Hut 8 Posts 81% Revenue Gain and $177 Million GAAP Loss

Unrealized markdowns on Bitcoin produced the accounting loss as the company pushes to convert leased AI data centers into long-term cash flow.

Overview

  • Hut 8 reported second-quarter revenue of $74.9 million, up about 81% year‑over‑year, but the result missed analyst estimates and investors reacted with a mid‑single to double‑digit share drop.
  • The company posted a consolidated GAAP net loss of $177.1 million driven mainly by $138.6 million of unrealized losses on Bitcoin, while adjusted EBITDA excluding digital‑asset mark‑to‑market swings rose to $10.4 million.
  • Compute operations generated roughly $72.5 million of the quarter’s revenue, making leased AI and cloud computing the company’s dominant business and supporting higher Bitcoin production at its facilities.
  • Hut 8 closed about $7.5 billion of non‑recourse project financing and now shows 949 MW of contracted AI capacity with about $26.6 billion of expected base‑term contract value and an 8.7 GW development pipeline.
  • Liquidity is concentrated in project accounts rather than at the parent, with only about $233.6 million of unrestricted cash outside projects, and analysts flag ERCOT interconnection timing and Texas grid planning as the key near‑term execution risks for energizing Beacon Point and River Bend.
