Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Patrick Fleury, CFO of TeraWulf, joins us to talk about WULF’s Q3 where they booked their first AI revenue at $7.2 million, signed AI deals with FluidStack and Core42, and how they're balancing their debt structure. Patrick also drops a provocative warning about Bitcoin's security: with US hashrate potentially dropping from 40% to just 5-10% by 2028, Bitmain could become the largest miner controlled by China, creating the only real vulnerability in Bitcoin's network.
