“With the goal of best positioning Hut 8 to create shareholder value ahead of and following the halving, we advanced a number of strategic initiatives designed to increase our operating scale and optimize our metrics in February,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “We made excellent progress in building out our new 63 MW self-mining site in Culberson County, Texas and at Ionic Digital’s 240 MW Cedarvale site in Ward County, Texas. We also announced a new treasury strategy that will allow us to deploy our stack to strategically grow the business and we relentlessly focused on improving our operations.”

Highlights:

  • Hut 8 began providing managed services to Ionic Digital in February and is installing its purpose-built software and transition systems from the current third-party provider at Ionic’s four sites in Texas totaling 87 MW. The contract is reflected in the operations results above.
  • At Ionic Digital’s Cedarvale site in Ward County, Texas, the Hut 8 team has received the first eight vertical exhaust units at site and is making progress on electrical work for the initial 35 MW phase of construction.
  • The operations and asset management teams continued to conduct preventative maintenance at the Echo site at King Mountain, Texas and optimize the fleets at the Foxtrot and Golf sites in Alberta by moving and conducting targeted repairs on miners to ensure maximum efficiency ahead of the halving.
  • A go-forward plan for the Golf site in Drumheller, Alberta will be finalized and communicated shortly.
  • Grading is complete at Hut 8’s new 63 MW site in Culberson County, Texas and the team has finalized the electrical engineering package and begun taking delivery of containers and transformers at the site.
  • Despite volatility in energy prices in February, the team utilized mutually beneficial terms in the Electric Service Agreement covering its Medicine Hat site, which provides the opportunity for both parties to benefit from high prices in the Alberta power market while helping to stabilize the electrical grid.
  • Hut 8’s digital asset mining geographical footprint includes the following sites as of March 1, 2024:
