Hut 8 Announces Update to Operations and Change of Auditor

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 8, 2019) - (TSXV: HUT) (OTCQX: HUTMF) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), one of the world's largest public cryptocurrency mining companies by operating capacity and market capitalization, today announced updates to its operations and a change of its auditor.

Hut 8 successfully completed the purchase of 12 additional BlockBox AC data centers from Bitfury® in December 2018 as stated in its press release on November 12, 2018. The new BlockBox AC data centers utilize the Bitfury Clarke ASIC chips, manufactured by Bitfury. The performance of these new data centers has exceeded expectations by producing 12.2 Petahash per second ("PH/s") per BlockBox AC data center, but consuming approximately 1.1 MW of electricity instead of the 12 PH/s and 1.2 MWs expected prior to installation.

In addition, as a result of electricity optimization across its sites, Hut 8's 85 BlockBox AC data centers are consuming, on average, 1.12 MWs each while still producing an aggregate output of approximately 784 PH/s. We are pleased to be consuming less electricity, without impacting our mining output. As a result, Hut 8's current aggregate operating electrical consumption is approximately 95.2 MWs, instead of the previously expected 100.2 MWs of consumption, across its 85 Blockbox AC data centers.

Hut 8 has also changed its auditors from MNP LLP ("Former Auditor") to Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP ("Successor Auditor") effective January 8, 2019. There were no reservations from the Former Auditor's ending at the date of the replacement. There are no "reportable events" (as the term is defined in National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102")) between the Company and the Former Auditor. In accordance with NI 51-102, the notice of change of auditor, together with the required letters from the Former Auditor and the Successor Auditor, have been reviewed by the board of directors of the Company and filed on SEDAR.

Since beginning its mining operations in December 2017, Hut 8 has mined over 5,600 bitcoins. Hut 8's current capital structure consists of 85,359,833 common shares outstanding, 2,882,222 warrants and 965,000 options. In total, Hut 8 owns and operates two sites in Alberta, Canada utilizing 85 BlockBox AC data centers with current operating capacity of 95.2 MW and 784 PH/s.
