Anthropic to Buy Computing Power from Hut 8's Texas Data Center
HUT has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $24.202 on light trading volume (0.2× avg).
Summary
Anthropic, a major AI startup, will acquire computing power from Hut 8's Beacon Point data center in Texas. The deal is part of Anthropic's $35 billion purchase of computing capacity from Lambda, an AI cloud company backed by Nvidia. Nvidia holds the lease on Hut 8's facility, and Anthropic will buy computing power from that facility. This adds a high-profile AI customer to Hut 8's already fully leased campus, which has $19.6 billion in contracted value from two 15-year leases. The news validates Hut 8's pivot from Bitcoin mining to AI data centers and could drive further demand for its capacity.
