Item 4Summary of Material Change

 

On June 30, 2021, the Company announced that it has executed on a $44.373 million USD purchase of 11,090 MicroBT M30S, M30S+ and M31S miners from SuperAcme Technology (Hong Kong) Limited, representing approximately $44/Terahash. The miners are expected to be delivered starting in October 2021 and full deployment is anticipated to be complete by December 2021. The anticipated production capacity increase with both purchases upon full deployment is expected to be 1.081 E/H, which alongside previously announced investments, should bring Hut 8’s total installed capacity to approximately 2.5 E/H.

 

Item 5Full Description of Material Change

 

On June 30, 2021, the Company announced that it has executed on a $44.373 million USD purchase of 11,090 MicroBT M30S, M30S+ and M31S miners from SuperAcme Technology (Hong Kong) Limited (“SuperAcme”), representing approximately $44/Terahash. The miners are expected to be delivered starting in October 2021 and full deployment is anticipated to be complete by December 2021. This purchase complements a smaller purchase of 863 M30S+ and M30S miners made earlier that is expected to be delivered and fully deployed in July 2021.

 

The anticipated production capacity increase with both purchases upon full deployment is expected to be 1.081 E/H, which alongside previously announced investments, should bring Hut 8’s total installed capacity to approximately 2.5 E/H. The new fleet of miners is expected to make up the first operational fleet in the Company’s planned 100 MW facility being developed in partnership with Validus Power.

 

The 2.5 E/H installed production capacity noted above adds to the 1,600 Gigahash anticipated from the NVIDIA cryptocurrency mining processors. Given current bitcoin network dynamics, these hashrate installations are expected to increase Hut 8’s current average production from 6.5 – 7.5 Bitcoin per day, to 14 – 16 Bitcoin per day based on current economic conditions.
