Bitcoin Miner Hut 8 Talks Operational Issues and USBTC Merger in Earnings Call

In mid-November 2022, Hut 8 stopped mining with 7,000 rigs at a site in North Bay, Ontario due to an ongoing dispute with its energy provider, Validus Power. Hut 8 has now removed all machines from the facility to a site in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Pressed about progress by analysts on the company’s earnings call Thursday morning, Hut 8 CEO Jaime Leverton said the firm is assessing opportunities to energize the miners but didn’t give any concrete alternatives.
