Hut 8’s GPU-as-a-Service and HPC Play With Sue Ennis

Welcome back to the Mining Pod! For this week’s Bitcoin Stock Show, we sit down with Sue Ennis, the head of investor relations at Hut 8, to discuss Hut 8’s AI/HPC business line. The conversation covers Hut 8’s original foray into HPC with its Terago acquisition in 2022, its new GPU-as-a-Service business line, what makes an ideal HPC data center, what has changed with Hut 8 since the merger with US Bitcoin Corporation, and everything in between – including a little teasing about a 1 GW acquisition that Hut 8 has in the pipeline. 👉 Get tickets to OP_NEXT by visiting the website!
