On August 27, Hut 8 Mining Corp rose 5.42% in regular trading, trading at $87.575/share, with turnover of $28.40 million. The stock continues to gain momentum as Bitcoin sustains its position above $80,000 for the first time since May, fueling broad strength across crypto-related equities.
Bitcoin's surge past $80,000 has been driven by multiple tailwinds including the U.S. Treasury's expanded long-term bond buyback program weakening the dollar, renewed inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs totaling $1.92 billion last week, and forced liquidation of over $4.5 billion in crypto short positions. The \"debasement trade\" narrative — where investors seek alternatives to fiat currency amid fiscal deficit concerns — has simultaneously boosted gold and Bitcoin.
Beyond crypto exposure, Hut 8 benefits from its AI data center transformation. The company signed a $9.8 billion 15-year lease fully commercializing its 1 GW Beacon Point campus in Texas, with Nvidia reportedly committing leases worth up to $50 billion for the facility. Morgan Stanley initiated coverage with an Overweight rating in July.
