18.0 EH/s and 762 MW under management in mining
Announced plans for a 205 MW site in Texas
MIAMI, Aug. 05, 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 July 2024.
“We are continuing to see the impact of our ongoing optimization efforts in our self-mining business,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “Our average energy cost has declined materially since bringing Salt Creek online and completing the planned deployment of our curtailment software, and we continue to build and refine our data science platform to drive further efficiencies and margin expansion.”
“We also announced the first conversion from our previously announced pipeline of energy capacity under exclusivity, a site in the Texas Panhandle located adjacent to a windfarm with 205 megawatts of immediately available power capacity. The site will be able to pull power directly from the ERCOT grid when the wind farm is not generating power. Across our platform, we now own or manage energy infrastructure representing access to 1.3 gigawatts of power capacity. We look forward to sharing more details on this site and our second quarter 2024 results during our earnings call on August 13th.”
Highlights:
- Announced plans for a site in Texas with 205 MW of immediately available power capacity
- Further progress in developing Cedarvale, with new capacity being brought online in tranches of 50 MW

| (2) | Includes all Self-Mining, Managed Services, and Hosting infrastructure, including 100% of the energy capacity at the King Mountain site, which is owned by the King Mountain JV in which the Company has a 50% membership interest and a Fortune 200 renewable energy producer has the remaining 50% membership interest (the “King Mountain JV”). |
| (3) | Includes 215 megawatts assuming full capacity at Cedarvale, which was first energized in April and is currently under construction. |
| (4) | Includes all miners that are racked with power and networking, rounded to the nearest 100, in Self-Mining, Managed Services, and Hosting infrastructure with power and networking, including all miners at the King Mountain site. |
| (5) | Includes all Self-Mining, Managed Services, and Hosting hashrate, including 100% of the hashrate at the King Mountain site. |
| (6) | Self-Mining operations for Hut 8 include 100% of operations at the King Mountain site. |
| (7) | Deployed miners are defined as those physically racked with power and networking, rounded to the nearest 100; deployed self-mining miners net of the 50% share of the King Mountain JV held by Hut 8’s joint venture partner was 49.2K during July and 49.4K during June. |
