What Happened?

Hut 8 (HUT) stock jumped last week, as investors reacted to news that the company has locked in long-term data center leases with Nvidia.

Reports say the deal covers Hut 8’s entire 1-gigawatt Texas data center, with base terms and renewal options that could total up to $50 billion over 30 years. That’s a major shift for a company once viewed mainly as a Bitcoin miner.

The Nvidia news isn’t the only good news. Hut 8’s Beacon Point campus, also a 1-gigawatt AI site in Nueces County, Texas, is now fully commercialized.

The company signed a second 15-year lease worth $9.8 billion for 352 megawatts of capacity, bringing the campus’s total contracted capacity to 704 megawatts with the same investment-grade tenant.

Wall Street has taken notice.

  • Piper Sandler raised its price target to $143 and called Hut 8 its favorite way to play the AI data center trend.
  • Benchmark lifted its target to $195 after the Beacon Point deal, and Morgan Stanley initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a $263 target, arguing that Hut 8 stock is being mispriced given the quality of its hyperscaler-style contracts.
  • Clear Street, Lucid Capital, Keefe Bruyette, and B. Riley have also issued bullish calls, with a consensus target near $161.

Hut 8 stock has been volatile lately. Shares pulled back from the $110-$115 range a few weeks ago down into the high $80s before stabilizing.

Behind the headlines, Hut 8 is positioning itself as a power-first AI infrastructure company, not just a crypto miner.

That means the business is built around securing electricity and land, then commercializing it through whatever application makes the most sense at the time, whether that’s Bitcoin mining or AI data centers.

The company says this approach has helped it avoid major supply chain delays and win support from Texas regulators focused on grid reliability and community impact.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Hut 8 Stock

The 6% jump in Hut 8 stock suggests investors are increasingly comfortable treating this as an AI infrastructure story rather than a Bitcoin proxy.

Multi-decade leases with a name like Nvidia give the stock revenue visibility that pure crypto miners simply don’t have.

That said, the stock’s recent swings, from the $110s down to the high $80s, show this is still a high-beta name.

The fundamentals reflect a company in heavy build mode, with negative margins and significant capital going into new campuses.

For now, the market seems to be rewarding the long-term contract wins more than worrying about near-term losses, but Hut 8 stock is likely to stay volatile as more of these AI infrastructure deals get tested in the market.
