Hut 8, an energy infrastructure provider and top Bitcoin miner, has announced that its GPU-as-a-service vertical is live.

Hut 8 eyeing AI push

Per the press release, Hut 8 subsidiary Highrise AI will host the GPU-as-a-service business, with a five-year deal in place for revenue sharing and infrastructure payments.

The arrangement sees Hut 8 diversify its operations further, and now includes a compute layer that spans artificial intelligence, Bitcoin mining, and cloud services.

“Consistent with our commitment to disciplined capital allocation, we believe a thoughtfully structured AI compute business will be accretive both financially and strategically and drive topline growth, revenue diversification, and long-term value creation, “ said Asher Genoot, Hut 8’s CEO.

A new next-gen mining chip

Hut 8’s launch of the new business vertical comes a few days after the miner announced the launch of U3S21EXPH, a new ASIC miner with direct liquid-to-chip (DLC) cooling.

The miner partnered with leading crypto mining chip maker BITMAIN to develop this new ASIC mining chip. Hut 8 plans to deploy the new model in the second quarter of 2025 via an approximately 15 exahashes per second hosting deployment.

Initial deployment of the 15 EH/s will push Hut 8’s hashrate by about 81%, while the miner expects a possible 20 EH/s of self-mining.
