11:43 AM EDT, 04/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- TeraWulf (WULF) and Cipher (CIFR) have significant base case upside as bitcoin-to-data-center conversion valuations are looking "increasingly attractive,"Morgan Stanley said in a Monday note on Bitcoin mining companies.

TeraWulf is set to drive growth upside as its expanded power volumes in its Maryland and Kentucky sites enable it to further develop data center capacity for artificial intelligence firms, Morgan Stanley analysts said. They noted that the company continues to close deals for building and leasing powered facilities for big AI players, including Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google.

The company's Q1 financial results show the significant progress in its conversion plans, with over half of its revenue coming from high-performance computing hosting, with more compute capacity expected to come online in Q2 and throughout the rest of the year, according to the note.

The upward revision in TeraWulf's valuation comes from about $4 billion in extra value generated by the acquisition of additional megawatts of power capacity, partially offset by around a $600 million reduction in cash committed to building out new sites, the note said.

Morgan Stanley kept the company's stock rating at overweight and raised the price target to $41.50 from $37.
