Hut 8 Mining Corp, one of North America’s largest digital asset mining pioneers, is providing an update on its proposed business combination with US Bitcoin Corp (USBTC). The all-stock merger of equals aims to create a U.S.-domiciled entity named “Hut 8 Corp.” or “New Hut.” New Hut will become a large-scale, publicly traded Bitcoin miner with a focus on economical mining, diversified revenue streams, and industry-leading environmental, social, and governance practices.
New Hut has filed an amendment to its Form S-4 Registration Statement with the SEC, revealing an increase in expected installed self-mining capacity. The capacity has been raised from 7.02 EH/s to 7.5 EH/s across mining facilities in Alberta, Niagara Falls, Kearney, and Texas. This improvement is due to the energization of additional miners at USBTC’s sites.
The CEO of Hut 8, Jaime Leverton, expressed excitement about the progress made and emphasized the goal of creating a stronger business backed by Bitcoin and fiat revenues from robust North American operations.
The completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, shareholder approval, court approval, and other customary closing conditions.
Hut 8 is an innovation-focused digital asset miner and high-performance computing infrastructure provider. It has two operational mining sites in Southern Alberta, with a high capacity rate and a significant inventory of self-mined Bitcoin. Hut 8 aims to revolutionize the data center model by serving both traditional high-performance computing and nascent digital asset computing sectors.
