Hut 8 and American Bitcoin announce partnership

Hut 8 (NASDAQ:HUT), a Bitcoin-mining and digital infrastructure company, announced a deal with American Bitcoin on Monday. Under the terms of the agreement, American Bitcoin, a firm founded by a group of investors that includes Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, will take ownership of Hut 8’s Bitcoin-mining hardware.

The partnership will form a new subsidiary “focused exclusively on industrial-scale Bitcoin mining and strategic Bitcoin reserve development,” with Hut 8 controlling a majority stake.

“The launch of American Bitcoin marks a pivotal evolution in our platform strategy,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, in a press release. “By carving out our mining business into a standalone entity, which will raise its own capital, we align each segment of the business with its respective cost of capital. The transaction creates two focused yet complementary businesses, each purpose-built for its respective mandate.”
