Hut 8 repays Genesis Capital loan, saves company US$1.6M

TORONTO, March 2, 2021 - Hut 8 Mining Corp. (TSX: HUT) announced that it has paid back its US$20M loan with Genesis Global Capital LLC ("Genesis") as planned, in full. The repayment of this loan means an extra $U2.4M for Hut 8, driven by the savings from interest expenses of US$1.6M.

"Hut 8 initially took out this loan with Genesis in November 2019 when bitcoin was close to US$7,000. This loan provided Hut 8 additional leverage to significantly benefit our balance sheet, as our bitcoin (which now sits at 3012 Bitcoin on balance), has more than doubled its previous all time highs in 2017" said Jimmy Vaiopoulos, Chief Financial Officer of Hut 8. "Hut 8 is now well capitalized. This full repayment of debt shows our position of strength in this fast growing industry."

"The benefits of this loan and it's repayment for Hut 8 signal the execution of our multi-pronged strategy to grow shareholder value," said Jaime Leverton, CEO, Hut 8. "We look to reduce expenses without reducing the bitcoin on our balance sheet. We look for revenue diversification strategies to provide increased downside risk protection. This is what Hut 8 is about and what we intend to keep doing as we grow."
