Crypto Miner Hut 8 Posts Record Sales: Bitcoin (BTC) Holdings Up 100 Percent

 


Canadian cryptocurrency miner Hut 8 released mixed financial results on Thursday. Although sales and mining profitability increased on the one hand, overall net profit fell on the other. This underscores the volatile year-end for Bitcoin ( BTC ) and the digital asset market as a whole.


The Toronto-based company, which is listed on the Nasdaq and the TSX, reported revenue up to $45.69 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. For comparison: In the previous year it was still 10.25 million US dollars. Revenue for the full year was $137.1 million. This corresponds to an increase of 326 percent compared to 2020.


Despite the high profit from mining, the company posted an overall loss of $0.53 per share in the fourth quarter. Losses totaled $0.43 per share for all of 2021.


Shares of Hut 8, which trades under the ticker symbol HUT, traded in a narrow range on Thursday. The stock was last trading at $5.23, according to TradingView.


Over the past 12 months, HUT has behaved very much like a crypto proxy stock , as its movements have been highly correlated with Bitcoin and the digital asset market as a whole. HUT peaked at $16 in early November. That was exactly the time Bitcoin posted a new all -time high above $69,000 .

In its quarterly report on the results, Hut 8 announced that it had mined 2,786 BTC in 2021. This has increased his total holdings to over 6,200 BTC. Bitcoin reserves are worth over $254 million at the current rate.


Only five other public companies hold more BTC than the Canadian miner : namely MicroStrategy, Tesla, Marathon Digital Holdings and Block (formerly Square).

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
