Hut 8 Corp. has secured $7.5 billion in fully amortising, investment-grade project financing to support construction at its River Bend and Beacon Point AI data center campuses, according to data from Dealroom.co.
The financing, raised through two separate offerings, was confirmed as of the end of the second quarter. The move adds to Hut 8’s broader shift from Bitcoin mining toward AI infrastructure, as the company looks to monetize its power portfolio and data-center assets through long-term contracts.
That repositioning gained fresh attention on September 1, when Hut 8 confirmed it is developing a data center in Nueces County, Texas, to be leased by Nvidia as part of a $35 billion computing agreement with Anthropic. Dealroom.co data shows the company is targeting large-scale, energy-intensive infrastructure backed by investment-grade tenants.

Hut 8’s strategy centers on locking in power and building out infrastructure tied to long-dated leases. The company has already signed a 15-year, $7 billion lease with Fluidstack for roughly 245 megawatts of capacity, with financial backing from Google. It also signed a 15-year, $9.8 billion lease covering 352 megawatts of AI factory capacity at its Beacon Point campus in Nueces County, Texas.
According to the source material from Dealroom.co, these agreements are part of an effort to move away from the more volatile economics of Bitcoin mining. Long-term leases and take-or-pay structures provide more revenue visibility than a business model tied to cryptocurrency prices, network difficulty, and energy costs. Once Hut 8 secures a long-term, investment-grade tenant, those contracted cash flows can support project-level debt financing.
That financing approach allows the company to expand while limiting how much capital it uses from its own balance sheet.
The build-out of large AI campuses also carries risks. Dealroom.co notes that such projects are capital-intensive and can face construction delays, power-delivery problems, permitting issues, and cost overruns. If projects are delayed, revenue could be pushed further out even as Hut 8 continues to absorb construction and financing costs.
Hut 8 is part of a wider trend of Bitcoin miners converting power and land assets into AI infrastructure, according to Dealroom.co. Its push to anchor the business with multibillion-dollar, long-term leases tied to Nvidia, Google, and Anthropic signals an effort to trade crypto volatility for the steadier economics of AI infrastructure development.
