Bernstein Liebhard LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of Hut 8 Corp. (“Hut 8 or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HUT) between November 9, 2023 and January 18, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the “Complaint”).

If you purchased or acquired Hut 8 securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit Hut 8 Corp. Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Investor Relations Manager Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com.

According to the Complaint, Hut 8 is a crypto currency and data mining company. The Company is engaged in Bitcoin mining and hosting, managed services, energy arbitrage, and operating traditional data centers. The Company operates computing infrastructure that mines Bitcoin and delivers computing services to enterprise customers.

Hut 8 formed following the November 2023 merger of Hut 8 Mining Corp. and U.S. Data Mining Group, Inc. d/b/a US Bitcoin Corp. (“USBTC”) (the “Merger”). USBTC held a 50% interest in a joint venture bitcoin mining facility, located in King Mountain, Texas (the “JV”), which was acquired in the Merger.

Throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose that: (1) one of USBTC’s largest shareholders was an undisclosed related party; (2) USBTC’s core asset has historically failed to provide energy and high-speed internet; and (3) the profitability of certain USBTC assets were overstated.

On January 18, 2024, at approximately 10:30 AM EST, J Capital Research published a report which alleged, inter alia, that Hut 8’s merger with USBTC was premised on a number of alleged misstatements, including that USBTC had an “undisclosed related party” as one of its largest shareholders, that the JV “has historically failed to provide energy and high-speed internet,” and (3) that the Company had misstated certain finances of the JV by failing to account for certain interest expenses. Citing individuals “highly familiar” with USBTC, the report stated that without the Merger, USBTC would have gone bankrupt and that USBTC had a value estimated to be 70% less than the approximately $745 million that Hut 8 paid to acquire it.

On this news, Hut 8’s stock price fell $2.16, or 23.3%, to close at $7.12 per share on January 18, 2024.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as lead plaintiff.
