Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - March 22, 2024) - Attention Hut 8 Corp. ("Hut 8") (NASDAQ: HUT) Investors. A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Hut 8 on behalf of purchasers of Hut 8's securities between November 9, 2023 and January 18, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period").
CLICK HERE to learn more about the lawsuit.
Important deadline: Investors who purchased or acquired Hut 8 securities during the Class Period may, no later than April 8, 2024, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.
Hut 8 is a crypto currency and data mining company which mines Bitcoin and delivers computing services to enterprise customers. Hut 8 formed following the November 2023 merger of Hut 8 Mining Corp. and U.S. Data Mining Group, Inc. d/b/a US Bitcoin Corp. ("USBTC") (the "Merger").
The truth regarding Hut 8's financial condition emerged on January 18, 2024, when J Capital Research published a report which alleged, inter alia, that Hut 8's merger with USBTC was premised on a number of alleged misstatements, including that: (1) the USBTC had an "undisclosed related party" as one of its largest shareholders, (2) one of USBTC's core assets, the King Mountain JV, "has historically failed to provide energy and high-speed internet," and (3) Hut 8 had misstated certain finances of the King Mountain JV by failing to account for certain interest expenses. The J Capital Research report alleged that, without the Merger, USBTC would have undergone bankruptcy and that USBTC had a value estimated to be 70% less than the approximately $745 million that Hut 8 paid to acquire it.
Following this news, Hut 8's stock price fell $2.16, or 23.3%, to close at $7.12 per share on January 18, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
