数据中心开发商TeraWulf（WULF.O）周三表示，已与Alphabet旗下谷歌（GOOGL.O）达成信贷担保协议，以支持其与Claude创建者Anthropic合作的数据中心项目的融资需求。
Data-center developer TeraWulf (WULF.O) said on Wednesday it has secured a credit backstop agreement with Alphabet's Google (GOOGL.O) to support financing needs for its data-center project with Claude creator Anthropic.
该公司还宣布与建筑和工程公司Fluor Enterprises扩大协议，共同开发位于肯塔基州Hawesville的数据中心场地。
The company also announced an expanded agreement with construction and engineering firm Fluor Enterprises for the development of the data-center site in Hawesville, Kentucky.
这项与谷歌的信贷协议是主要科技公司提供数十亿美元财务担保和背书、帮助包括新型云服务商和数据中心开发商在内的较小AI公司为昂贵的AI基础设施建设提供资金的最新例证。
The credit agreement with Google is the latest example of how major tech firms are providing multi-billion-dollar financial backstops and guarantees to help smaller AI companies, including neoclouds and data-center developers, fund the costly AI infrastructure build-out.
TeraWulf于7月与Anthropic签署了一份为期20年的数据中心基础设施租赁协议。该交易预计将为TeraWulf带来约190亿美元的合同收入。TeraWulf属于一批正从比特币挖矿转向提供关键AI基础设施的公司，以应对激增的需求。
TeraWulf had in July signed a 20-year lease with Anthropic for data-center infrastructure. The deal is expected to generate about $19 billion in contracted revenue for TeraWulf, which is among a group of companies that are shifting from bitcoin mining to providing critical AI infrastructure amid booming demand.
“强有力的投资级信用支持增强了项目的融资状况，以及我们寻求有竞争力的长期债务融资的能力，” TeraWulf首席财务官Patrick Fleury表示。
"Strong investment-grade credit support strengthens the project's financing profile and our ability to pursue competitive long-term debt," TeraWulf Chief Financial Officer Patrick Fleury said.
该园区预计将支持约401兆瓦的关键IT负载，初始产能预计于2027年下半年上线。
The campus is expected to support about 401 megawatts of critical IT load, with initial capacity expected online in the second half of 2027.
在盘前交易中，TeraWulf股价下跌约3%，这发生在AI数据中心股票普遍下滑之际，投资者正在评估民主党夺得国会控制权后可能出台更严格监管的可能性。
TeraWulf shares were down about 3% in premarket trading amid a broader slide in AI data-center stocks as investors assess the possibility of tighter regulation after Democrats seized control of Congress.
