What's Going On With Shares Of Bitcoin Miner Hut 8 Monday?

Hut 8 Corp HUT shares are trading flat. The company on Monday received court approval for its previously announced stalking horse bid transaction.

What To Know: Bitcoin BTC/USD miner Hut 8 received an approval and vesting order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approving the company's stalking horse bid transaction to acquire four natural gas power plants including the North Bay Bitcoin mine.
