Senior Secured Notes
On October 22, 2025, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Wulf Compute LLC (“Wulf Compute”), completed a private offering of $3,200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Secured Notes”). The 2030 Secured Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2030. The net proceeds of the 2030 Secured Notes are being used to finance a portion of the cost of the HPC buildout at the Lake Mariner Data Campus.
Principal payments on the 2030 Secured Notes are due on a semi-annual basis on April 15 and October 15 of each year following completion of the initial phase of the Lake Mariner Data Campus buildout. The Company is also required to make an offer to holders to repurchase the 2030 Secured Notes based on excess cash flows, as defined, on or before each semiannual payment date. Interest payments are due in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2026.
The 2030 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Wulf Compute’s subsidiaries, La Lupa Data LLC, Akela Data Holdings LLC and Akela Data LLC (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The 2030 Secured Notes and related guarantees are secured by first-priority liens on (i) substantially all the assets of Wulf Compute and the Guarantors, other than certain excluded property, (ii) all equity interests of Wulf Compute held by Brookings, the direct parent company of Wulf Compute, and (iii) a designated lockbox account of Fluidstack. Additionally, in connection with the 2030 Secured Notes, Google and the Company entered into a pledge agreement. Under the pledge agreement, Google assigned and pledged to the collateral agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the lenders, and granted to the collateral agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the lenders, a security interest in all of Google’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Google Warrants. The security interests associated with the Google Warrants shall automatically terminate and/or be released upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of the commencement date of the respective Fluidstack HPC Leases and the (ii) the payment and discharge in full of the 2030 Secured Notes.
In connection with the 2030 Secured Notes, an affiliate of Google unconditionally agreed with the collateral agent for the benefit of the lenders that it shall (or shall cause Google to) pay the Termination Fee in accordance with the timing requirements set forth in the respective Google Recognition Agreements.
The Company has provided customary completion guarantees with respect to the HPC buildout at the Lake Mariner Data Campus under which it will fund Wulf Compute as necessary to ensure the timely completion of the HPC data center buildings.
The Company may redeem some or all of the 2030 Secured Notes at any time on or after October 15, 2027 at the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to October 15, 2027, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2030 Secured Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium set forth in the agreement. Prior to October 15, 2027, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Secured Notes (which includes additional notes, if any) in an amount not to exceed the amount of the proceeds of certain equity offerings at set redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Certain events, as described in the 2030 Secured Notes, required mandatory prepayment.
The 2030 Secured Notes related guarantees rank (i) equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Wulf Compute and the Guarantors, (ii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of the Wulf Compute and the Guarantors that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2030 Secured Notes, (iii) effectively senior to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of Wulf Compute and the Guarantors to the extent of the value of the Collateral, (iv) effectively senior to all existing and future indebtedness of Wulf Compute and the Guarantors secured by a junior-priority lien on the collateral, to the extent of the value of the collateral, (v) effectively junior to all indebtedness of Wulf Compute and the Guarantors that is secured by assets not constituting collateral, to the extent of the value of such assets, and (vi) structurally subordinated to all obligations of each of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that is not a guarantor of the 2030 Senior Notes.
The 2030 Secured Notes contain certain customary negative covenants. The negative covenants restrict or limit Wulf Compute to, among other things, incur debt, create liens, divest or acquire assets and make distributions or pay dividends. The 2030 Secured Notes also contain usual and customary events of default (subject to certain threshold amounts and grace periods). If an event of a default occurs and is continuing, the then outstanding obligations under the 2030 Secured Notes may become immediately due and payable.
In connection with the offering, the Company incurred issuance costs and up-front fees, totaling $105.4 million. These amounts represented debt issuance costs which are being amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the term of the 2030 Secured Notes. The 2030 Secured Notes have an effective interest rate of 8.7% which includes the stated interest of 7.75%.
Loan, Guarantee and Security Agreement (the “LGSA”)
On December 1, 2021, the Company entered into the LGSA with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent, which consisted of total Term Loans of $146.0 million (the “Term Loans”) with an interest rate of 11.5% and a maturity date of December 1, 2024.
Subsequent to an amendment to the LGSA in March 2023 (the “Fifth Amendment”), the Company was required to pay amounts subject to an excess cash flow sweep, as defined, on a quarterly basis which automatically extended to the maturity of the Term Loans in the event the Company repaid at least $40.0 million of the principal balance of the Term Loans by April 1, 2024, which the Company did in February 2024. Interest payments were due quarterly in arrears prior to the Fifth Amendment and were due monthly in arrears subsequent to the Fifth Amendment. The Company had the option to prepay all or any portion of the Term Loans in increments of at least $5.0 million subject to certain prepayment fees equal to an amount of 2.0% of the prepaid principal, applicable to approximately 85% of the outstanding principal. Certain events, as described in the LGSA, required mandatory prepayment.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid $6.6 million of the principal balance in accordance with the excess cash flow sweep. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repaid $139.4 million of the principal balance, including voluntary prepayments of $74.5 million. In connection with the voluntary prepayments, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6.3 million which is included in the consolidated statement of operations, consisting of $1.3 million of prepayment fees and the immediate write-off of $5.0 million of unamortized debt discount associated with the principal repaid. The Company fully repaid the principal balance of the Term Loans in July 2024.
In connection with the Term Loans under the LGSA, the Company issued to the holders of the Term Loans certain shares of Common Stock, warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and incurred issuance costs and up-front fees, which included $29.8 million in December 2021 in connection with the original issuance, $3.5 million in July 2022 in connection with the first amendment of the LGSA, $2.9 million in October 2022 in connection with the third amendment of the LGSA, and $16.0 million in March 2023 in connection with the Fifth Amendment. These amounts represented debt issuance costs and debt discount which were being amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the term of the LGSA.
LGSA Warrants
In 2022, in connection with the first and third amendments of the LGSA, the Company issued warrants to the lenders to purchase 8,455,410 shares of Common Stock at $0.01 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 0, 0 and 2,740,587 warrants, respectively, issued in connection with the LGSA were exercised for issuance of the same number of shares of Common Stock for aggregate proceeds to the Company of $0, $0, and $27,000, respectively.
In March 2023, in connection with the Fifth Amendment to the LGSA the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) to issue the following warrants to the lenders: (i) 27,759,265 warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 10.0% of the fully diluted equity of the Company as of the Fifth Amendment effective date with an exercise price of $0.01 per share of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Penny Warrants”) and (ii) 13,879,630 warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the fully diluted equity of the Company as of the Fifth Amendment effective date with an exercise price of $1.00 per share of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Dollar Warrants”). The Penny Warrants were exercisable during the period beginning on April 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2025, and the Dollar Warrants are exercisable during the period beginning on April 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2026. In March 2023, in connection with the issuance of the warrants pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide customary shelf and piggyback registration rights to the LGSA lenders with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants described above.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, 5,445,316 warrants issued in connection with the LGSA were exercised for issuance of the same number of shares of Common Stock, comprising 141,726 Penny Warrants and 5,303,590 Dollar
Warrants, for aggregate proceeds to the Company of $5.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 31,534,861 warrants issued in connection with the LGSA were exercised for issuance of the same number of shares of Common Stock, comprising 27,617,539 Penny Warrants and 3,917,322 Dollar Warrants, for aggregate proceeds to the Company of $4.2 million.
All warrants granted by the Company as a component of debt transactions are classified as equity in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

2030 Convertible Notes
In October 2024, the Company completed a private offering of 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”). The 2030 Convertible Notes, which are unsecured, were sold under a purchase agreement entered into by and between the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) as representative of the initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), for resale to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The aggregate principal amount of notes sold in the offering was $500.0 million, which included $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued pursuant to an option to purchase additional notes granted to the Initial Purchasers under the purchase agreement, which the Initial Purchasers exercised in full. The notes were issued at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were approximately $487.1 million after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ commissions and offering expenses of $12.9 million in total. The 2030 Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 3.3% which includes the stated interest of 2.75% that is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2025.
The 2030 Convertible Notes will mature on February 1, 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted by the noteholders or redeemed or repurchased by the Company. The initial conversion rate of the 2030 Convertible Notes was 117.9245 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.48 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events specified in the indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest on any 2030 Convertible Notes being converted. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined) during the make-whole fundamental change period (as defined), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by the number of additional shares described in the indenture to the
2030 Convertible Notes for a holder that elects to convert such holders’ 2030 Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. As of December 31, 2025, there have been no changes to the initial conversion rate.
Before November 1, 2029, noteholders will have the right to convert their 2030 Convertible Notes only upon the occurrence of the following events:
•during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after March 31, 2025, if the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day (the “2030 Sale Price Conversion Event”);
•during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price, as defined, per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock and the conversion rate on such trading day;
•if the Company calls any or all of the 2030 Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2030 Convertible Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or
•upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events as set forth in the indenture governing the 2030 Convertible Notes.
In October 2025, the 2030 Convertible Notes became convertible at the option of the holder based on the achievement of the 2030 Sale Price Conversion Event. Accordingly, the 2030 Convertible Notes are classified as short-term convertible notes in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. Upon conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election. The 2030 Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 6, 2027, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time (as set forth in the indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes). The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On or after November 1, 2029, noteholders may convert all or any portion of their 2030 Convertible Notes at any time at their option until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the 2030 Convertible Notes Maturity Date.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Convertible Notes) occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2030 Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s Common Stock.
In connection with the offering of the 2030 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the “2030 Capped Calls”). The 2030 Capped Calls, which terminate on February 1, 2030 (the “Capped Calls Termination Date”), each have an initial strike price of $8.48 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which correspond to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The 2030 Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $12.80 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The 2030 Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes, and are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Common Stock upon any conversion of 2030 Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2030 Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, based on the cap price of the 2030 Capped Calls. The conditions that cause adjustments to the initial strike price of the 2030 Capped Calls mirror the conditions that result in corresponding adjustments for the 2030 Convertible Notes. The 2030 Capped Calls automatically
exercise in daily ratable amounts between December 5, 2029 and the Capped Calls Termination Date. Additionally, upon the repurchase, redemption or conversion of a quantity of 2030 Convertible Notes, the Company may, but is not required to, effect an early termination of the number of Capped Call options in proportion to such 2030 Convertible Notes repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Company may elect cash settlement or combination settlement, which includes shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. For accounting purposes, the 2030 Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the 2030 Convertible Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the 2030 Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $60.0 million incurred in connection with the 2030 Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.
The indenture governing the 2030 Convertible Notes contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the trustee, as defined, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2030 Convertible Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, on all the 2030 Convertible Notes to be due and payable.
2031 Convertible Notes
In August 2025, the Company completed a private offering of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Convertible Notes”). The unsecured notes were sold pursuant to a purchase agreement between the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers (the “Initial 2031 Purchasers”), for resale to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The total aggregate principal amount of the offering was $1,000.0 million, including $150.0 million issued pursuant to the Initial 2031 Purchasers’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional notes. The 2031 Convertible Notes were issued at par, and net proceeds totaled approximately $975.3 million after deducting $24.7 million in purchasers’ commissions and offering expenses. The 2031 Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 10.9% which includes the stated interest of 1.00% that is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2026.
The 2031 Convertible Notes mature on September 1, 2031 (the “2031 Convertible Notes Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate is 80.4602 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.43 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the indenture. The conversion rate will not be adjusted for accrued but unpaid interest.
In the event of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), the Company may be required to increase the conversion rate for holders that elect to convert their notes during the designated make-whole fundamental change period. As of December 31, 2025, there were no changes to the initial conversion rate.
Prior to June 1, 2031, holders may convert their notes only upon the occurrence of specific conditions, including:
•If, during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2025, the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock is at least 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 out of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the preceding quarter;
•During the five business days following any 10 consecutive trading-day measurement period in which the trading price of the 2031 Convertible Notes was less than 98% of the product of the Common Stock price and the conversion rate on each trading day;
•If the Company calls any or all of the 2031 Convertible Notes for redemption prior to the scheduled redemption date; or
•Upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events, as defined in the indenture
Upon conversion, the Company may settle the 2031 Convertible Notes in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at its election. The Company’s ability to elect to settle conversions in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock was subject to its receipt of stockholder approval for an increase in the number of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock. As of closing of the 2031 Convertible Notes in August 2025, the Company was not
initially allowed to elect combination settlement (cash and shares of Common Stock) until after the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, subject to stockholder approval, such that the conversion feature was required to be bifurcated from the 2031 Convertible Notes and accounted for separately as a derivative liability of $410.6 million. The Company recognized the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $100.6 million which is included in change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. On September 30, 2025, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock such that the Company may elect combination settlement (cash and shares of Common Stock) such that the conversion feature met the criteria for equity classification and the Company reclassified the fair value of the derivative liability of $511.2 million to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet.
Beginning September 6, 2028, the Company may redeem the 2031 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, for cash, provided the Common Stock trades above 130% of the conversion price for a specified period, as outlined in the indenture. The redemption price will equal the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the redemption date.
On or after June 1, 2031, holders may convert their notes at any time until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
If a “Fundamental Change” occurs, as defined in the indenture—including certain business combinations or delisting events—holders may require the Company to repurchase all or part of their notes at 100% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In connection with the offering, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2031 Capped Calls”) with certain counterparties. The 2031 Capped Calls have a strike price of $12.43 per share and an initial cap price of $18.76 per share, each subject to adjustment. They cover the same number of shares initially underlying the 2031 Convertible Notes and are intended to reduce potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments the Company may be required to make above the principal amount upon conversion.
The 2031 Capped Calls will automatically settle or exercise in daily ratable amounts between July 2, 2031, and August 28, 2031, if such capped calls are in-the-money. In the event of a repurchase, redemption, or conversion of the 2031 Convertible Notes, the Company may—but is not obligated to—terminate a corresponding portion of the 2031 Capped Calls options. The Company may elect cash settlement or combination settlement, which includes shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The 2031 Capped Calls are accounted for as separate equity transactions and not as derivatives. The $100.6 million cost of the 2031 Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.
The indenture includes customary covenants and events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount may declare the 2031 Convertible Notes immediately due and payable.
2032 Convertible Notes
In October 2025, the Company completed a private offering of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Convertible Notes”). The unsecured notes were sold pursuant to a purchase agreement between the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers (the “Initial 2032 Purchasers”), for resale to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The total aggregate principal amount of the offering was $1,025.0 million, including $125.0 million issued pursuant to the Initial 2032 Purchasers full exercise of their option to purchase additional notes. The 2032 Convertible Notes were issued at par, and net proceeds totaled approximately $998.4 million after deducting $26.6 million in purchasers’ commissions and offering expenses. The 2032 Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 0.4% and do not bear regular interest.
The 2032 Convertible Notes mature on May 1, 2032 (the “2032 Convertible Notes Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate is 50.1567 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal
amount, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $19.94 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the indenture. The conversion rate will not be adjusted for accrued but unpaid special interest.
In the event of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), the Company may be required to increase the conversion rate for holders that elect to convert their notes during the designated make-whole fundamental change period. As of December 31, 2025, there were no changes to the initial conversion rate.
Prior to February 1, 2032, holders may convert their notes only upon the occurrence of specific conditions, including:
•If, during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2025, the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock is at least 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 out of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the preceding quarter;
•During the five business days following any 10 consecutive trading-day measurement period in which the trading price of the 2031 Convertible Notes was less than 98% of the product of the Common Stock price and the conversion rate on each trading day;
•If the Company calls any or all of the 2032 Convertible Notes for redemption prior to the scheduled redemption date; or
•Upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events, as defined in the indenture
Upon conversion of the 2032 Convertible Notes, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election. The 2032 Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 6, 2027, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time (as set forth in the Indenture to the 2032 Convertible Notes). The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2032 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On or after February 1, 2032, noteholders may convert all or any portion of their 2032 Convertible Notes at any time at their option until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the 2032 Convertible Notes Maturity Date.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the indenture governing the 2032 Convertible Notes) occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2032 Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s Common Stock.
The indenture includes customary covenants and events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount may declare the 2032 Convertible Notes immediately due and payable.
