(Nasdaq | TSX: HUT) (“Hut 8″ or “the Company”), one of North America’s largest, innovation-focused digital asset mining pioneers, supporting open and decentralized systems since 2018, is pleased to provide the following corporate update. Mining Production Highlights for August 2021: 326 Bitcoin mined, resulting in average production of 10.5 Bitcoin per day 100% of self-mined Bitcoin were deposited into custody as of August 31, consistent with Hut 8’s “hodl” strategy Total Bitcoin balance held in reserve: 4,450 as of August 31, 2021 Received and installed 1,025 net new MicroBT machines, adding 92 PH/s to production rate The installation of additional MicroBT 30S machines in August brings Hut 8’s installed hashrate to 1.37 EH/s. Accordingly, despite recent upward network difficulty adjustments, we continue to mine approximately 9-10 Bitcoin per day. “We are pleased with another strong month from an operations perspective, with our Alberta-based team working to both optimize existing equipment, while continually bringing new miners online,” commented Shane Downey, Chief Financial Officer of Hut 8. “Specifically, we are excited to have begun the installation of NVIDIA cryptocurrency mining processors (”CMPs”). We remain encouraged that our previously announced strategy of mining the Ethereum network with these CMPs, while settling in Bitcoin, will provide compelling economics, with a total cost per Bitcoin expected to be under CAD$3,000.” About Hut 8: Hut 8 is one of North America’s largest innovation-focused digital asset miners, supporting open and decentralized systems since 2018.
