The miner’s fourth-quarter revenue was in line with predictions, while EBITDA fell short of expectations.
Hut 8 Mining (HUT), a Canadian cryptocurrency miner, revealed an unexpected fourth-quarter adjusted loss of C$0.67 (loss of $0.53) per share.
According to FactSet data, the average analyst estimate indicated earnings of C$0.17.
According to the miner, the loss was mostly attributable to a non-cash revaluation loss of $114.2 million on liability warrants, which was somewhat offset by increasing revenue.
