Hut 8 Operations Update for September 2024

19.5 EH/s and 762 MW under management in mining with path to 33.5 EH/s

Announced partnership with BITMAIN to host next-generation ASIC miner with purchase option to reach 20 EH/s of self-mining

GPU-as-a-service subsidiary generating revenue with first cluster fully online

Outstanding balance of Anchorage Digital loan equitized at price of $16.395 per share

MIAMI, Oct. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq | TSX: HUT) (“Hut 8” or the “Company”), a leading, vertically integrated operator of large-scale energy infrastructure and one of North America’s largest Bitcoin miners, today released its operations update for September 2024.

“We made significant strides in scaling our compute layer across Bitcoin mining and AI this month,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “In partnership with Bitmain, we launched a next-generation, DLC-cooled ASIC miner. We are targeting a 15 EH/s hosting deployment at our Vega site in the Texas Panhandle by H1 2025, which is expected to generate ~$135 million in annualized hosting revenue on a fully ramped basis. The agreement’s purchase option creates a clear path to 20 EH/s of self-mining capacity by allowing us to fully acquire the hosted machines for our fleet. This deal demonstrates our commitment to pushing the mining industry forward while positioning for expansion into AI data centers.”

“Our GPU-as-a-service vertical is now fully operational and generating revenue. As we advance discussions with potential partners to expand our digital infrastructure layer across Bitcoin mining and AI compute, we remain committed to maintaining balance sheet strength and creative structuring. To that end, we have also enhanced our financial position by fully converting our ~$38 million Anchorage Digital loan into equity at $16.395 per share of common stock, which represents a 51% premium to the Company’s 20-day VWAP through the day prior to the signing of the equitization agreement.”

Highlights:

  • Announced partnership with BITMAIN to host U3S21EXPH ASIC miner in H1 2025 with path to 20 EH/s of self-mining capacity; partnership is expected to generate ~$135 million in annualized hosting revenue on a fully ramped basis
  • Brought 1,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs online and began generating revenue for new GPU-as-a-service subsidiary Highrise AI, Inc.
  • Announced equitization of ~$38 million Anchorage Digital loan at a price of $16.395 per share
  • Continued construction of Ionic Digital’s Cedarvale site and remain on track to complete site buildout by December
