Is TeraWulf Heavily Shorted?
"Days to cover" is the number of average trading days it would take shorts to buy back their position at recent volume. For WULF, that’s currently 4.50 days against 26,511,085 shares of average daily volume. Days to cover above 3 is above-average short pressure for a liquid name, though comfortably below classic squeeze territory.
WULF Short Interest in Context
Short interest is most useful read against the rest of the picture. Heavy shorting that lines up with insider selling and weakening Employee Business Outlook is a different story from heavy shorting with insider buying and a positive AI Score — the same number, very different setups.
The other signals on WULF right now:
- WULF AI Score — 46/100
- Reddit sentiment — 41/100 (bearish)
- Employee Business Outlook — 0% positive (soft)
Read together, this is a consensus-bearish setup: heavy shorting lines up with weak fundamentals or sentiment. Shorts and the rest of the picture are pointing the same direction here.

TeraWulf Short Interest: Frequently Asked Questions
TeraWulf has 119,364,725 shares short — about 23.92% of its shares outstanding as of Sep 30, 2026. This figure is the official biweekly short interest report, which lags the settlement date by about two weeks — the same convention every short-interest tracker uses. (Note: "% of shares outstanding" runs slightly below the "% of float" you may see on MarketBeat or Fintel, since float excludes insider-held and restricted shares.)
At 119,364,725 shares short and 26,511,085 shares of average daily volume, WULF’s days-to-cover is 4.50. Days to cover above 3 is above-average short pressure for a liquid name, though comfortably below classic squeeze territory.
Short squeezes happen when heavily shorted stocks rally sharply, forcing shorts to buy back at higher prices. The classic warning signs are days-to-cover above ~5, rising short interest, and a catalyst that pushes price up. WULF’s days-to-cover at 4.50 is below the classic ~5-day threshold. AltIndex tracks short interest alongside insider activity and sentiment — the same number reads very differently depending on what those other signals say.
The biweekly short interest figures come from NASDAQ’s official short interest report — the same source used by MarketBeat, Fintel, and Benzinga. The data is settlement-date-based, published twice a month, and lags about two weeks. For daily short-selling activity (a higher-frequency complement), see the short squeeze tracker.
