Canada-based cryptocurrency miner, Hut 8 Mining, has released its financial results for the year and quarter that ended on December 31st, 2022. Despite facing challenges such as fluctuating power prices, increased network difficulty, and the suppression in Bitcoin price, the company managed to increase its mining production by over 28% year over year and ramp up its fiat revenues by CA$16.9 million.
However, Hut 8’s revenue was down by over 13% to CA$150.7 million during the year that ended December 31, 2022, compared to CA$173.8 million recorded in 2021. Despite this, the company managed to mine 3,568 Bitcoin last year, representing a 28.1% increase compared to 2021, attributed to an increase in hash rate from the expansion of its fleet of miners and mining activities.
In a statement, the company’s CEO, Jaime Leverton, highlighted that 2022 was a challenging time for the company, but they were able to navigate through the difficulties and achieve significant growth. Leverton also expressed optimism for the future, stating that Hut 8 is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for cryptocurrency mining.
