Hut 8 (HUT, Financial), a Bitcoin miner, revealed Wednesday its intentions for a share repurchase program worth $250 million and an at-the-market (ATM) program of up to $500 million.
The corporation might periodically sell common stock under the ATM program using a controlled equity offering agreement. Program funds are set aside for general corporate objectives, debt payback, capital projects, Bitcoin acquisitions as a strategic reserve asset, and other uses including debt restructuring. Up to 4.68 million shares—or 5% of Hut 8's issued and outstanding shares—can be repurchased under the share buyback program.
With its stock rising over 180% in the past six months and 195% in the past three months Hut 8 has seen notable momentum. Furthermore the stock has risen 74% in the past month alone. Using its bitcoin holdings and expansion ambitions to stay competitive in a volatile market, Hut 8 intends to strengthen its position in the cryptocurrency mining field, so the announcements on the ATM and buyback come as expected.
