The Nautilus plant is a true innovator in its industry, powered by over 91% zero-carbon energy. Early on, TeraWulf was able to complete the deployment of its whole portion of the first phase of the nuclear-powered Bitcoin mining plant, which has a 50 MW and 1.9 EH/s capacity.

The chairman and chief executive officer of TeraWulf, Paul Prager, said, “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.”
