PR Newswire (US) Eidelman most recently led investor relations at NextEra Energy after 17 years in corporate and investment banking at J.P. MorganAppointment follows the contracting of $16.8 billion in data center lease revenue and the closing of a landmark investment-grade construction bond issuance as the Company pursues a corporate investment-grade ratingMIAMI, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies, today announced the appointment of Mark Eidelman as Head of Investor Relations and Senior Vice President of Strategic Finance. Eidelman will report to CFO Sean Glennan and lead the Company's strategic finance and investor relations functions. Before joining Hut 8, Eidelman led investor relations at NextEra Energy, where he owned the company's equity narrative and global investor relationships. He was ranked #2 Investor Relations Professional in Utilities on Extel's 2025 All-America Executive Team. Prior to that role, he led the M&A and joint ventures team at NextEra Energy Transmission.Eidelman has 17 years of experience in corporate and investment banking at J.P. Morgan, most recently as a managing director. In that role, he led the execution of more than $75 billion in debt, equity, and structured financings and advised public and private clients on capital structure, M&A, and strategic transactions, primarily in the power, utility, and renewables industries.Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "Our ambition is to build one of the defining businesses of this era at the intersection of energy and technology. As we advance our power-first strategy, contracting institutional-grade infrastructure at scale and pursuing a corporate investment-grade rating, our priority is to deepen institutional sponsorship and lower our cost of capital over time. That demands a leader who has operated at the highest levels of both infrastructure finance and institutional capital markets. Mark is that leader, and his appointment reflects the strength of what we have built and the scale of what we intend to build."Sean Glennan, CFO of Hut 8, said: "What distinguishes Mark is the full arc of his career — from structuring some of the most complex transactions in the power sector at J.P. Morgan to representing NextEra Energy's investment case to the most sophisticated institutional capital in the world. His experience on both sides of the capital markets relationship gives him a fluency not only in how to present a capital story but also in how to engage rating agencies as we pursue a corporate investment-grade rating, how to build relationships with long-duration capital, and how to establish a company's position in the institutional capital markets. We could not be more confident in his ability to lead that work for Hut 8."Mark Eidelman, Head of Investor Relations and Senior Vice President of Strategic Finance at Hut 8, said: "Growing demand for power across AI and other energy-intensive technologies is reshaping infrastructure markets and creating new opportunities for differentiated platforms. I believe Hut 8 is uniquely positioned to continue to capitalize on this structural shift. I look forward to working closely with Asher, Sean and the rest of the leadership team as we execute on the Company's growth strategy and continue building long-term shareholder value."About Hut 8Hut 8 is an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies such as AI, high-performance computing, and ASIC compute.

Hut 8 Commits $16 Million to Expand Water Infrastructure in West Feliciana ParishMay 19, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Investment expected to increase long-term system capacity alongside development of River Bend AI data center campusBATON ROUGE, La., May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases, today announced an agreement with West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, to invest approximately $16 million to expand local water system capacity in connection with the development of its River Bend AI data center campus. The investment includes the construction of a new water well, approximately eight miles of water main, and other system enhancements, which will be transferred to the parish upon completion, expected in the second half of 2026, at no cost to taxpayers. These improvements are expected to expand system capacity and reliability across West Feliciana Parish, with the potential to benefit more than 4,000 households and more than 200 employer establishments, based on U.S. Census Bureau data1. The investment aligns with broader efforts across Louisiana to strengthen water infrastructure, including the state's $750 million Water Sector Program, established to fund repairs and upgrades to community water systems. By expanding core system capacity through private investment, the project is also expected to help preserve public funding capacity for other infrastructure priorities across the parish.The River Bend campus is expected to deliver significant economic impact to the Capital Region. Phase 1 alone represents a multibillion-dollar capital investment, ranking among the largest planned private infrastructure projects in the state's history. At peak construction, Hut 8 anticipates approximately 1,000 construction workers on-site. Once operational, Phase 1 is expected to support at least 75 direct permanent jobs and approximately 193 indirect jobs, or 268 jobs in total.At River Bend, Hut 8 is expanding the local water system while designing its facilities to minimize demand on it. The campus will use a closed loop cooling system that significantly reduces ongoing water requirements and relies on water outside the residential aquifer, with no impact to the local water supply.Asher Genoot, Chief Executive Officer of Hut 8, said: "We build infrastructure for communities, not just for ourselves. At River Bend, that means strengthening the water system the parish depends on rather than straining it. As the United States scales AI infrastructure, we believe this approach will set the standard for how AI infrastructure is developed in communities across the country."Kenny Havard, Parish President of West Feliciana Parish, said: "This is a real investment in the infrastructure our parish needs. It will strengthen our water system and expand service in areas that need it most without adding cost for our residents. It puts us in a position to handle future growth in the right way while protecting the resources our community depends on."The River Bend campus is part of Hut 8's integrated North American energy and digital infrastructure platform, developed in partnership with public and private sector stakeholders.Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 5-Year Estimates, Table DP02, and County Business Patterns 2023, Table CB2300CBPAbout Hut 8Hut 8 is an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies such as AI, high-performance computing, and ASIC compute.

Hut 8 Reports First Quarter 2026 ResultsMay 6, 2026 6:45 AM
PR Newswire (US) Two years of foundation-building translates into $16.8 billion in triple-net, take-or-pay contracted lease revenue across two hyperscale AI campuses underpinned by blue-chip, investment-grade counterpartiesRecently announced Beacon Point lease demonstrates repeatability of Hut 8's power-first model across tenants and geographiesEarnings Release HighlightsDemonstrated the repeatability of Hut 8's power-first development model, signing a 15-year, 352 MW IT AI data center lease at Beacon Point with a high-investment-grade tenant, representing $9.8 billion in base-term contract value on a triple-net, take-or-pay basis.Continued construction of the River Bend AI data center campus, and, subsequent to quarter-end, closed an offering of $3.25 billion of fully amortizing 16.5-year investment-grade senior secured notes to finance the project — the first single-sponsor data center project to access the investment-grade construction bond market — at approximately 95% loan-to-cost, on a non-dilutive, non-recourse basis to Hut 8.Simplified and strengthened the balance sheet through the divestiture of the Company's 310 MW portfolio of natural gas power plants and, subsequent to quarter-end, the refinancing of the Company's Bitcoin-backed credit facility, reducing cost of debt from 9.0% to 7.0%, unencumbering approximately 3,300 BTC, and releasing balance sheet liquidity to fund growth.Entered the Company's next phase of platform growth with a 8,375 MW development pipeline, underpinned by continued investment in the power-first development talent and program infrastructure required to convert pipeline to contracted revenue at scale.MIAMI, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2026. Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "In the first quarter of 2026, we continued to execute against our conviction that power is the foundational layer for the next generation of energy-intensive technologies, and that those who secure it at scale will build and compound a durable competitive advantage. That conviction has produced a contracted revenue base of $16.8 billion underpinned by triple-net, take-or-pay data center leases with 597 MW of IT capacity across two hyperscale AI campuses, and diversified blue-chip, investment-grade counterparties.""Our initial lease at Beacon Point demonstrates how our distinct power-first development model is repeatable across tenants and geographies. We identified a site that incumbents and peers overlooked and delivered a lease structured on the same triple-net, take-or-pay terms that defined our first AI data center lease at River Bend. Within five months, we have more than doubled our contracted capacity and secured $9.8 billion in incremental base-term contract value."With River Bend advancing toward Q2 2027 delivery and a development pipeline spanning 8,375 MW, our focus is on continuing to scale with the rigor and quality we believe distinguishes our platform from others in the market. We believe our proven model, strong balance sheet, and utility-scale development pipeline position us to continue executing with uncompromising discipline as we build what we believe will become an enduring, generational business at the intersection of energy and technology."First Quarter 2026 HighlightsPower Generated $3.7 million in first quarter revenue from Power Generation and Managed Services. Revenue generated by Hut 8 through its Managed Services agreement with the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, American Bitcoin Corp. ("American Bitcoin"), is eliminated in consolidation, as these transactions are treated as intercompany so long as American Bitcoin remains a consolidated entity.Completed the sale of the Company's 310 MW portfolio of four natural gas-fired power plants in Ontario to TransAlta Corporation. The transaction concludes a multi-phase value creation program that began with acquisition out of bankruptcy proceedings in partnership with Macquarie Equipment Finance Ltd. (a subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited), advanced through stabilization and operational improvements driven by the Company's in-house power expertise, and culminated in five-year capacity contracts with the Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator.Completed critical path development work required to commercialize Beacon Point, including contracting utility capacity with AEP, advancing interconnection through the ERCOT process, funding the Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC), and commencing substation construction.Recommissioned the Drumheller facility, deploying 42 MW of previously non-operational capacity into ASIC Colocation capacity and expanding the Company's revenue-generating infrastructure footprint.Digital Infrastructure Generated $1.3 million in first quarter revenue from Colocation services. An additional $27.7 million of Colocation revenue, including reimbursements, from the Company's share of the unconsolidated King Mountain Joint Venture is recognized in the "Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture" line item. Revenue generated by Hut 8 through its ASIC Colocation agreement with American Bitcoin is eliminated in consolidation, as these transactions are treated as intercompany so long as American Bitcoin remains a consolidated entity.Advanced construction at River Bend, the Company's 330 MW AI data center campus in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana.Commercialized the first phase of Beacon Point, the second AI data center campus originated under Hut 8's power-first, greenfield model, through a 15-year, $9.8 billion lease for 352 MW of IT capacity with a high-investment-grade tenant.ComputeGenerated $66.0 million in first quarter revenue from ASIC Compute, AI Cloud, and Traditional Cloud solutions. ASIC Compute revenue was generated primarily through American Bitcoin; AI Cloud revenue from the Company's wholly owned Highrise AI subsidiary; and Traditional Cloud solutions delivered under the Hut 8 Canada brand.Capital Strategy and Balance Sheet Maintained a strong liquidity position, supported by approximately $1.3 billion in cash and Bitcoin holdings as of March 31, 2026, including $795.6 million attributable to Hut 8 and $489.0 million attributable to American Bitcoin.Closed, subsequent to quarter-end, an offering of $3.25 billion of fully amortizing 16.5-year investment-grade senior secured notes to finance the construction of River Bend — the first single-sponsor data center project to access the investment-grade construction bond market — on a non-dilutive, non-recourse basis to Hut 8. The transaction increased loan-to-cost from approximately 85% contemplated at lease announcement to 95% and, through a tenor aligned to the lease term, eliminated refinancing risk, and fully funded the project with $184 million of equity to be returned to Hut 8 at closing for redeployment, with no incremental equity contribution expected from Hut 8.Refinanced, subsequent to quarter-end, the Company's $200.0 million Bitcoin-backed credit facility with FalconX, reducing facility cost of debt from 9.0% to 7.0% and increasing Bitcoin held outside collateral covenants by approximately 3,300 BTC, with a market value of $260 million as of May 1, 2026. Assuming conversion of the Company's $150.0 million Coatue convertible note, which is substantially in the money and subject to mandatory redemption beginning in late Q2 2026 (subject to certain conditions), the Company will have no meaningful recourse debt at the parent level.Development PipelineDevelopment pipeline totaling 8,375 MW1 as of May 6, 2026, including 5,315 MW of Energy Capacity Under Diligence, 1,680 MW1 of Energy Capacity Under Exclusivity, 550 MW of Energy Capacity Under Development, and 830 MW of Energy Capacity Under Construction.StageDescriptionUtility Capacity

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted for impacts of interest expense, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, our share of unconsolidated joint venture depreciation and amortization, net of basis adjustments, foreign exchange gain or loss, loss on sale of property and equipment, gain on derivatives, gain or loss on other financial liability, gain on warrant liability, gain on sale of Far North JV, net of transaction costs, the removal of non-recurring transactions, asset contribution costs, loss attributable to non-controlling interests, and stock-based compensation expense in the period presented. You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons our Board and management team consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis.Our board of directors and management team use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense and income), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), and other items (such as non-recurring transactions mentioned above) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period.Net loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in the future, and any such modification may be material. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.Hut 8 Corp. and SubsidiariesCondensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss(Unaudited, in USD thousands, except share and per share data)

Hut 8 Commercializes First Phase of 1 GW Beacon Point AI Data Center Campus with 15-Year, 352 MW IT Lease with Base-Term Contract Value of $9.8 BillionMay 6, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Triple-net lease with high-investment-grade tenant valued at up to $25.1 billion if all renewal options are exercisedTransaction expands Hut 8's total contracted AI data center capacity to 597 MW with aggregate base-term contract value of approximately $16.8 billionHut 8 to deliver a 352 MW AI factory designed to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI infrastructureExecuted under Hut 8's repeatable delivery model with Tier 1 counterparties: American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP), Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), and Jacobs (NYSE: J)MIAMI, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies, today announced the commercialization of the first phase of its Beacon Point data center campus in Nueces County, Texas through a 15-year, $9.8 billion lease (the "Agreement") for 352 megawatts (MW) of IT capacity (the "Transaction"). The tenant, a high-investment-grade company, will deploy dedicated compute infrastructure at the campus to support AI training and inference workloads at hyperscale. Beacon Point is the second AI data center campus commercialized under the Company's power-first, greenfield development model following River Bend. Hut 8 has executed an interconnection agreement for 1,000 MW of utility capacity, with initial energization expected in Q1 2027. As with River Bend, Hut 8 identified and secured the site through its power-first approach and subsequently commercialized it through a hyperscale AI lease. The Beacon Point transaction brings Hut 8's total contracted AI data center capacity to 597 MW of IT capacity with aggregate base-term contract value of approximately $16.8 billion and aggregate average annual NOI to approximately $1.1 billion.Transaction HighlightsLease Structure: Triple net (NNN) lease.Tenant Profile: Confidential, high-investment-grade company.Compute Architecture: Hut 8 to deliver a 352 MW AI factory designed to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure.Base-Term Contract Value: Total contract value of $9.8 billion over a 15-year base lease term, inclusive of a 3.0% annual base rent escalator.NOI Contribution: Expected cumulative NOI contribution of $9.8 billion over the base lease term, translating to an expected average annual NOI contribution of $655 million upon stabilization.Upside Economics: Three 5-year renewal options increase potential contract value to approximately $25.1 billion assuming all three options are exercised.Delivery Timeline: Initial data hall delivery expected in Q3 2027.Project-level Financing: Hut 8 intends to support the development of Beacon Point with project-level financing that aims to optimize cost of capital at the asset level while maintaining disciplined long-term leverage metrics at the corporate level.Campus Scalability: 1,000 MW of utility capacity with initial energization expected in Q1 2027.Commercial Potential: The lease for 352 MW of IT capacity, requiring approximately 500 MW of utility capacity, represents the first phase of commercialization at a campus designed to support up to 1,000 MW of utility capacity, providing significant runway for potential campus expansion and revenue growth.Power-First Underwriting and the First Phase of Value CreationBeacon Point exemplifies Hut 8's power-first development model and the value creation it enables across the asset lifecycle. Originally underwritten on a speed-to-power thesis to serve Hut 8's affiliated customer, American Bitcoin Corp. ("ABTC"), the site was repositioned to AI infrastructure as power demand accelerated and customer requirements broadened. Hut 8 transitioned Beacon Point from its original commercialization pathway with ABTC to deliver an AI data center campus with contracted, investment-grade cash flows, marking the first phase of asset-level value creation at the campus.Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "Beacon Point underscores why we start with power and maintain flexibility across end markets. Operating across multiple applications lets us underwrite assets that single-use-case developers cannot, then redirect them toward higher-value commercialization pathways as demand evolves. This flexibility is intentional, and it is embedded in how we underwrite, develop, and commercialize infrastructure."First-Principles Engineering and the Second Phase of Value CreationBeacon Point also exemplifies Hut 8's first-principles engineering approach and the value creation it enables as technology applications evolve. Following the repositioning of the campus to AI, the first data hall was scoped for 224 MW of IT capacity, sized to the chip architectures commercially deployed at the time. As NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture advanced toward commercial deployment with materially higher rack-level power densities, Hut 8 redesigned the data hall to support a 352 MW AI factory, a 57% increase over the initial design, within the same land and utility footprint.Scalable, Partnership-Driven Execution ModelHut 8 is developing Beacon Point through a partnership-driven execution model first implemented at its River Bend campus. The model is structured to mitigate risk across the project lifecycle by aligning Tier 1 partners to defined roles across technology, engineering and construction, and critical systems delivery.Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "This transaction commercializes the first building of our newest gigawatt-scale campus and marks our second AI data center lease. More importantly, it demonstrates that our development model, which pairs power-first underwriting with disciplined commercialization and institutional execution, is repeatable and extendable across our broader pipeline."NVIDIA is engaged as technology partner, with Phase 1 of the campus engineered to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI factories. Jacobs, a global scienced-based consulting and advisory firm, is retained as EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) lead, working alongside Vertiv in its role supporting critical digital infrastructure systems.Bob Pragada, Chair and CEO of Jacobs, said: "Beacon Point underscores the strength of our partnership with Hut 8 and the discipline required to deliver AI infrastructure with speed, safety, and certainty. Building on our work together at River Bend, we are applying our EPCM leadership and advanced digital twin technology to set the benchmark for AI infrastructure deployment, optimization, and resiliency."Giordano Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv, said: "Next generation AI infrastructure will be defined by how quickly power can be converted into AI capacity. Partnering with Hut 8 aligns with Vertiv's systems-level approach to converged physical infrastructure — bringing power, cooling, and deployment execution at scale. At Beacon Point, we are applying Vertiv's global manufacturing depth, supply chain discipline, engineering expertise, and critical digital infrastructure portfolio to help deliver AI capacity with speed, reliability, and long-term performance."Utility and Regional PartnershipsHut 8 is developing the Beacon Point campus in collaboration with key Texas stakeholders, including AEP Texas, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP), and the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation (CCREDC). Hut 8 and AEP Texas have executed an interconnection agreement for 1,000 MW of utility capacity for the campus, with initial energization expected in Q1 2027.Hut 8 brings a long operating history in Texas and extensive experience working within ERCOT across large-load applications. This experience has enabled the Company to advance complex infrastructure projects by navigating market dynamics, interconnection processes, and transmission and system upgrade requirements while maintaining disciplined development and execution timelines.Aaron Bowman, CEO of CCREDC, said: "Beacon Point reflects the type of long-term investment that supports durable growth in the Coastal Bend economy. Hut 8's focus on power infrastructure and disciplined execution aligns with the region's assets and workforce capabilities, and we are pleased to support the advancement of this campus in Nueces County."Development Pipeline UpdateThe Transaction advances 500 MW of utility capacity from Energy Capacity Under Development to Energy Capacity Under Construction. An additional 500 MW of utility capacity from Beacon Point remains within Energy Capacity Under Development. Hut 8 continues to advance opportunities across a broader pipeline spanning 7,545 MW of Energy Capacity Under Diligence, Exclusivity, and Development, applying the same power-first underwriting framework and institutional execution model demonstrated at River Bend and Beacon Point.StageDescriptionUtility Capacity

Note: (1) Excludes 1,000 MW of potential IT expansion capacity at River Bend, for which Fluidstack holds a ROFO under the River Bend lease.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release includes a non-GAAP financial measure, expected net operating income (NOI) contribution, which the Company defines as expected lease revenue for a particular lease less any non-reimbursable operating expenses attributable to the leased property. The Company's management team uses expected NOI contribution to measure the expected operating performance of a particular lease. Operating income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to expected NOI contribution. In evaluating expected NOI contribution, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur non-reimbursable lease operating expenses that are not currently known. The Company's presentation of expected NOI contribution should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Expected NOI contribution has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider expected NOI contribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. For example, expected NOI contribution excludes the impact of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's consolidated financial results. Other companies, including Real Estate Investment Trusts, may calculate expected NOI contribution differently than the Company does and, accordingly, the Company's expected NOI contribution may not be comparable to similar measures published by such companies. No reconciliation of expected NOI contribution is included in this press release because the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in operating income without unreasonable efforts as such quantification would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.Additional Transaction Information and Upcoming CommunicationsHut 8 has made available on its website an investor presentation with further details regarding the Transaction.For important news and information regarding the Company, including investor presentations and timing of future investor conferences, visit the Investor Relations section of the Company's website, hut8.com/investors, and its social media accounts, including on X and LinkedIn.

Hut 8 Closes $3.25 Billion of Investment-Grade Senior Secured Notes in Landmark Financing for River Bend Data Center ProjectApril 30, 2026 5:57 PM
PR Newswire (US)
First single-sponsor data center project to access the investment-grade construction bond marketFully amortizing 16.5-year tenor eliminates refinancing risk and funds development without recourse to Hut 8 or dilution to shareholdersMIAMI, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases, today announced the closing of a $3.25 billion offering (the "Offering") of 6.192% senior secured notes due 2042 (the "Notes") issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hut 8 DC LLC (the "Issuer"). The Notes are rated BBB- with a Positive Outlook by S&P Global Ratings and BBB- with a Stable Outlook by Fitch Ratings.
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to (i) finance the development and construction of a turnkey data center with 245 megawatts of critical IT capacity and the related substation at Hut 8's River Bend campus (collectively, the "Project"), (ii) make a distribution to Hut 8 of approximately $184 million representing a return of prior equity contributions used to fund capital expenditures relating to the Project, and (iii) fund debt service reserves.This Offering establishes a first-of-its-kind financing model for data center development: investment-grade, institutionally validated, free of refinancing risk, and capital-efficient.Institutional Validation of Hut 8's Development Program: Hut 8 has secured investment-grade ratings on a construction-stage data center bond, a credit standard rarely achieved before commercial operations. The Notes constitute the first investment-grade construction bond issued for a single-sponsor data center project. The Offering validates Hut 8's development program — site origination, counterparty selection, supply chain, engineering, construction delivery, and risk mitigation — and the contracted cash flows of the 15-year triple-net lease.Long-Tenor, Fully Amortizing Structure Eliminates Refinancing Risk: Hut 8's investment-grade market access supported a 16.5-year tenor matched to the construction period and the 15-year contracted lease term. The Notes are fully amortizing over this tenor, with scheduled principal and interest funded by contracted lease cash flows. Because the Notes amortize in full by maturity, Hut 8 will not be required to return to the debt capital markets to refinance them.Capital-Efficient Funding with Equity Recovery: The Offering converts the majority of Hut 8's deployed development equity into capital available for redeployment. The Project is fully funded by the Offering, with no incremental equity contribution expected from Hut 8. In connection with the closing, the Issuer will distribute approximately $184 million to Hut 8, returning equity that becomes available for additional growth initiatives. To the extent final construction costs are realized below current estimates, surplus proceeds will be available for distribution to Hut 8 following commercial operations.Non-Recourse, Non-Dilutive Growth Model: The Offering delivers a financing structure with investment-grade access, no recourse to Hut 8, and no dilution to shareholders. The order book — which was significantly oversubscribed and priced inside initial price talk — drew participation from leading institutional investors. The depth of institutional support establishes Hut 8 as a credible issuer of investment-grade data center credit, demonstrating a disciplined financing model that the Company can apply to future projects.Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "Closing this first-of-its-kind financing is the result of decisions made long before we engaged the capital markets: how we originate power, the counterparties we contract with, and the structural protections we require across every component of a project. In a market where gigawatts of new data center capacity are being announced, that standard remains the exception. We built River Bend to it, and it is the model we intend to apply across our pipeline."Sean Glennan, CFO of Hut 8, said: "Starting from first principles, we defined the financing terms the asset warranted — de-risked, high-grade, and institutional — and rigorously stress-tested those terms across construction lending, high-yield, and investment-grade markets, and then executed the structure that best served the asset. The outstanding result reflects that first-principles discipline, combining investment-grade pricing, project-level non-recourse leverage, and covenant flexibility on a tenor that extends through the full contracted cash flow period, eliminating refinancing risk."J.P. Morgan acted as lead bookrunner for the Offering. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as joint bookrunners.About Hut 8Hut 8 is an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies such as AI, high-performance computing, and ASIC compute.

Vertiv Industrializes AI Deployment with Digitally Orchestrated Infrastructure, Collaborates with Hut 8 to ScaleFebruary 26, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Vertiv™ OneCore factory-integrated, digitally validated infrastructure reduces on-site deployment complexity and accelerates schedule certainty amid tightening construction constraints COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced a major evolution in high-density data center deployment, shifting from traditional static modeling to a higher fidelity Digital Twin platform. This technology-first approach accelerates the deployment of its Vertiv™ OneCore integrated modular solutions, enabling operators to scale AI factories with unprecedented velocity and precision.
As the demand for AI training and inference capacity accelerates, operators are finding that traditional construction methods cannot scale fast enough to meet demand. The industry is facing a convergence of physical and logistical constraints that threaten project timelines. Central to Vertiv's physics-driven design and digital-first strategy is a next-generation shift from static Building Information Modeling (BIM) to a dynamic digital environment built on SimReady assets with Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) export capabilities. This unified, full-stack digital infrastructure moves beyond disaggregated design and construction workflows—reducing dependency on scarce talent, inconsistent quality, sequential workflows, weather, and disparate trade-specific silos. The result fundamentally changes the physics of deployment, accelerating time to token, repeatability, and performance."The industry is reaching the limits of what traditional, sequential construction can deliver," said Giordano Albertazzi, Chief Executive Officer at Vertiv. "We are not replacing engineering rigor; we are shifting from a product-in-a-product mentality where mechanical and electrical systems fight for space and control to delivering a unitary, fully coherent system where the digital design and the physical asset are inseparable. This isn't just prefabrication; it is convergence and interoperability unlocking compounding gains in speed and efficiency."Deploying Vertiv OneCore delivers tangible financial advantages for NeoCloud, hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and sovereign operators:Vertiv OneCore is built around repeatable building blocks, including factory-integrated elements for power, cooling, heat rejection, overhead aisle infrastructure, and services into a single converged physical infrastructure designed to simplify execution and compress schedules by reducing on-site labor intensity and complexity. Speed for Revenue Acceleration: Factory-integrated and tested, Vertiv OneCore reduces on-site work, commissioning, and time-to-token by up to 50% compared to traditional builds. Density for Asset Efficiency: Up to 30% less space compared to traditional builds, enabling higher compute density, reduced infrastructure sprawl, and improved revenue per square foot. Total Cost of Ownership Savings for Shorter Internal Rate of Return: Up to 25% TCO savings compared to traditional stick-build, by shifting labor off-site, reducing rework, and minimizing non-repeatable field costs and waste. Future-Ready Infrastructure for Financial Optionality: Scalable blocks with densities configurable up to 600 kW per rack are built to extend infrastructure readiness for multiple compute generations ahead. Strategic collaboration with Hut 8 Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq: HUT) ("Hut 8"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy intensive use cases, has collaborated with Vertiv to integrate Vertiv™ OneCore converged physical infrastructure into select data center projects within its broader infrastructure roadmap. By combining Hut 8's power-first and innovation-driven approach with Vertiv's fully converged, interoperable systems, the companies have created an industrialized, scalable, and repeatable solution for AI data center deployment. This approach is designed to accelerate schedules and enable "design certainty" through early constraint integration while preserving the technical rigor required for modern computing workloads."We view AI data center infrastructure as an integrated industrial system anchored in power, not as a collection of bespoke real estate projects," said Asher Genoot, CEO at Hut 8. "Collaborating with Vertiv to deploy the Vertiv OneCore architecture strengthens our ability to standardize design, maintain rigorous delivery timelines, and enhance execution confidence for large-scale AI infrastructure projects." For this initial deployment, Vertiv and Hut 8 collaborated on an industrialized AI infrastructure architecture, aligning Vertiv's converged physical infrastructure system with Hut 8's largescale power and digital infrastructure platform. Vertiv OneCore is developed with a single design intent, tightly integrating Vertiv's power train, thermal chain, IT white space, controls and services, as an infrastructure platform for accelerated computing blocks—supporting evolving AI factory requirements without anchoring the architecture to a single compute ecosystem. Modular electrical and mechanical elements, combined with system-level digital models, allow customers to standardize on a repeatable physical architecture while flexing configurations to support multiple compute generations ahead.For more information about Vertiv OneCore and other Vertiv™ solutions, visit Vertiv.com.

While considered reasonable by Hut 8 as of the date of this press release, such statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including, but not limited to, failure of critical systems; geopolitical, social, economic, and other events and circumstances; competition from current and future competitors; risks related to power requirements; cybersecurity threats and breaches; hazards and operational risks; changes in leasing arrangements; Internet-related disruptions; dependence on key personnel; having a limited operating history; attracting and retaining customers; entering into new offerings or lines of business; price fluctuations and rapidly changing technologies; construction of new data centers, data center expansions, or data center redevelopment; predicting facility requirements; strategic alliances or joint ventures; operating and expanding internationally; failing to grow hashrate; purchasing miners; relying on third-party mining pool service providers; uncertainty in the development and acceptance of the Bitcoin network; Bitcoin halving events; competition from other methods of investing in Bitcoin; concentration of Bitcoin holdings; hedging transactions; potential liquidity constraints; legal, regulatory, governmental, and technological uncertainties; physical risks related to climate change; involvement in legal proceedings; trading volatility; and other risks described from time to time in Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, see the Company's recent and upcoming annual and quarterly reports and other continuous disclosure documents, which are available under the Company's EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov and SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.Adjusted EBITDAIn addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we rely on Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our business, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss or income, adjusted for impacts of interest expense, income tax benefit or provision, depreciation and amortization, our share of unconsolidated joint venture depreciation and amortization, net of basis adjustments, foreign exchange gain or loss, loss or gain on sale of property and equipment, gain on debt extinguishment, gain or loss on derivatives, gain on other financial liability, gain on warrant liability, gain on bargain purchase, the removal of non-recurring transactions, asset contribution costs, impairment charges, income or loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, loss attributable to non-controlling interests, and stock-based compensation expense in the period presented. You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons our Board and management team consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis.Our board of directors and management team use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense and income), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), and other items (such as non-recurring transactions mentioned above) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period.Net (loss) income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in the future, and any such modification may be material. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.Hut 8 Corp. and SubsidiariesCondensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income(Unaudited, in USD thousands, except share and per share data)
