TeraWulf reports a $61.4 million loss in Q1 2025. Bitcoin halving impacts mining profitability. Severe New York weather affects operations. TeraWulf has reported a significant financial loss of $61.4 million for the first quarter of 2025. This financial downturn is attributed to the recent Bitcoin halving and adverse weather conditions that affected operations in New York. TeraWulf Reports $61.4 Million Loss Amid Rising Costs TeraWulf’s financial report reveals its net loss for Q1 2025 surged to $61.4 million, up from $9.6 million in 2024. The company reported revenue of $34.4 million with costs rising to $24.5 million, constituting 71.4% of total revenue. Bitcoin halving and increased network difficulty were cited as primary causes.
