<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Hut 8, a significant player in North America’s <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/blackrock-follows-bitcoin-etf-applications-closely/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> mining sector, reported a significant 36% drop in Bitcoin production in April. This decrease occurred following the latest Bitcoin halving event and the company’s relocation of mining operations. Contrary to the industry’s broader decline of 6-12%, Hut 8 experienced a sharper drop, with April production at only 148 Bitcoins compared to March.</p> 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="shocking-drop-in-mining-company">Shocking Drop in Mining Company</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">This decline was largely due to the relocation of mining hardware from facilities in Kearney and Granbury to Texas. The facility in Salt Creek, which has a strong capacity of 63 megawatts, served for three months after construction began. This transition is part of a broader strategy to consolidate Hut 8’s mining operations into a single, more efficient location.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">The production drop coincided with a 51% decrease in the company’s hashrate from its peak in December, shortly after Hut 8’s merger with USBTC. CEO Asher Genoot highlighted that over 25,000 miners were moved in just eight days. This step was marked by a rapid transition aimed at minimizing operational downtime.</p> 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="notable-details-for-hut-8">Notable Details for Hut 8</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Hut 8 significantly increased its mining activities; overall mining, hosting, and managed power capacity exceeded one gigawatt. This includes the partial activation of a new 215-megawatt facility dedicated to Ionic Digital in Ward County, Texas.</p>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">On the other hand, Hut 8’s shares fell 7.46% to $8.19 after the announcement, as there was only a 0.98% drop before the report. Hut 8 continues to be one of the smallest mining <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">companies</a> in the <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">market</a> with a market value of $732.8 million.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">In another record, GoMining raised $3 million through a direct <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">investment</a> by leading international VC fund Bitscale Capital. The deal will involve Bitscale Capital purchasing $3 million worth of equity in the form of the local cryptocurrency token GOMINING. Developments following the halving process continue to challenge mining companies.</p>
