Hut 8 Earns $331M in 2024 While Strengthening AI Infrastructure

Hut 8 Reports $331M in 2024 Earnings, Expands AI and Mining Capacity

Bitcoin mining firm Hut 8 recorded a net income of $331 million in 2024, fueled by Bitcoin’s price surge over the year.

By the end of December, the company had accumulated 10,171 BTC in reserves, valued at approximately $905 million at the time of reporting. Much of this Bitcoin has been used as collateral to finance new ASIC mining equipment.

Hut 8 also benefited from a reduction in operational costs, with its energy expenses per megawatt-hour dropping 30% year-over-year to $31.63 in Q4. The company managed around 1,020 MW of power capacity at year-end, with over 12,300 MW in development.

The company deepened its strategic partnership with Bitmain, securing a colocation deal expected to generate $125 million in annual revenue. Additionally, Hut 8 and Bitmain are working together to develop a next-generation ASIC miner.

Looking beyond Bitcoin mining, Hut 8 is expanding its artificial intelligence infrastructure. Its subsidiary, Highrise AI, signed a five-year deal for GPU-as-a-Service, while a $150 million investment from Coatue is set to further accelerate its AI initiatives.

Despite these advancements, Hut 8’s stock dropped 7.25% today, bringing its market capitalization to $1.5 billion.
