Canada-based cryptocurrency mining company Hut 8 Mining has announced plans to merge with U.S. Bitcoin to form Hut 8 Corp, or "New Hut".
In a Feb. 7 announcement, Hut 8 said the boards of directors of the two firms had unanimously approved a definitive business combination agreement aimed at combining the mining firms in what will become a United States-based business. Once the deal is finalized, Hut 8 Mining and U.S. Bitcoin, or USBTC, will become subsidiaries of New Hut, with shareholders collectively owning 50% of the new merged firm.
Following the merger, the New Hut company will reportedly have access to roughly 825 megawatts across six facilities for crypto mining and other operations. This will include five sites in New York, Texas, and Canada’s Alberta province, with a self-mining capacity of 5.6 exahashes per second (EH/s).
