Hut 8’s investors who incurred significant losses due to alleged securities fraud have the opportunity to lead a class action lawsuit against the firm. The period in question spans from November 9, 2023, to
January 18, 2024, during which Hut 8 Corp. is accused of withholding crucial
information from investors.
According to the complaint, Hut 8 failed to disclose
vital information to its investors. The
company allegedly concealed the fact that one of its largest shareholders is an
undisclosed related party.
Furthermore, there are claims that Hut 8 Corp.’s core
asset has a history of failing to provide energy and high-speed internet as
promised. Additionally, the profitability of certain assets is purported to
have been overstated by the company.
In
part, the statement shared by Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP read: “Throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to
investors: (1) that one of USBTC’s largest shareholders is an undisclosed
related party; (2) that USBTC’s core asset has historically failed to provide
energy and high-speed internet.”

“(3) that the profitability of certain USBTC
assets was overstated; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’
positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects
were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.” Finance Magnates contacted Hut 8 for comments and will update this story once we receive feedback from the company.

Hut 8’s Strategic Restructuring
Last month, HUT 8 announced a significant transition in its leadership following a merger between Hut 8 Corp. and US Bitcoin Corp. Asher
Genoot, previously the President and a Board member, assumed the role of Chief
Executive Officer, succeeding Jaime Leverton.
Genoot has a wealth of experience from his previous role as
the President of US Bitcoin Corp, a venture-backed private Bitcoin mining
company. His track record includes overseeing a 730 MW
portfolio across data centers in Texas, Nebraska, and New York.
Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Hut 8 Corp. focuses on Bitcoin mining, managed
services, energy arbitrage, and traditional data center operations. The
company’s diverse portfolio includes computing data centers in British Columbia
and Ontario and Bitcoin mining and hosting sites across Alberta, New York,
Nebraska, and Texas.
Last year, the firm faced a substantial decrease in revenue due to operational challenges such as increased network difficulties and
electrical issues.
