$WULF targets 250-500 MW of new HPC signings each year, and still plans to mine Bitcoin through at least the end of 2026. The following guest post comes from BitcoinMiningStock.io, a public markets intelligence platform delivering data on companies exposed to Bitcoin mining and crypto treasury strategies. Originally published on Nov. 13, 2025, by Cindy Feng. It’s earnings season again, and while many companies had interesting updates, TeraWulf’s Q3 2025 call really caught my attention.

UK prosecutors on Monday announced a British man linked to a massive 2020 Twitter hack is being forced to hand over millions in Bitcoin. Joseph James O’Connor, 26, has been ordered to repay £4.1 million ($5.4 million) in crypto tied to the scheme. The infamous Twitter breach saw the accounts of Barack Obama, Elon Musk, and other global figures hijacked. O’Connor, now 26, pleaded guilty in the United States last year to multiple charges. This included computer intrusion, wire fraud, extortion, and cyberstalking. However, he is serving a five-year prison sentence. He was arrested in Spain in 2021 and later…

With the arrival of winter in the United States and the consequent rise in energy bills, most Americans still rely on traditional sources such as gas, heating oil, or electric heaters to warm their homes. However, a small but growing segment of pioneers is experimenting with an alternative solution: using the heat generated from Bitcoin mining to heat homes, offices, and even businesses. The principle is simple: the computational power required for Bitcoin mining produces a significant amount of heat, which is often simply dissipated into the air. According to the analysis by digital assets brokerage K33, the Bitcoin mining…

Bitcoin holders are still the true “diamond hands” investors compared to Ethereum buyers, according to a new report, with the latter coins being moved and spent far more than the original so-called digital gold. Blockchain data firm Glassnode said in a new report—citing data collected before this week’s crypto crash—that BTC moves less frequently than ETH, behaving more like a “digital savings asset.”  ETH moves far more as it functions as “digital oil,” which is both stockpiled and actively used as network fuel and collateral.   “Bitcoin behaves like the digital savings asset it was designed to be, in that…

The Trump administration is one step closer to approving rules that would allow the IRS to gain key information about Americans’ foreign crypto accounts, and use it to tax such holdings. Proposed rules from the Treasury Department regarding the United States’ cooperation with an international crypto tax reporting framework reached the White House on Friday, according to a government website. The president’s advisors will now review the recommendation.  Earlier this year, the White House encouraged the Treasury Department and IRS to impose such rules, which would see the United States join the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, or CARF.  CARF, which…

Blockchain data analysis company Glassnode found that Bitcoin users continue to hold their coins tightly, whereas Ethereum holders are far more active in moving or cashing out their coins. In its report, the firm noted that BTC was starting to resemble a “digital savings asset,” seeing how it’s transferred far less often than Ethereum. In contrast, it compared ETH to digital oil, a token that’s both stored and constantly spent to power the network and back collateral. It wrote, “Bitcoin behaves like the digital savings asset it was designed to be, in that coins are largely hoarded, turnover is low,…

US President Donald Trump has confirmed the US is in an active trade war with China after threatening a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports last week. “Well, we’re in one now,” Trump said after being asked by White House reporters whether the US is preparing for a “sustained trade war with China.””If we didn’t have tariffs, we would be exposed as being a nothing, we would have no defense,” Trump explained, calling the tariffs an important measure for America’s national security. 🚨 JUST IN: President Trump declares the United States is in a TRADE WAR with China”We’re in one…
