Transformation and Revenue Growth:
- Hut 8 Corp reported revenue growth of 69% year-over-year, reaching $162.4 million for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024.

Power Segment and Managed Services:
- Power segment revenue more than doubled year-over-year to $56.6 million.
- This increase was driven by an $11.4 million rise in power generation revenue and a $22.4 million increase in managed services revenue, attributed to the full ramp-up of the MSA with Ionic Digital and a $13.5 million termination fee from Marathon.
Digital Infrastructure Expansion:
- The digital infrastructure segment saw revenue more than double, reaching $17.5 million.
- Growth was primarily driven by a $5.2 million increase in CPU colocation revenue and a $4 million increase in ASIC colocation revenue, supported by a full-year of revenue recognition at traditional data centers and the expected impact of the agreement with BITMAIN.
Bitcoin Mining and Compute Operations:
- Compute segment revenue increased by 24% year-over-year to $80.7 million.
- This rise was due to a $7.3 million increase in Bitcoin mining revenue and a $6.7 million increase in recurring data center cloud revenue, reflecting the full-year impact of operations at traditional data centers, and a $1.8 million contribution from GPU as a service.
