$100 million taxpayer funding request for Morgantown acquisition

Checked on September 18, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.

The article attributes the $100 million request to Public Citizen's contention in a regulatory filing and does not establish it as fact, whereas the claim states it outright.

Confirmed in the source:

• Public Citizen, in a June 4 filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, contends that nonpublic communications between Paul Prager and Gov. Wes Moore show TeraWulf was seeking $100 million in taxpayer money to help cover Morgantown acquisition costs

We could not confirm this from the cited source:

• That TeraWulf in fact sought $100 million in taxpayer money to help cover Morgantown acquisition costs (the article reports this only as Public Citizen's contention, and notes portions of the communications were redacted)

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.
