This is essentially the deal between TeraWulf and Alphabet.Other crypto firms that are pushing into the A.I. data center space include Cipher Mining, which has struck a $1.4 billion U.S. agreement with Alphabet.WULF stock is up 98% this year and trading at $10.83 U.S. per share. Alphabet's stock has risen 30% year-to-date to trade at $246.54 U.S. per share.
