Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include statements concerning anticipated future events and expectations that are not historical facts. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “goal,” “target,” “aim,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, although the absence of these words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of TeraWulf’s management and are inherently subject to a number of factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements based on a number of factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among others: (1) conditions in the cryptocurrency mining industry, including fluctuation in the market pricing of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and the economics of cryptocurrency mining, including as to variables or factors affecting the cost, efficiency and profitability of cryptocurrency mining; (2) competition among the various providers of cryptocurrency mining services; (3) changes in applicable laws, regulations and/or permits affecting TeraWulf’s operations or the industries in which it operates, including regulation regarding power generation, cryptocurrency usage and/or cryptocurrency mining; (4) the ability to implement certain business objectives and to timely and cost-effectively execute integrated projects; (5) failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and/or on acceptable terms with regard to growth strategies or operations; (6) loss of public confidence in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies and the potential for cryptocurrency market manipulation; (7) adverse geopolitical or economic conditions, including a high inflationary environment; (8) the potential of cybercrime, money-laundering, malware infections and phishing and/or loss and interference as a result of equipment malfunction or break-down, physical disaster, data security breach, computer malfunction or sabotage (and the costs associated with any of the foregoing); (9) the availability, delivery schedule and cost of equipment necessary to maintain and grow the business and operations of TeraWulf, including mining equipment and infrastructure equipment meeting the technical or other specifications required to achieve its growth strategy; (10) employment workforce factors, including the loss of key employees; (11) litigation relating to TeraWulf, RM 101 Inc. (f/k/a IKONICS Corporation) and/or the business combination; (12) potential differences between the unaudited results disclosed in this release and the Company’s final results when disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as a result of the completion of the Company’s final adjustments, annual audit by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and other developments arising between now and the disclosure of the final results; and (13) other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Potential investors, stockholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they were made. TeraWulf does not assume any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement after it was made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or regulation. Investors are referred to the full discussion of risks and uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements and the discussion of risk factors contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.

  Management Commentary    “During February, the Company mined 364 bitcoin, a 16% increase from January’s bitcoin production  despite a shorter month, due to full deployment of Building 3 at Lake Mariner,” said Sean Farrell, SVP of  Operations at TeraWulf.    “Energy pricing at Lake Mariner remained advantageous during the month. Even with Lake Mariner’s  participation in demand response during the month, we achieved an impressive overall fleet availability  of 95%,” continued Farrell.     Production and Operations Update    Operational infrastructure capacity at the Lake Mariner facility was 160 MW and TeraWulf’s total self‐ mining hashrate reached 7.9EH/s as of month‐end February. Construction of Building 4 (35 MW) at the  Lake Mariner facility remains on track to be completed by mid‐2024, which is expected to further  increase TeraWulf’s total operational capacity to approximately 10 EH/s.     As previously announced, the Company is pursuing a potential large‐scale, high‐performance computing  (HPC) project at the Lake Mariner site and has committed an initial 2 MW block of power, capable of  deploying thousands of the latest generation graphics processing units (GPUs).     About TeraWulf    TeraWulf owns and operates vertically integrated, environmentally clean bitcoin mining facilities in the  United States. Led by an experienced group of energy entrepreneurs, the Company currently has two  Bitcoin mining facilities: the wholly owned Lake Mariner facility in New York, and Nautilus Cryptomine  facility in Pennsylvania, a joint venture with Cumulus Coin, LLC. TeraWulf generates domestically  produced Bitcoin powered by 95% zero carbon energy resources including nuclear, hydro, and solar with  a goal of utilizing 100% zero‐carbon energy. With a core focus on ESG that ties directly to its business  success, TeraWulf expects to provide industry leading mining economics at an industrial scale.    Forward‐Looking Statements     This press release contains forward‐looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor”  provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such forward‐looking  statements include statements concerning anticipated future events and expectations that are not  historical facts. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be  deemed forward‐looking statements. In addition, forward‐looking statements are typically identified by  words such as “plan,” “believe,” “goal,” “target,” “aim,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,”  “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,”  “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, although the absence of these words or  expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward‐looking. Forward‐looking statements are  based on the current expectations and beliefs of TeraWulf’s management and are inherently subject to  a number of factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions and their potential effects. There can be no  assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. Actual results may vary  materially from those expressed or implied by forward‐looking statements based on a number of  factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among others: (1) conditions in the
