.@SpaceX is proving that in an AI age, the best companies won't do just one thing. They become mini holding companies — a portfolio of distinct verticals, each a real business, connected by the same underlying dots. SpaceX builds rockets, but also runs an internet provider, a social network, and data centers. That's not one business model — it's several, sharing a common spine of talent, capital, and capability. The question isn't "what's our product" but "where can we deploy our skills next." That's the shift: from a single business model to a compounding set of them. Each vertical stands alone, but together they're far harder to compete with than any one could be alone.

Today, E. Stanley (Stan) O'Neal succeeds Founding Chair Bill Tai as Chair of the Hut 8 Board of Directors. Bill stewarded Hut 8 through its most formative years, from pioneering startup to institutional platform. He continues to serve on the Board as a director and member of the Nominating and Governance Committee. Stan has served as an independent director since November 2023, and previously as a director of US Bitcoin Corp. He brings decades of senior executive leadership to the role — including as Chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch & Co. He assumes the Chairmanship as we continue to build what we believe will become an enduring, generational business at the intersection of energy and technology.

Hut 8 has closed a $4.25 billion offering of investment-grade senior secured notes for Beacon Point, our second investment-grade data center construction financing following River Bend. Highlights of the offering include: - A fully amortizing structure that is non-recourse to Hut 8 and non-dilutive to existing shareholders; - A Baa2 rating from Moody’s Ratings, one notch above the ratings assigned to the River Bend notes by S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings, and an issuance spread 20 basis points tighter than that of the River Bend notes; - And a substantially oversubscribed book that broadens Hut 8’s institutional credit investor base. Together, the financings bring Hut 8’s cumulative project-level, investment-grade data center construction financing to $7.5 billion, reinforcing the repeatability of our financing model and our ability to scale data center development while preserving balance-sheet flexibility.

If big companies can't make a net return on their LLM token costs, that doesn't mean it's impossible to. In fact this is exactly what you'd expect to happen with a new technology. Incumbents can't use it well, and are replaced by upstarts who can.

This is very cool. Just the start of amazing new use cases of AI to change the way we fundamentally do things
this is just the most ridiculous AI application i've ever seen lol a Peter Thiel-backed startup that makes AI collars for cows is now worth $2 billion and the more I read about it the cooler it gets. here's how it works: every cow wears a solar-powered collar that talks to a network of radio towers and an app on the farmer's phone instead of building physical fences, the farmer draws the fence on a map in the app, and the collar keeps each cow inside that invisible line using GPS when a cow drifts toward the edge, the collar plays a sound to steer her, and a gentle vibration tells her which way to go. it's like how a car beeps as you back up toward a wall the cows learn the cues in a few days so now a rancher can move an entire herd to fresh grass by sliding the fence on a map, without driving out to open a single gate and that same collar is reading each cow's body the whole time. it takes five readings per second on every animal, so the AI can catch a cow that's sick, injured, ready to breed, or about to give birth before a person would ever notice walking the field so it's basically like WHOOP for cows too lol and they gave the AI behind it the perfect name: the Cowgorithm it's been trained on more than 7 billion hours of real cow behavior, which is why Halter calls the data its real asset and moat. they know what a normal cow looks like better than anyone, so they can flag the odd one out instantly it's already on more than 1M cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and a bunch of US states. California even used it on public land to graze cattle in patterns that clear dry brush and slow down wildfires costs about $5 to $8 per cow per month a job that used to mean barbed wire, gates, and driving the fields all day is now mostly 1 person on their phone

It's been 1 year of ABTC, but every decision is measured the same way: does it increase Bitcoin per share. Through accumulation, efficiency gains, and careful capital use, we aim to grow each shareholder's Bitcoin per share over time. #ABTC @ashergenoot

The anti-datacenter movement is growing. Water, energy, and fear about jobs. "What's driving this are fears that are not true" says @ashergenoot CEO @Hut8Corp "Datacenters are asked to pay for all the up-front CAPEX... you are actually investing into a better grid for everyone else to use"

A data center campus is a multi-decade commitment to a community. We believe that commitment begins long before the foundation is poured. As we develop our one-gigawatt Beacon Point project in Nueces County, Texas, we intend to be a thoughtful and enduring presence in the Coastal Bend. This spring, we sponsored the Buc Days Build, a project organized in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Corpus Christi. Alongside fellow volunteers at the city's annual Buc Days festival, members of our team helped raise the frame of what will become home for the Ramon family — a single mother and her two daughters in Robstown. We are proud to support organizations and initiatives that strengthen the communities where we build. Our thanks to Habitat for Humanity Corpus Christi and Buc Days for allowing us to be part of this effort. We look forward to continuing to support the Coastal Bend community in meaningful and lasting ways.

I can't overstate how far this team has come. US Bitcoin Corp started lean, hungry, and ambitious. At the end of 2023, we merged with Hut 8, and a few months later, I became CEO. Everything that we’ve achieved since then is the work of our team. We've moved faster and gone further than anyone thought possible — and our ambition is only growing. I'm incredibly proud of what this team has built and honored to lead it every day. Now let’s keep building!

In just over 8 months since our Nasdaq debut, @ABTC has rapidly scaled to 7,300 Bitcoin, nearly 90,000 mining machines, and an amazing 52.4% gross margin. Today we rank as the #16 largest public Bitcoin treasury in the world — and we’re adding to our holdings every day. In Q1 2026, we delivered our strongest quarter yet: 817 BTC mined at a 47% cost discount, while growing our reserves by over 1,600 BTC. Massive congratulations to this incredible team and the entire @ABTC family! @Hut8Corp @ashergenoot @mikehomkh @MattPrusak
