Hut 8 Corp. challenges short-seller report, claims financial solidity
Hut 8 Corp. counters an activist short-selling firm’s report, asserting the allegations as misleading and affirming its financial stability and operational integrity.
Hut 8 Corp., a leading North American digital asset mining company, rebuffed allegations made by a short-selling firm JCapital Research, labeling them “false and misleading.” The paper criticized Hut 8’s business practices and management, but the company counters these claims as inaccurate and speculative.
Hut 8, also a provider of high-performance computing infrastructure, dismissed the report as an attempt to tarnish its reputation and undermine its share price for the short-seller’s gain.
The company emphasized that the report misrepresents data, contains unfounded character attacks, and reflects a distorted understanding of its operations.
Bill Tai, Chairman of Hut 8’s Board of Directors, supported the company’s strategic direction and leadership, reaffirming their commitment to stakeholder interests. He highlighted the focus on Hut 8’s long-term vision and success.
Under CEO Jaime Leverton’s tenure, Hut 8 has pursued a diversified strategy. As of Dec. 31, 2023, the company held 9,195 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $390 million, and managed 205,759 miners across North America. Around 30% of its revenue came from fiat sources as of Sept. 30, 2023, distinguishing it from peers.
Leverton criticized the short report as speculative and defamatory, vowing to maintain the company’s growth trajectory and investor confidence. She emphasized the company’s unified approach and potential for future gains.
