Hut 8 sold about $250 million worth of BTC across Q3 and October to buy back its own stock. The pace of sales is accelerating, with 3,778 BTC in Q1 ($289.5 million), 5,887 BTC in Q2 ($443 million), and 10,599 BTC in Q3. Riot Platforms is now selling substantially all newly mined coins, essentially acting as a sell order with a power bill. Hut 8 sold 954 BTC in Q3 and 2,148 BTC in October, totaling 3,102 BTC, or about $250.2 million. Both companies are using the proceeds to fund their AI data center projects.
