Hut 8 Corp., one of North America’s largest digital asset miners, strongly denied allegations made by short-selling firm JCapital Research in a recent report. Hut 8 labeled the claims as “false and misleading” in a statement on Wednesday.
JCapital’s report criticized Hut 8’s business model, management practices, and financial health. However, Hut 8 countered that the report contains inaccurate data, unfounded personal attacks, and a flawed understanding of its operations.
Hut 8 Chairman Bill Tai affirmed his support for the company’s leadership and strategic vision. Under CEO Jaime Leverton, Hut 8 has focused on diversification and long-term growth. As of December 2022, Hut 8 held over 9,000 Bitcoin valued at $390 million and managed over 200,000 miners across North America.
Leverton characterized the JCapital report as speculative and defamatory. She vowed that Hut 8 will maintain its growth momentum and investor confidence going forward with its strong, unified approach.
Hut 8 believes the report’s claims are an attempt to undermine its share price for the short seller’s gain. The company emphasized its potential for future success as it continued executing its strategy.
