Bitfury Group Limited

Fasken advised the Bitfury Group (Bitfury) in its partnership with Hut 8 Mining Corp. (Hut 8) to acquire, install, maintain and operate North America’s largest bitcoin mining datacenters.
 
Bitfury, the world’s leading full-service blockchain technology company and one of the largest private infrastructure providers in the blockchain ecosystem, will exclusively provide to Hut 8 a bitcoin mining solution comprised of a proprietary mix of hardware, software, installation and operational services.
 
Bitfury’s market share, unmatched computing power, ability to scale, and board of experienced directors will offer Hut 8 an extreme advantage in a competitive marketplace. Upon completion of the partnership, Hut 8 will own and operate what is believed to be the largest cryptocurrency mining farm in North America.
