HUT Hut 8 Corp

Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq | TSX: HUT), ("Hut 8” or the “Company”) one of North America’s largest, most innovative digital asset mining pioneers and high performance computing infrastructure providers, has signed an interim agreement to build out and install mining operations in connection with the Celsius Network LLC bankruptcy proceedings at a site in Cedarvale, Texas. Once complete, the site will house approximately 66,000 miners and be powered by more than 215 MW of energy.

“We believe that the strength of Hut 8's managed services business with 680 MW currently under management, coupled with our track record of swiftly standing up mining infrastructure and efficiently running and optimizing operations, were key factors in being chosen as the partners for this project,” said Asher Genoot, President of Hut 8. “Our goal is twofold: to build equity with creditors of Celsius while also growing the strength and vitality of our managed services business, which we anticipate will have more than 895 MW of infrastructure under our umbrella once the site is up and running.”

Under the interim agreement with Celsius Mining LLC, Hut 8 will provide end-to-end development services for the Cedarvale site, and construction is expected to begin in the coming weeks. The scope of the services to be provided includes site design, engineering, financial modeling, budgeting, accounting, construction management, procurement, logistics, and RFP coordination.
