THE MINING POD: Hut 8, Crusoe’s $600M, DCG’s Fortitude, Riot’s HODL and Coinbase’s PNUT

CoinDesk Podcast Network

Hyperscalers are coming to Bitcoin mining. Actually, it's the other way around!

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! In today’s show were ripping on Hut 8’s $12 billion build out in Louisiana for a full hyperscaler facility. Yes, that’s nearly 6x the marketcap of Hut 8 currently! We also go into Crusoe’s $600M raise from Founders Fund, our scoop on DCG spinning out Foundry’s self-mining assets, Riot joining the HODL gang with Microstrategy and MARA and some final thoughts on Coinbase listing random tokens for ‘just the funsies.’ Oh, also Texas is going to do a Bitcoin Reserve!
