Billionaire Dan Loeb is Buying This AI Data Center and Crypto Stock Fahad Saleem Wed, June 17, 2026 at 3:27 PM GMT+2 2 min read BTC-USD HUT GOOG We just covered Billionaire Dan Loeb Pivots to AI and Sells Old Economy Stocks: His Top 7 AI Picks .

79 Million (NEW position) Hut 8 (NASDAQ:HUT) is transitioning from Bitcoin mining into AI data center infrastructure. It doesn’t just host GPUs or sell cloud compute, it owns the underlying power and land assets outright — then leases that infrastructure to hyperscalers on long-term contracts. The bull case centers on two campuses.
Hut 8’s (NASDAQ:HUT) Beacon Point facility in Texas (352 MW) is leased to a high-credit tenant — widely understood to be Google — for 15 years, with a base contract value of $9. 8 billion. River Bend in Louisiana (245 MW) is leased to Fluidstack as part of a broader agreement tied to Anthropic’s AI infrastructure buildout, locking in another $7 billion over the base term.
The nature of its contracts makes Hut interesting. Hut 8 (NASDAQ:HUT) bears minimal operating costs once the facilities are built. The cash flows are essentially fixed, long-duration, and backed by investment-grade counterparties — much closer to bond-like income than typical tech revenue.
Billionaire Dan Loeb bought a stake worth about $40. 8 million in Hut 8 (NASDAQ:HUT) during the March quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of HUT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
