Hut 8 Mining Corp. , one of North America’s largest, innovation-focused digital asset mining pioneers and high performance computing infrastructure provider, has signed a partnership with Foundry Digital LLC (“Foundry”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Currency Group Inc.

“Hut 8 has been a trusted partner of Foundry’s since 2020,” said Dan Magnuszewski, CTO of Foundry. “As Bitcoin industry veterans with expertise in data centre infrastructure, Hut 8 knows our industry intimately, which is why they were a natural fit when we sought infrastructure services.”
