Hut8 amasses largest cryptocurrency
Canadian mining company Hut 8 continues to accumulate its own mined assets due to depressed cryptocurrency market conditions. Meanwhile, he saw Bitcoin holdings surpass the 8,000 Bitcoin (BTC) mark. Hut 8 has released its final mining report for August 2022. This showed that he increased his Bitcoin holdings by 375 BTC to bring his total reserves to 8,111 BTC. The mining firm reported that it mined 12.1 BTC per day during the month.
Other mining operators have had to sell some of their BTC holdings amid the ongoing cryptocurrency bear market. On the other hand, Hut 8 has managed to maintain its self-described “long-standing HODL strategy.” It still holds all of its mined BTC. Hut 8 also announced that it has installed 180 Nvidia GPUs in its main data center in Kelowna, Canada. The center is currently mining Ethereum (ETH). But Merge will happen in September 2022, GPU mining equipment will be used to provide artificial intelligence, machine learning or VFX processing services.
Hut 8 also continued to increase its mining capacity with the acquisition of Chinese ASIC MicroBT miners.

HIVE Blockchain also announced August figures
