hour for a term of five years at the Nautilus facility
• Company remains on target to deliver 5.5 EH/s (50,000 miners, 160 MW) across its two sites in Q2’23

EASTON, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”), owners and operators of vertically integrated, domestic Bitcoin mining facilities powered by more than 91% zero-carbon energy, today announced that the Company has now fully energized its 50-MW stake in the Nautilus Cryptomine facility, a joint venture with Cumulus Coin, LLC.

The Nautilus facility represents the first behind-the-meter Bitcoin mining facility of its kind, directly sourcing reliable, carbon-free, 24×7 baseload power from the 2.5 GW Susquehanna nuclear generation station in Pennsylvania. The Company successfully deployed its full share in phase one of the facility – 50 MW and 1.9 EH/s – ahead of schedule. TeraWulf has the option to add an additional 50 MW of mining capacity at the Nautilus facility, which the Company plans to deploy in future phases.

With TeraWulf’s stake in the Nautilus facility now fully ramped to 50 MW, the Company currently has an operating hashrate of 4 EH/s, reflecting a nearly 100% increase year to date. TeraWulf has an operational fleet of approximately 34,500 of the latest generation miners, comprised of 18,500 miners at its wholly owned Lake Mariner facility in New York (5,000 of which are hosted) and 16,000 self-miners at the nuclear-powered Nautilus facility in Pennsylvania.

“Our team has been working swiftly and diligently to achieve our stated goal of reaching 5.5 EH/s of operational mining capacity in Q2 2023,” said Paul Prager, Chairman and CEO of TeraWulf. “Deploying 50 MW of mining capacity at the Nautilus facility is an important milestone for the Company. Not only does it represent the first nuclear-powered Bitcoin mining facility in the U.S., but TeraWulf now has the opportunity to realize the economic advantage of 50 MW of zero-carbon mining at what is arguably the lowest contracted power cost in the sector – just $0.02/kWh for a term of five years,” continued Prager.

In addition to the 50 MW of self-mining capacity online now at Nautilus, TeraWulf currently has 60 MW operational at Lake Mariner and is in final stages of construction on Building 2, which will increase Lake Mariner’s operational capacity to over 110 MW in the coming weeks. Combined, the Company expects to have a total operational capacity of 50,000 miners (5.5 EH/s) in Q2 2023, representing approximately 160 MW of power demand.

About TeraWulf

TeraWulf (Nasdaq: WULF) owns and operates vertically integrated, environmentally clean Bitcoin mining facilities in the United States. Led by an experienced group of energy entrepreneurs, the Company currently has two Bitcoin mining facilities: the wholly owned Lake Mariner facility in New York, and the Nautilus Cryptomine facility in Pennsylvania, a joint venture with Cumulus Coin, LLC. TeraWulf generates domestically produced Bitcoin powered by nuclear, hydro, and solar energy with a goal of utilizing 100% zero-carbon energy. With a core focus on ESG that ties directly to its business success, TeraWulf expects to offer attractive mining economics at an industrial scale.

Digital Advertising Industry Veteran Joins DoubleVerify to Spearhead Attention Division’s Expansion

Daniel Slotwiner will lead all attention efforts at DV, from product innovation to commercialization and the development of industry research and performance insights

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), a leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced the appointment of Daniel Slotwiner to Senior Vice President of Attention. In this role, Slotwiner will oversee all attention initiatives at DV including product innovation, go-to-market strategy and commercialization activities, as well as the development of attention-based industry research and campaign performance insights and recommendations.

“As advertisers face economic uncertainty, the need to understand and improve media outcomes is essential,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO, DoubleVerify. “That’s why some of the world’s largest brands are using DV’s MRC-accredited Authentic Attention solution to measure and optimize campaign performance. The appointment of Daniel as head of attention further solidifies our commitment to helping our clients leverage attention to improve media outcomes. Daniel brings over two decades of experience in performance measurement and ad effectiveness that has helped hundreds of the world’s top brands drive bottom-line results.”

As the Director of Advertising Research at Facebook for ten years, Slotwiner led a team in evaluating ad effectiveness and improving performance for advertisers. Previously, at Google, he focused on competitive research and panel-based measurement solutions. Most recently, Slotwiner served as VP of Measurement, Insights, and Product Marketing Manager at GoPuff, helping the company activate its data for its retail media business.

“DoubleVerify is ubiquitous in the advertising ecosystem and is well-positioned to drive actionable, attention-based measurement,” said Slotwiner. “I am excited to take DV’s Attention solutions to the next level and help drive campaign performance for brands and agencies, while being part of a dynamic and growing team at DV.”

Traditional KPIs like viewability and clicks fail to determine an ad’s impact on viewers, while regulatory changes and the deprecation of personal identifiers are challenging existing audience targeting methods. To address these issues, advertisers are turning to attention metrics as a means to gauge ad presentation, user engagement and campaign performance.

In his new role, Daniel will also lead the DV Attention Lab™ – a multidisciplinary team consisting of data scientists, product experts, and marketing analysts tasked with providing advertisers with sophisticated, attention-based insights and recommendations on campaign performance, and promulgating industry benchmark reports, best practice guides, illustrative case studies, and more.

“We launched the DV Attention Lab™ with the goal of helping advertisers unlock actionable attention data to maximize campaign performance,” Zagorsk continued. “Daniel is also well positioned to lead the DV Attention Lab™ and develop attention-based measurement insights and research to inform campaign optimization strategies for the global brands DV serves.”

DV Attention Lab™ launched in October of 2022 and is powered by DV Authentic Attention^Ⓡ – an MRC-accredited, performance solution that analyzes over 50 data points on a digital ad’s exposure and the consumer’s engagement with a digital ad and device – in real time. DV Authentic Attention^Ⓡ assesses an ad’s entire presentation for exposure, quantifying its intensity and prominence through metrics like viewable time, share of screen, video presentation, audibility, and more. For engagement, DV Authentic Attention^Ⓡ examines key user-initiated events that occur while the ad creative is displayed, including user touches, screen orientation, video playback, and audio control interactions.
