How we checked this
Checked on September 25, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The source says 'Google's $1.8B lease backstop and equity stake,' which most naturally ties the $1.8B figure to the backstop. It does not say Google provided $1.8B in total across both. A lease backstop is a guarantee rather than money paid to TeraWulf.
Confirmed in the source:
- Google has a lease backstop and an equity stake connected to TeraWulf
- The article describes these as investments from marquee players
- A $1.8B figure is attached to Google's lease backstop
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- Google provided $1.8B to TeraWulf as a combined investment covering both the lease backstop and the equity stake
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
