TeraWulf disclosed a joint venture with Fluidstack (TeraWulf about 50.1%, rising to up to 51%) for a 168 MW critical IT campus on about 120 acres in Abernathy, with a 25-year lease to a Fluidstack unit worth about $9.5 billion and a $1.3 billion Google backstop on the lease.

Conflicts and open questions
- County not confirmed: Abernathy lies in both Hale and Lubbock counties, and no opened source (TeraWulf releases and 8-K, The Block, Data Center Dynamics) names the county of this site. Hale is provisional.
- Coordinates are the Abernathy town area.
- The 8-K says the joint venture's hyperscale credit support is Google's lease backstop; the end user of the computing capacity is not named in an opened source.
- Reports have linked Anthropic to Fluidstack's Texas capacity, but no opened, dated source ties Anthropic to this site; TeraWulf's July 2026 Anthropic lease is at its Kentucky campus.
- As of TeraWulf's Aug. 5, 2026 quarterly release the stake sale had not been reported closed; developer lists both companies until it does.
