PANews, August 6: According to Cryptoslate, as of June 30, Bitcoin mining company Hut 8 reported that its cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents exceeded $7 billion; however, its quarterly filing submitted on August 4 revealed that only $233.6 million of this amount was unrestricted cash available for general corporate purposes. The remaining $6.8 billion, or 96.7% of the total, consisted of restricted cash. Most of these funds are restricted for use in the construction of the River Bend and Beacon Point projects and for debt repayment, limiting its operational liquidity. It remains unclear whether project delays or cost overruns will compel the parent company to inject additional equity before debt principal repayments for these projects are due in 2028 and 2030.
