HUT 8 MINING PRODUCTION AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Hut 8 Mining Corp. has advanced its bitcoin holdings in the period ending May 31, 2022, and began operations at its North Bay site on June 2, 2022.
Production highlights for May 2022:
- 309 bitcoin were mined, resulting in an average production rate of 10 bitcoin per day.
- The company's Ethereum mining -- for which it receives payment in bitcoin -- generated approximately 14 per cent of its total production at a cost of approximately $3,654 per BTC.
- 100 per cent of the self-mined bitcoin in May were deposited into custody, consistent with Hut 8's longstanding HODL strategy.
- The company concluded its bitcoin yield programs during the month, bringing 100 per cent of its reserves into custody.
- Total bitcoin balance held in reserve is 7,078 as of May 31, 2022.
- Installed operating capacity was 2.64 exahashes per second.
Additional updates:
- Power costs continued to fluctuate throughout the month, and the company limited its consumption at Drumheller when the spot price of power spiked.
- Testing began at Hut 8's third mine in North Bay, Ont., in late May and began operating on 15 megawatts of power on June 2, 2022, adding approximately 400 petahashes per second to Hut 8's operating capacity.
- The company is continuing to add miners and increase its power supply throughout June, and it anticipates that the North Bay mine will have a measurable impact on its production results going forward.
"We are thrilled that our most powerful and efficient machines are now mining bitcoin at our North Bay site," said Jaime Leverton, chief executive officer of Hut 8. "Over the next several weeks, our team will continue to install and bring miners on-line in real-time, complementing production at our facilities in Medicine Hat and Drumheller."
