Hut 8 announces partnership with Anthropic, Fluidstack for AI infrastructure

Hut 8 (HUT) announced a partnership with Anthropic and Fluidstack to accelerate the deployment of hyperscale AI infrastructure in the United States. As part of the partnership, Hut 8 will develop and deliver at least 245 megawatts and up to 2,295 MW of AI data center infrastructure for Anthropic, leveraging clusters operated by Fluidstack. The partnership is structured across several tranches that together establish a path to deploy at least 245 MW and up to 2,295 MW of utility capacity. The partnership will launch at the company’s River Bend campus in Louisiana, where Hut 8 and Fluidstack will develop an initial 245 MW of IT capacity, supported by 330 MW of utility capacity. Hut 8 grants the tenant a right of first offer for up to 1,000 MW of additional IT capacity at River Bend, subject to the expansion of power at the site. As part of a strategic partnership, Hut 8 and Anthropic may jointly diligence and develop up to 1,050 MW of additional optional capacity to scale across Hut 8’s development pipeline beyond River Bend.
