What happened
Bitcoin miner Hut 8 announced plans to develop four new sites across the United States, adding 1.53 gigawatts of utility capacity to its platform. The expansion includes projects in Texas, Louisiana, and Illinois, with the largest site in Texas rated at 1,000 MW. Hut 8 also secured three 15-year leases covering 949 MW at Beacon Point in Texas and River Bend in Louisiana.

Why it matters
The company reported that its second-quarter revenue rose 81% year over year but missed analyst estimates. The expansion faces operational hurdles, including power uncertainty in Texas due to ERCOT's delayed Batch Zero transmission-planning study. Hut 8's direct exposure is tied to Beacon Point, a 1 GW campus with 704 MW of contracted critical IT load.
