Hut 8 Corp. announced on July 22, 2025, that its subsidiary, Hut 8 Investment Ltd, has secured a Commercial License in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This license authorizes proprietary investments and certain non-financial commercial activity under the DIFC’s international legal and regulatory framework.
The DIFC license represents a structural expansion of Hut 8’s capital strategy, enhancing the company’s ability to deploy Bitcoin held in reserve into structured derivatives strategies. This move is expected to broaden access to institutional counterparties, reduce trading friction, and lower transaction costs.
In fiscal year 2024, Hut 8 generated over $20 million in net proceeds from covered call options premiums on Bitcoin held in reserve. The DIFC presence is anticipated to unlock multiple advantages, supporting the continued expansion of its active treasury management program and optimizing yield through disciplined management of its Bitcoin holdings.
