What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Revenue and EBITDA outperformance: Q3 revenue $83.5M vs $43.7M YoY; Adj. EBITDA $109.0M vs $5.6M YoY, reflecting expanded compute operations and digital asset gains .
- Development pipeline momentum: Advanced 1,530 MW from exclusivity to development, introducing clearer late-stage visibility; CEO: “inflection point in the scale and maturity of our development flywheel” .
- Balance sheet strategy: New $1B ATM and $200M revolver; strategic Bitcoin reserve to 13,696 BTC; CFO highlighted ~$986M incremental value and liquidity from reserve via price appreciation, credit facilities, and covered calls .
What Went Wrong
- Power segment revenue declined YoY to $8.4M (from $26.2M) due to managed services wind-down with IONIQ, partially offset by stronger power generation; segment cost of revenue increased with higher output .
- Consolidation eliminates intercompany revenue: Managed services and ASIC colocation with ABTC are eliminated in consolidation, obscuring underlying Power/Digital Infrastructure economics despite operational activity .
- Continued dependence on digital asset gains: Net income and EBITDA materially influenced by $76.6M gains on digital assets this quarter, raising volatility concerns for normalized profitability .

- CEO on AI scope: “AI is only the first chapter… power infrastructure will form the backbone for a broader class of next generation technology” .
Q&A Highlights
- HPC tenant traction and valuation disconnect: Management emphasized execution to close the gap in perceived pipeline value; faster-moving customer conversations amid strong demand .
- Development progress: All four 1.5 GW sites have land control and utility agreements; active procurement of long-lead items with commonality across sites to reduce risk .
- Riverbend timeline: Expect 2026 RFS; active civil, switchyard, and substation work; engagement with Entergy to scale toward 1 GW over time .
- ABTC ownership and consolidation: Hut 8 to maintain voting control even if economic ownership dips; ABTC treasury ~4,000 BTC; ~25 EH/s; aim to grow Bitcoin per share .

Estimates Context
Revenue and EPS vs S&P Global consensus
Values retrieved from S&P Global.* Note: Company-reported diluted EPS from continuing operations for Q3 was $0.43, which differs from S&P “Primary EPS” framework; differences reflect methodology and normalization conventions .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Q3 beat on revenue and S&P EPS driven by ABTC scale-up and digital asset gains; headline margins strong, but normalized earnings remain sensitive to Bitcoin mark-to-market .
- Development flywheel entered late-stage execution with 1.53 GW under Development; watch for definitive tenant agreements at Riverbend and other sites as catalysts .
- Consolidation with ABTC obscures underlying Power/Digital Infrastructure revenue; consider sum-of-the-parts framing with ABTC market value and contracted infrastructure economics .
- Capital capacity increased (ATM $1B, revolver $200M); management favors non-recourse project financing—reduces enterprise risk while funding scale .
- Operational risk mitigated via supply-chain planning (common gear reserve) and modular designs; supports aggressive timelines under industry-wide power constraints .
- Strategic reserve (13,696 BTC) enhances liquidity and optionality; covered calls and credit lines add right-way risk and flexible funding .
- Portfolio optimization underway (sale of Ontario plants to TransAlta) to redeploy toward higher-return data center opportunities—expect capital allocation discipline to remain a core theme .
