The agreement covers 245 megawatts of IT capacity and includes a financial backstop from Google, which guarantees lease payments for the duration of the base term. While Google will not operate the facility or run workloads on-site, its backing significantly lowers counterparty risk and boosted investor confidence. Hut 8 shares rose nearly 4 percent in regular trading before surging more than 21 percent in premarket action, extending year-to-date gains to roughly 79 percent. The deal ranks among the largest AI infrastructure commitments ever secured by a publicly listed Bitcoin miner. US senators push new task force as crypto scams cost Americans US$9.3BA bipartisan pair of US senators has introduced legislation aimed at tightening the federal response to cryptocurrency-related fraud after reported losses surged last year. The SAFE Crypto Act would require the Treasury Department to form a dedicated task force focused on detecting and preventing crypto scams. Lawmakers cited FBI data showing Americans lost about US$9.3 billion to crypto investment fraud in 2024, a 66 percent jump from the previous year. Older investors accounted for a disproportionate share of those losses, according to federal officials. The proposed task force would bring together agencies including the Treasury, DOJ, FinCEN, and the Secret Service, alongside state and local law enforcement.
