Hut 8's Texas data center included in Anthropic's $35 billion AI computing power procurement agreement

According to CoinDesk, AI company Anthropic has reached a $35 billion computing power procurement agreement with Lambda, an AI cloud service provider supported by NVIDIA, part of which will be provided through Bitcoin mining company Hut 8's Beacon Point facility located in Nueces County, Texas.Hut 8 previously disclosed that the facility has signed two long-term leases for 15 years, covering 704 MW of IT capacity, with a total contract value of $19.6 billion, but the identity of the tenants had not been disclosed earlier. The facility spans 525 acres and has a maximum power access capacity of 1 GW with ready grid connections.According to the currently disclosed transaction structure, NVIDIA holds the lease for the facility, Lambda will deploy NVIDIA chips, and Anthropic will procure the computing power generated from this. Hut 8 has not confirmed how much of the 704 MW capacity is related to Lambda and Anthropic, nor has it confirmed whether NVIDIA is the previously undisclosed tenant.As the demand for power and computing resources in AI data centers surges, Bitcoin mining companies with ready power and grid access capabilities are accelerating their transformation into AI infrastructure. Mining companies including Hut 8, TeraWulf, IREN, and Bitdeer have all entered the AI data center market by selling or leasing computing power and power infrastructure.Hut 8's revenue for the second quarter of this year was $74.93 million, a year-on-year increase of 81%; its two leases at Beacon Point have a total value of $19.6 billion, and the facility is expected to generate approximately $1.31 billion in operating profit annually once fully operational.

first_img Thailand's SEC proposes allowing retail investors to trade regulated overseas crypto derivatives

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC) has proposed allowing intermediaries to provide certain digital asset derivatives traded overseas to retail investors. According to the proposal, eligible products must be similar to crypto derivatives traded domestically in Thailand, including aspects such as underlying assets, duration, leverage, and settlement methods. At the same time, these products must be traded on exchanges that adopt central counterparty clearing and are supervised by regulatory bodies belonging to specific international regulatory or exchange organizations.Crypto derivatives that do not meet the above conditions will only be available to institutional investors. The Thai SEC stated that institutional investors are better equipped to assess and manage complex and high-risk products. Current rules only allow intermediaries to provide relevant investment services to retail and high-net-worth clients when overseas derivatives are similar to domestic trading products, while overseas crypto derivatives, due to their varying structures and risk levels, require targeted regulations.This consultation is the latest initiative by Thailand to incorporate crypto-related products into the regulated capital market. The Thai SEC officially designated cryptocurrencies and digital tokens as permissible derivative underlying assets in a notice issued on March 5 and is discussing potential contract specifications with the Thailand Futures Exchange. The consultation will continue until September 30, and the Thai SEC has not yet announced the proposed implementation date for the revisions.
