Hut 8 Expands Operations in Texas
As part of its expansion goals, Hut 8 has started building its newest digital asset mining facility. The location of the facility will be in Texas’s Culberson County. The Company anticipates having miners online at the site in Q2 2024, with construction now underway. Additionally, the company has formally implemented a new treasury strategy. This will allow for the use of reserve Bitcoin to increase the value of the balance sheet and fund expansion plans. Reserved Bitcoin can be used in a variety of ways, such as direct sales and option techniques.
The plan aims to improve the company’s capacity to carry out strategic plans, expand its operational footprint, and maximize KPIs like energy expenses and Bitcoin mining costs. Utilizing Bitcoin that is kept in reserve will be decided case by case. This plan will be employed by the Company to finance capital improvements at the Culberson County facility.
