Hut 8's Stock Drops Despite Securing $1.07 Billion Credit Facility
On September 28, Hut 8 announced it had secured a $1.07 billion revolving credit facility, one of the largest financing deals in the Bitcoin mining sector this year. However, its stock price fell by about 6% over the week following the announcement and dropped sharply on September 25 when the deal closed. The credit line allows Hut 8 to borrow up to $1.07 billion as needed for four years at an interest rate of approximately 1.75 percentage points above SOFR, a benchmark overnight lending rate. JPMorgan Chase is acting as administrative and collateral agent on the facility. The company emphasized that this financing is non-dilutive and aims to strengthen its balance sheet while pursuing investment-grade status. Hut 8 operates Bitcoin mining, AI data centers, and cloud computing in Miami. It has already raised $7.5 billion for two major data center campuses, including a $9.8 billion lease at Beacon Point with a large tech tenant.
