Hut 8 Mining Corp opens Bitcoin Yield Account with Genesis
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 6, 2021) – Hut 8 Mining Corp. (TSX: HUT) (OTCQX: HUTMF) (“Hut 8” or “the Company”), a publicly listed bitcoin mining company, today announced the opening of a Bitcoin (BTC) Yield Account in partnership with Genesis Global Capital, a company providing a single point of access for digital asset markets.
The BTC Yield account will enable Hut 8 to earn at a 4 per cent rate of return on its BTC Holdings. With an initial investment of 1000 bitcoin, the Genesis Yield Account will allow Hut 8 to increase or decrease holdings with one days’ notice, offering both the returns and the flexibility essential for continued and strategic growth.
“Genesis has been building increasingly sophisticated infrastructure for crypto markets since we launched the first U.S. OTC bitcoin trading desk in 2013. Today we’re a full-service digital asset prime brokerage providing a range of services across the cryptocurrency ecosystem. We’re excited to be working with Hut 8 – the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining operation in the Canadian market – to enable them to generate yield on BTC. Our work together is another indicator of Bitcoin’s growing value for institutional investors,” says Matt Ballensweig, VP Head of Lending.
“At Hut 8, our strategy is focused on creating incremental value,” says Jaime Leverton, CEO. “We are excited to be partnering with Genesis to manage our digital assets, allowing us to yield Fiat currency from the significant BTC on our balance sheet, minimize Hut 8’s Fiat expenses and subsequently expand our ability to hold Bitcoin rather than sell. Our current momentum and trajectory are just the start of what’s to come in 2021 for Hut 8 and its investors.”
The BTC Yield account is central to Hut 8 strategy, allowing the company to leverage Bitcoin to earn interest in Fiat, enabling payment to operational expenditure in centralized currency and ultimately increasing Hut 8’s capacity to HODL.
