HUT 8 MINING CORP.

Consolidated Financial Statements

(In Canadian dollars)

Years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Hut 8 Mining Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Hut 8 Mining Corp. (hereafter “the Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), the consolidated statements of cash flows and the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended, and notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1

Revenue from digital assets mined

As described in Notes 3 and 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company generates revenue from contracts with mining pools and provides computing power to the mining pools in exchange of digital assets. We identified the occurence, completeness and accuracy of the Company’s revenue from digital assets mined as a key audit matter.

Why the matter was determined to be a key audit matter

Revenue from digital assets is significant to our audit because mining of digital assets is an emerging industry with unique technological aspects that raise a number of auditing challenges. Given the nature of this source of revenue, significant audit efforts are required. The revenue from digital assets mined during the year ended December 31, 2021 totals $165 million.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

Our audit procedures related to the occurence, completeness and accuracy of revenue from digital assets mined included, among others, the following:

− We assigned professionals with specialized skills in distributed ledger technology, digital assets and cryptography;

− We tested the design and effectiveness of internal controls related to the digital asset transactions and mining servers;

− We obtained and evaluated the report attesting that controls at the service organization (custodian) are operating effectively and tested the operating effectiveness of the complementary controls implemented by the Company;

− We performed physical observation of the miners and tested their performance;

− We conducted substantive analytical procedures, with high degree of precision, which include tests of the accuracy and completeness of the underlying data, such as confirmation of certain data with third parties;

− We traced digital assets received and recognized as revenue directly to the blockchain using our own node and obtained confirmations from custodian;

− We tested the value of digital assets received and recognized as revenue using the daily quoted price from a reputable source;

− We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures in the consolidated financial statements about revenue from digital assets mined.

Digital assets

As described in Notes 3 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company holds digital assets that consist of Bitcoin which are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. We identified the existence and ownership (rights and obligations) of the Company’s digital assets hold as a key audit matter.

2

Why the matter was determined to be a key audit matter

Digital assets are significant to our audit because they are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. Given the nature of these assets, significant audit efforts are required. Digital assets total $323.9 million for the period ended December 31, 2021, including $206.5 million in held in custody with a third party and $117 million in lending arrangements to a third party.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s existence and ownership of held digital assets included, among others, the following:

− We assigned professionals with specialized skills in blockchain, digital assets and cryptography;

− We tested the design and effectiveness of internal controls related to the digital assets;

− We obtained and evaluated the report attesting that controls at the service organization (custodian) are operating effectively and tested the operating effectiveness of the complementary controls implemented by the Company;

− We obtained confirmation on digital assets with third parties;

− We traced digital assets directly to the blockchain using our own node.

Information other than the consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

3

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

− Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

− Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control;

4

− Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;

− Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;

− Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;

− Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are, therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Louis Roy.

HUT 8 MINING CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(In Canadian dollars)

1. Nature of presentation:

Hut 8 Mining Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on June 9, 2011. The registered office of the Company is located at 745 Thurlow Street, Suite 2400, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 0C5 and the headquarters are located at 24 Duncan St., Suite 500, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5V 2B8. The Company’s common shares are listed under the symbol “HUT” on the Toronto Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Hut 8 Mining Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are primarily in the business of the mining of digital assets – with an operational focus on utilizing specialized equipment to solve complex computational problems to validate transactions on different blockchains and receiving Bitcoin in return for successful services. Additionally, the Company provides infrastructure solutions related to hosting services to institutional clients, for which services the Company receives monthly fees.

2. Basis of presentation:

(a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee.

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 16, 2022.

(b) Application of IFRS

IFRS does not currently provide specific guidance to address many aspects of the digital asset industry. The Company is required to make judgments as to the application of IFRS and the selection of its accounting policies. The Company has disclosed its presentation, recognition and derecognition, and measurement of digital assets, and the recognition of revenue as well as significant assumptions and judgments, however, if specific guidance is enacted by the IASB in the future, the impact may result in changes to the Company’s earnings and financial position as presented.

(c) Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for some financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. All amounts are presented in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”), unless otherwise stated.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified where necessary to conform with current year presentation.

(d) Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. Subsidiaries are entities that the Company controls either when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entities and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(In Canadian dollars)

The significant operating subsidiary of the Company included in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

	% Ownership
Hut 8 Holdings Inc.	100%

All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

(e) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(f) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed by management on an ongoing basis, and revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period giving rise to the change. The future impact of uncertainties around the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic could generate, in future reporting periods, a significant risk of material adjustment to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in the consolidated financial statements. Examples of accounting estimates and judgments that may be impacted by the pandemic include: revenue recognition, allowance for expected credit losses and deferred taxes.

The following are the significant judgement, estimates and assumptions that have been made in applying the Company’s accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts in the consolidated financial statements:

(a) Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income.

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits requires the use of assumptions and significant judgment to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s filing position. Although the Company believes that the judgments and estimates made are reasonable, actual results could differ and resulting adjustments could materially affect effective income tax rate and income tax provision. Any changes, based on additional available information, are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.

(In Canadian dollars)

(b) Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. These calculations are based on available data, other observable inputs and projections of cash flows, all of which are subject to estimates and assumptions. Recoverable amounts are also sensitive to assumptions about the future usefulness of in-process development and the related marketing rights.

(c) Revenue recognition and value of digital assets

There is currently no specific definitive guidance in IFRS or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for the mining of digital assets and subsequent measurement of the digital assets held. Management has exercised significant judgment in determining appropriate accounting treatment. Management has determined that revenues should be recognized as the fair value of digital assets received in exchange for mining services on the date that digital assets are received and subsequently measured as an intangible asset. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the IASB, the Company may be required to change its policies which could result in a change in the Company’s financial position and earnings. Management has exercised significant judgement in determining the completion stage for this revenue stream and examined various factors surrounding the substance of the Company’s operations and determined the stage of completion being the completion and addition of a block to blockchain.

(d) Warrant liability

The Company uses Black-Scholes method to determine the fair value of the warrant liability. The Black-Scholes method requires significant judgement in determining the fair value such as volatility and risk-free rate. A change in these inputs could lead to significant change in the fair value of the warrant liability.

(e) Plant and equipment

Estimates of useful lives, residual values and methods of depreciation are reviewed annually. Any changes, based on additional available information, are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.

(f) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company has been assessed by management based on consideration of the currency and economic factors that mainly influence the Company’s digital currencies assets, production and operating costs, financing and related transactions. Specifically, the Company considers the currencies in which digital currencies are most commonly denominated and the currencies in which expenses are settled, by each entity, as well as the currency in which each entity receives or raises financing. Changes to these factors may have an impact on the judgment applied in the determination of the Company’s functional currency.

3. Significant accounting policies:

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented, except for the change in estimate discussed in Note 4, in these consolidated financial statements.

(i) Transactions in foreign currency

Within each entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the statement of operations. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

(ii) Cash

Cash is comprised of bank balances and are primarily held in Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars.

(iii) Revenue recognition

The Company records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) as follows:

- Identify the contract with a customer;

- Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

- Determine the transaction price, which is the total consideration provided by the customer;

- Allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations in the contract based on their relative fair values; and

- Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The following are the specific revenue recognition criteria which must be met before revenue is recognized:

a. Revenues from digital asset mining

The Company has entered into contracts with mining pools and has undertaken the performance obligation of providing computing power to the mining pool in exchange for non-cash consideration in the form of digital asset. Revenue is recognized upon receipt of Bitcoin in exchange for its mining activities at the fair market value of the Bitcoin received. The fair value is determined using the closing Bitcoin price per www.coinmarketcap.com (“Coinmarketcap”).

Management considers the prices quoted on Coinmarketcap to be a level 2 input under IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Any difference between the fair value of digital assets recorded upon receipt from mining activities and the actual realized price upon disposal are recorded as a gain or loss on disposition of digital assets.

b. Revenues from hosting

The Company has also entered into hosting contracts where it operates mining equipment on behalf of third parties within its facilities. Revenue from hosting contracts is measured as the Company meets its obligation of operating the hosted equipment over time.

(iv) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are comprised of digital asset mining servers and related infrastructure and right of use of assets. Plant and equipment are recognized at initial cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset, including those attributable to bringing the asset to its intended working condition.

A gain or loss on disposal of a plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with its carrying amount, and is recognized as a gain (loss) on disposal in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Based on the Company and the industry’s limited history to date, Management is limited by the market data available. Furthermore, the data available also includes data derived from the use of economic modelling to forecast future digital assets and the assumptions reflected in such forecasts, including digital asset’s price and network difficulty, as well as derived from Management’s assumptions which are inherently judgmental. Based on current data available, Management has determined that the straight-line method of depreciation best reflects the current expected useful life of mining equipment and related infrastructure. Management will review estimates at each reporting date and will revise such estimates as and when data become available. Management will review the appropriateness of its assumption related to residual value at each reporting date. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s plant and equipment are as follows:

Infrastructure assets	10 years
Mining servers	2 years

(v) Digital assets

Digital assets meet the definition of intangible assets in IAS 38 Intangible Assets as they are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. They are initially recorded at cost and the revaluation method is used to measure the digital assets subsequently. Where digital assets are recognized as revenue, the fair value of the Bitcoin received is considered to be the cost. Under the revaluation method, increases in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income, while decreases are recorded in profit or loss. The Company revalues its digital assets at the end of each of its three interim financial reporting periods and at its annual financial reporting period end date. There is no recycling of gains from other comprehensive income to profit or loss. However, to the extent that an increase in fair value reverses a previous decrease in fair value that has been recorded in profit or loss, that increase is recorded in profit or loss. Decreases in fair value that reverse gains previously recorded in other comprehensive income are recorded in other comprehensive income.

Digital assets are measured at fair value using the quoted price on Coinmarketcap. Coinmaketcap is a pricing aggregator, as the principal market or most advantageous market is not always known. The Company believes any price difference amongst the principal market and an aggregated price to be immaterial. Management considers this fair value to be a Level 2 input under IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement fair value hierarchy as the price on this source represents an average of quoted prices on multiple digital currency exchanges.

The Company’s determination to classify its holding of Bitcoin as current assets is based on management’s assessment that its Bitcoin held can be considered to be a commodity, the availability of liquid markets to which the Company may sell a portion of its holdings.

(vi) Financial Instruments

(a) Recognition and initial measurement of financial assets:

The Company initially recognizes accounts receivable on the date that they originated. All other financial assets are recognized initially on the trade date or when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets except for those trade receivables that do not contain significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

(b) Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets:

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified in one of those categories at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), or FVTPL.

Financial assets are not subsequently reclassified except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing its financial assets. The amortized cost is subsequently reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, financial assets carried at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounted is immaterial.

Assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets that are measured using FVOCI are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income.

Financial assets carried at amortized costs include cash and accounts receivable. Deposits are recorded at FVTPL.

(c) Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement, and gains and losses:

The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities on the trade date at which time the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are classified and measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities of the Company carried at the amortized cost include loans payable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Warrant liability is carried at FVTPL.

(d) Derecognition:

Financial assets:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

15

HUT 8 MINING CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(In Canadian dollars)

Financial liabilities:

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

(e) Impairment

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECLs”). The Company uses the single expected credit loss impairment model, which is based on changes in credit quality since initial application.

Measurement of ECLs:

ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. Management establishes an allowance for ECLs for non-payment and delinquent accounts based on historic trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries, and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for Management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. If future collections differ from estimates, future profits could be adversely affected.

Presentation of allowance for ECLs in the statement of financial position:

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

(f) Fair value of financial instruments:

Fair values of financial instruments are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

◾ Level 1 ‐ quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

◾ Level 2 ‐ inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

◾ Level 3 ‐ inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Each type of fair value is categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(vii) Impairment of non-financial asset

The Company’s identifiable tangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each statement of financial position date and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. Impairments are recorded when the recoverable amount of assets are less than their carrying amounts. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal or its value in use.

16

HUT 8 MINING CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(In Canadian dollars)

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, and only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment charge been recorded.

(viii) Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company leases office premises, mining sites and equipment. Under IFRS 16, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is re measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Company has applied judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized. The Company leases equipment that are not material under IFRS 16.

The Company presents right-of-use assets in plant and equipment, whereas lease liabilities are presented in loans payable and other liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(ix) Non-monetary transactions

Where the Company is settling a liability for the purchase of goods and services where the price was established in a fiat currency, the difference between the liability settled and the fair value of the digital assets transferred is recognized as a gain or loss on settlement. Otherwise, the transaction is measured based on the fair value of the digital assets exchanged. Any difference between the fair value of the digital assets exchanged and the carrying amount of the digital assets is recognized in profit and loss.

(x) Earnings per share

The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the reported net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated on the treasury stock basis. Where potentially dilutive equity instruments are anti-dilutive, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

(In Canadian dollars)

(xi) Share capital

Common shares are classified as an equity instrument. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a reduction of equity, net of the related tax effect.

(xii) Warrants

The Company issues warrant, which entitles the holder to buy the Company’s common shares at an exercise price within a certain time frame. The warrants include a cashless exercise clause, which may result in a variable number of shares being issued for a fixed price due to the use of volume-weighted average price of shares. The Company does not expect the warrants to be exercised on a cash-less basis. The Company records these warrants as a financial liability. Upon exercising, the Company records the exercised warrants at fair value immediately before settlement and records the gain or loss through the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company subsequently measures the warrants at fair value at each reporting date and records the gain or loss through the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The broker warrants issued do not include a cashless exercise feature and are classified as equity instruments. Consideration received on the sale of a share and share purchase warrant is allocated using the fair value method.

(xiii) Contributed Surplus

Contributed surplus includes consideration recognized pursuant to equity-settled share based compensation.

(xiv) Share based transactions

Equity-settled share based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

The Company issued broker warrants as part of brokered private placement offering for common shares. Broker warrants are measured at fair value at the date of the offering and accounted for as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. When the broker warrants are exercised, the proceeds received together with the related amount allocated as a separate component of shareholders’ equity are allocated to capital stock. If the broker warrants expire unexercised, the related amount separately allocated to shareholders’ equity is allocated to contributed surplus.

(xv) Share based compensation plan

Under the Company’s long-term incentive plan, the Company may grant participants restricted share units (“RSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”) and stock options (“Options). RSUs, DSUs and Options, are collectively referred to as “LTIP Units.” LTIP Units are redeemable either for one common share or for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of one common share (at the option of the Company).

DSUs become redeemable only on the participant’s termination of employment. RSUs generally vest over a three-year period after the date of grant. The Options have different vesting term based on the individual agreement. The expense related to DSUs, RSUs and Options is measured based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The expense is recognized separately in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses its estimates of forfeitures, and recognizes the impact of any revisions into profit or loss. When LTIP units are redeemed, they are issued to the participant and are recorded as share capital.

(xvi) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred taxes. Current taxes and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss except items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Deferred taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred taxes are not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when

they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

(xvii) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation to a third-party and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The obligation may be legal, regulatory or contractual or it may represent a constructive obligation deriving from the Company’s actions where, by an established pattern of past practice or published policies, the Company creates a valid expectation on the part of other parties that the Company will discharge certain responsibilities.

(xviii) Segment reporting

The reporting segments are identified on the basis of information that is reviewed by the chief operating decision

maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated and assess its performance. Accordingly, for

management purposes, the Company has one reporting segment and all revenues and non-current assets are in Canada.

(xix) Standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company

At the date of authorization of these consolidated financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, standards and amendments to existing standards and interpretation have been published by the IASB. None of these standards or amendments to existing standards have been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. Change in estimate

Plant and equipment

During the year ended December 31, 2021, Management performed an operational efficiency review of its mining equipment, which resulted in changes in the expected useful life of its Infrastructure assets. Previously estimated with a 4-year useful life, the Infrastructure assets are now estimated to have a useful life of 10 years from the date put into service. The result is a change in estimate and applied prospectively. Notwithstanding any future addition to the Infrastructure assets, the effect of the change in useful life on actual and expected depreciation expense, effective the year ended December 31, 2021, is as follows:

(in thousands)	2021			2022			2023		2024		2025		2026		2027		2028		2029
(Decrease) increase in depreciation expense		(9,826	)		(4,672	)		2,204		2,688		2,688		2,688		2,686		1,394		149

Change in tax position

During the year ended December 31, 2021, Management determined that the tax treatment for the digital asset revaluation should be accounted for as capital gain in nature. Previously, the Company accounted for the revaluation as part of business income for tax purposes. The result is a change in estimate and applied prospectively. The Company recorded an income tax recovery of $7,213,097 to other comprehensive income and $2,136,463 was recorded to profit and loss for the year ended December 31, 2021.

5. Deposits and prepaid expenses

The components of deposits and prepaid expenses are as follows:

Revaluation of digital assets		57,695,235			-
Total digital assets, December 31, 2021	$	323,945,795			5,518

During the year ended ended December 31, 2021, the Company traded Bitcoin for cash totaling $1,291,060 (2020 - $41,526,945) with a cost of $1,108,847 (2020 - $38,755,088), which resulted in a realized gain on use of $182,213 (2020 - $2,815,342).

Digital assets held are revalued each reporting period based on the fair market value of the price of Bitcoin on the reporting date. As of December 31, 2021, the price of Bitcoin was $58,707 (US$46,306), resulting in a revaluation gain for the year ended December 31, 2021, of $57,859,417, net of tax recovery of $164,182. This gain was recorded to other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2020, the price of bitcoin was $36,925 (US$29,002) resulting in a revaluation gain of $74,443,609. Of this gain, $13,713,962 was recorded as a gain in the net income, which offset the revaluation losses recorded in prior years, and the remaining $60,729,647 was recorded to other comprehensive income net of taxes of $15,048,707.

Digital Assets – lending arrangements

The Company has entered into arrangements with third parties whereby, from time to time, the Company may lend a portion of its digital assets for a period of time (the “Lending Arrangements”). The third parties must return the same amount and type of digital assets upon expiry of the lending period or upon exercise of a call option by the Company. In return for access to certain of the Company’s digital assets, the third parties must pay a borrow fee to the Company.

At December 31, 2021, the Company updated its testing of Cash-Generating Units (CGUs) for impairment. Management has determined the recoverable amount as the Value in Use (“VIU”) for the Drumheller and Medicine Hat facilities. The significant assumptions in determining the VIU included the following:

	December 31, 2021			December 31, 2020
Starting Bitcoin price	$	58,707 (US$46,306)		$	36,925 (US$29,002)
Starting network difficulty	26,643 billion			18,600 billion
Discount rate		25.00	%		25.00	%
Monthly Bitcoin price growth		3.00	%		1.21% - 5.13	%
Difficulty growth rate		4.00	%		4.42	%

Due to the positive mining economics, increasing prices of Bitcoin related to the difficulty levels during 2021, the Company did not record any impairment charges. In 2020, the Company reversed prior years’ impairment charges on Infrastructure based on Management’s conclusion that, using the above assumptions, the events and circumstances which led to previous years’ impairment charges no longer exist. Consequently, in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a reversal of prior years’ impairment charges of $13.2 million.

14. Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity composed of issued share capital and reserves.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern while maintaining growth of the Company’s business through organic growth and new acquisitions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issuances or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2020.

15. Financial instruments and risk management

Financial hierarchy:

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The hierarchy is summarized as follows:

Level 1:	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2:	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly from observable market data; and
Level 3:	Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s financial instruments have been classified as follows:

December 31, 2021	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Fair value carried through profit and loss
Warrant Liability		-		99,021,368		-		99,021,368
Deposits		156,093,443		-		-		156,093,443
December 31, 2020	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Fair value through profit and loss
Deposits		7,157,857		-		-		7,157,857

The Company determined that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate the corresponding fair value because of the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments and the low credit risk.

The loans payable balance has a carrying value of $40,051,428 (December 31, 2020 - $25,464,000) and a fair value of $41,477,438 (December 31, 2020 - $25,464,000). The fair value is determined based on the cost of borrowing for a company with a similar risk profile (Level 2).

Digital asset prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The profitability of the Company is directly related to the current and future market price of digital assets; in addition, the Company may not be able liquidate its inventory of digital assets at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital assets could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its sales of digital assets.

Digital assets have a limited history and the fair value historically has been relatively volatile. Historical performance of digital assets is not indicative of their future price performance. The Company’s digital assets currently solely consist of Bitcoin.

The Company’s digital assets subject to Lending Arrangements are exposed to credit risk. The Company limits its credit risk by loaning the digital assets to counterparties that are believed to have sufficient capital to meet their obligations as they come due based on the Company’s review of their size, credit quality and reputation. As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not expect a material loss on any of its digital assets subject to Lending Arrangements. As of each reporting period, the Company assesses if there are significant increases in credit risk requiring recognition of a loss or write-down. Such loss or write-down would be reflected in the fair value of the digital assets subject to Lending Arrangements. While the Company intends to only transact with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Company will not sustain a material loss on a transaction as a result.

The Company uses the services of BitGo Trust Company Inc. (“BitGo”). BitGo carries a US$100 million insurance policy backing its digital asset custody services. Hut 8 does not self-custody its Bitcoin.

The Company faces credit risk associated with the Genesis and Galaxy Bitcoin lending arrangements. Management believes this risk is limited based on the size, credit quality and reputation of these counterparties.

As of December 31, 2021, had the market price of Bitcoin increased or decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, the corresponding digital assets value increase or decrease respectively would amount to $32,394,580.

(b) Financial risk management:

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited and only relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances nominated in foreign currency at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a significant effect on the fair value of the Company’s cash account. The interest rate on the Company’s loans are fixed in nature and have limited exposure to change interest rates.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash and digital assets. The Company has a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal spending requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansionary plans.

The Company has a US$50 million open term revolving credit facility with Galaxy which the Company can draw on as an additional source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2021, the facility has an outstanding balance of $nil (December 31, 2021 - $nil).

As at December 31, 2021, the contractual maturities of financial and other liabilities, including estimated interest payments are as follows:

	Contractual cash flows		Within 1 year		1 to 2 years		2 to 5 years		5+ years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities excluding salaries payable	$	9,398,781	$	9,398,781	$	-	$	-	$	—
Loans payable and interest		48,356,594		20,432,715		14,505,103		13,418,776		—
Lease commitments	$	1,016,199	$	244,506	$	192,596	$	52,731		526,366

Foreign currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises from financial instruments (including cash) that are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars, which represents the functional currency of the Company. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and most purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company has also transacted in US Dollars to purchase mining equipment and has loans payable denominated in US Dollars. Management currently does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.

The table below indicates the foreign currencies to which the Company has significant exposure as of December 31, 2021 in Canadian dollar terms:

As at	December 31, 2021			December 31, 2020
Cash	$	107,601,184		$	368,769
Accounts receivable		446,094			-

Accounts payable		(1,371,103	)		(30,275	)
Loans payable		(40,051,428	)		(25,464,000	)

The effect on earnings before tax of a 10% strengthening or weakening of the CAD exchange rate at the balance sheet date for financial instruments denominated in USD, with all other variables held constant, is $16,162,103 ($2,586,304 - December 31, 2020).
