I hate these new FASB accounting rules because they are knocking down the value of my shares. From my investing experience there is no loss or a gain until you actually sell the asset. So I am wondering what the purpose of these rules are. However I can certainly see the short-term impact on my investment, not good.
"...the new FASB fair value accounting rules for digital assets, which requires Hut 8 to recognize its digital assets at fair value with changes recognized in net income during the reporting period. The price of Bitcoin on March 31, 2024 was $71,289 compared to the price of Bitcoin on June 30, 2024 of $62,668, such that the decrease in Bitcoin price during the quarter resulted in losses on digital assets of $71.8 million.

Yes, as is happening with other miners, the game is on. While I'm not really an opera fan, this is opera at it's best, full drama showing the worst humans behaving badly to get what they want.
The powers that be want the best stocks at the cheapest price and are willing to slice a few throats to get what they want.
The only problem with this awful model called capitalism is that communism, and its lesser cousin, socialism, simply finds other ways of using power to slit throats.
Either way throats get slit. But with capitalism we, supposedly, get washing machines and other luxurious gadgets which have a better chance of working.

Today's statement by HUT seems as libelous as was the short report a few days ago. If true, and if HUT can prove it in court, perhaps they can sue for damages. No doubt, that's an uphill battle.
But if, as alleged, this was lying for the short company's own benefit then, perhaps, it's illegal like insider trading.
From statement:
HUT8 "... believes that the report is filled with inaccuracies, misrepresented data, speculative claims, and unfounded character attacks. The report appears to represent a deliberate attempt to spread misinformation about Hut 8, its operations, finances, management practices, and key executives. .... The Company believes that the report was designed for the sole purpose of negatively impacting Hut 8’s share price for the short seller's own benefit, at the expense of Hut 8’s shareholders, partners, and employees."
That's a strong statement.
