Компания TeraWulf оценила ранее объявленное размещение старших обеспеченных облигаций на $3,2 млрд с купонной ставкой 7,75%. Это обеспечило крупнейшее заемное финансирование от компании, занимающейся майнингом биткоинов, для расширения в сферу искусственного интеллекта.

Облигации, выпущенные через дочернюю компанию WULF Compute LLC, подлежат погашению в 2030 году. Они будут проданы по номинальной стоимости квалифицированным институциональным покупателям в соответствии с Правилом 144A Закона о ценных бумагах. Закрытие сделки ожидается 23 октября при соблюдении обычных условий.

Вырученные средства направят на финансирование текущего расширения центра обработки данных TeraWulf Lake Mariner в Баркере, штат Нью-Йорк. Этот проект компания трансформирует в центр высокопроизводительных вычислений для задач искусственного интеллекта.

При ставке 7,75% годовых TeraWulf может столкнуться с выплатой процентов почти в $250 млн в год, что значительно превышает ее текущую выручку. Компания сообщила о совокупной выручке около $140 млн за 2024 год и $82 млн за первую половину 2025 года от майнинга биткоинов. Эти показатели не включают себестоимость, операционные расходы, коммерческие, общие и административные расходы. Масштаб нового долга подчеркивает, насколько агрессивно TeraWulf делает ставку на успех своей стратегии диверсификации в сфере ИИ.

Облигации гарантированы дочерними компаниями WULF Compute и обеспечены залоговыми правами первой очереди на их активы. В залог включены доли в акционерном капитале и специальный счет Fluidstack USA I Inc. До завершения расширения Lake Mariner компания Google LLC предоставит варранты на покупку обыкновенных акций TeraWulf в рамках пакета обеспечения. Это подчеркивает косвенную финансовую связь технологического гиганта с проектом.

Финансирование TeraWulf последовало за ее партнерством с Fluidstack, оператором инфраструктуры, поддерживаемым Google. В рамках сотрудничества в кампусе озера Маринер разместят кластеры графических процессоров для крупномасштабных задач ИИ.

Эмиссия рекордного объема, которая более чем в три раза превышает размещение конвертируемых облигаций на $1 млрд от IREN ранее в этом месяце, ставит TeraWulf в авангарде перехода индустрии майнинга биткоинов к инфраструктуре ИИ и высокопроизводительных вычислений. Однако, учитывая что годовая нагрузка компании по процентам превышает ее остаточную выручку, успех этого перехода определит, окупится ли такая стратегия.

Russia Says "USDC is Usable" While Levying a 3% Fee on It?

In a two-step regulatory move, Russia has announced plans to impose a 3% fee on certain "unfriendly" foreign digital assets like USDC and USDT, while simultaneously adding them to its list of legally recognized cryptocurrencies. This approach, described by the article as akin to a customs authority taxing high-risk currency imports, reflects Russia's broader strategy to control rather than ban crypto. The new fee acts as a risk premium for assets deemed vulnerable to freezing by Western jurisdictions. Concurrently, Russia is promoting alternatives like stablecoins pegged to the ruble or friendly currencies, which would face lower or no fees. This regulatory push is timed against escalating international sanctions, particularly from the EU, which aims to restrict Russia's access to global crypto services. By establishing its own regulated framework ahead of potential external blockades, Russia seeks to secure a controlled financial channel, reducing dependence on dollar-linked assets. The situation highlights crypto's evolving role from an investment vehicle to a geopolitical tool, where control over its rules equates to control over financial flows.

Bitcoin Remains Below Glassnode’s $77,200 True Market Mean

Glassnode's latest report indicates Bitcoin continues to trade below its "True Market Mean," a key on-chain model estimating the average acquisition price of economically active coins at approximately $77,200. With BTC price roughly 15% below this level, the market is characterized as being in a repair or bearish regime rather than a confirmed bullish recovery. Trading below this cost-basis metric suggests a significant portion of active supply is under pressure, which can hinder rallies as underwater investors may sell into rebounds. The report highlights ongoing stress among short-term holders, contributing to market sensitivity. While a defense of current support levels shows demand, a sustained reclaim of the $77,200 True Market Mean is viewed as a more constructive signal for a broader regime shift than a simple relief bounce. For a bullish recovery to be confirmed, the market needs sufficient demand to overcome this overhead cost pressure.

Introducing: Market Compass

Glassnode introduces Market Compass, a dashboard providing a unified view of Bitcoin market conditions. It consolidates thousands of on-chain and market metrics into seven "lenses." Four forward-looking lenses (Macro, Capital Flows, Investor Behavior, On-Chain Fundamentals) feed a headline composite score from 0 (Risk-Off) to 100 (Risk-On). Three standalone lenses (Cycle Position, Derivatives, Cross-Asset Rotation) describe the current market structure. In the current reading, the headline score is 14/100 (Risk-Off), indicating a defensive regime. The Macro lens is the weakest at 23, constrained by a strong US Dollar (DXY) trading above its 200-day average. While the other forward-looking lenses show moderate improvement from recent lows, the overall picture suggests bottom-fishing within an unturned market cycle. Key observations include stablecoin supply shrinking (reduced buying power), long-term holders absorbing supply, tepid on-chain demand, and a derivatives market coiled for a potential move. The tool is designed as a contextual map, not a direct trading signal, synthesizing complex data into a single coherent read.

NVIDIA CPU Advances, China's RISC-V Responds: Semiconductor Deep Dive - Part Four

NVIDIA is set to launch its new Vera AI data center CPU in China as early as August, with high pricing. While this move offers a new option, it highlights China's continued dependence on foreign-controlled Arm architecture. In response, the Chinese semiconductor industry is increasingly turning to RISC-V as a strategic alternative for achieving high-performance computing autonomy. The article explores the concept of the "impossible triangle" in CPU development—balancing prosperity, control, and autonomy—and posits that RISC-V's open-source, modular nature offers a unique path to achieving all three. While RISC-V is already dominant in embedded systems, the focus is now shifting to data centers and AI workloads. China has become a global hotspot for RISC-V development, driven by AI-driven compute demand, supply chain concerns from export controls, cost benefits of open-source, and strong policy support. Multiple Chinese companies have reportedly crossed the key performance threshold of 15 SPECint per GHz, a benchmark for entering the high-performance CPU club. Progress extends beyond single-core benchmarks. Companies are developing complete computing subsystems, including commercial-grade coherent network-on-chip (NoC) technology and server processors with up to 40 cores that strictly adhere to the RVA23 standard to ensure software compatibility. Real-world applications are emerging in areas like video transcoding and edge AI. However, significant challenges remain. The RISC-V ecosystem faces fragmentation, immature toolchains and verification processes, and gaps in single-core performance and energy efficiency compared to mature x86 and Arm architectures. The formidable software moat, epitomized by NVIDIA's CUDA, is a long-term hurdle. In conclusion, while RISC-V cannot immediately replace offerings like NVIDIA's Vera, it represents a viable long-term path for China to develop a self-sufficient, high-performance CPU ecosystem. The journey is acknowledged to be long and arduous, requiring sustained effort to overcome technical and ecosystem challenges.
