Where it stands

TeraWulf sold its entire 50.1% interest in the Abernathy Joint Venture, which owns the Abernathy HPC Campus, to a Fluidstack-led investor group effective July 6, 2026, for about $530 million paid in installments. An analyst report refers to the campus as a 168 MW program. None of the passages say how much capacity at the campus is operating or under construction, so the MW fields reflect only that program size.

168 MW planned

Site intelligence

Analytical estimate. Each site below is located from public records (filings, releases, news, OpenStreetMap) and checked against free satellite imagery; "How we located this site" lists every step and the score it earned. The conclusion is computed from night-time lights, surface heat and year-over-year change, with the dates it rests on. These are hypotheses under active tracking, not legal parcels or an official endorsement.

Approximate address 1421 Farm to Market Rd 54, Abernathy, TX 79311, USA Reverse-geocoded from the candidate centroid; not a permit-confirmed parcel address.
Conclusion so far Operating: the site is lit at night like a running facility. · confidence 75%
Running: night-time lights at the site ran 8.02x the surrounding area (11 of 13 clear nights, 2026-06-24 to 2026-09-17); surface temperature +0.2 K against its surroundings (13 pass(es), 2026-06-21 to 2026-10-16); radar backscatter moved +3.4 dB in a year. Based on 58 clear observation(s) from 2026-06-21 to 2026-10-19.
What would change this: Lights going dark over several clear nights.
