HUT8 the bitcoin miner that is running on a V8. Currently the stock is trading in the 45 range

but was almost a year and half earlier in the $17 range mark. What’s eyepopping about this

security is the liquid options market. A few standard deviations out on either side is at the 1.01

mark. If you multiplied that out that’s about 10,000 USD for the call options. The company has shown a habit of mergers and may see on in the near future too.


What do investors need to know about HUT8, the engine that can’t be stopped:


A Bitcoin mining and digital infrastructure company based in North America. At its core HUT 8 makes money by:

1. Mining Bitcoin

2. Holding bitcoin on its balance sheet

3. Providing high-performance computing and data center services.


When Bitcoin rises and energy cost stay controlled, margins expand fast.


Infrastructure and Data Centers Hut8 has been expanding into:

-Colocation services

-High performance computing

-AI related infrastructure

This diversification is designed to smooth revenue during crypto downtime.


Why retail investors should watch HUT 8.

Pros:

-Liquid options market

-High upside and crypto exposure

-Infrastructure and pivot adds stability long term


Cons:

-Extremely volatile(good for options traders) potentially diluting share price

-Energy cost diluting margins

-Extremely correlated to bitcoin


Overall HUT8 has been on a tear the past years and shows no signs of stopping. A liquid options market in both directions and management that has shown a willingness to keep merging.
