Liverpool receive new referee verdict after Premier League instant VAR statement vs LeicesterThe end of the year is always a good time to reassess your portfolio and look to make moves for the new year and beyond. One company that should be on your radar for 2025 is (NASDAQ:HUT). Hut 8 is a Bitcoin mining stock, but it recently , utilizing its massive computing power to capitalize on the growth of data centers. Hut 8 is also one of the largest corporate owners of Bitcoin. The stock is up some 81% year to date, trading at around $24 per share and it looks like it still has room to run. is one of the largest Bitcoin miners in North America, but its stock price shot up in July when it announced it had received a $150 million investment from Coatue Management to, in part, build out its AI infrastructure. “Commercialization efforts for our new AI vertical are also progressing nicely, including the assembly of our first GPU cluster and fit-out of our data center suite,” Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said back in July. “More than half of our 1,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs have been configured and are now undergoing testing at the manufacturer’s facility. We are on track to go live in H2 and begin generating revenue at a forecasted annual rate of approximately $20 million.” Also this year, the firm launched a GPU-as-a-service business through its Highrise AI subsidiary. The delivery of its first GPU cluster, hosted at a data center in Chicago, went to an AI cloud services provider. The cluster is made up of multiple Hewlett Packard Enterprise Cray supercomputers powered by 1,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs. Hut 8 has a five-year agreement with the provider. In addition, the firm announced a partnership with Bitmain, which produces Bitcoin mining chips and hardware. The hosting agreement is expected to generate up to $135 million in annualized revenue for Hut 8. Also, it is building a facility in the Texas panhandle to support the operation. In the most recent quarter, Hut 8 doubled its revenue to $43.7 million and generated $0.9 million in net income, up from a net loss of $4.4 million, or 10 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. It also improved its financials by converting an outstanding loan balance to common stock at 51%, thus reducing its interest payments by $17.6 million across three years. And earlier this week, Hut 8 purchased approximately 990 Bitcoin at a cost of around $100 million. It now owns 10,096 Bitcoin in its strategic Bitcoin reserve, which has a market value of more than $1 billion. The company believes it is one of the ten largest corporate owners of Bitcoin in the world. Of the nine Wall Street analysts that cover Hut 8, all of them recommend the stock as a buy. It has a median price target of about $32 per share, which is roughly 48% higher than the current price. Even the low end of the range, $28 per share, shows 15% upside for Hut 8. The high end, $36 per share, would suggest a 66% increase over the current price of $24 per share. Last week, Piper Sandler set a price target of $33 per share for Hut 8. According to , Piper Sandler analysts expects the price of Bitcoin to rise, which will create more profit and larger Bitcoin treasuries for Bitcoin miners. The firm also cited Hut 8’s vast assets and ability to profitably scale operations. While Hut 8 did not offer guidance for 2025, analysts anticipate roughly 72% revenue growth in 2025 to $291 million. With its growth in both Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing AI data centers, Hut 8 is well-positioned in two high-growth industries to continue its surge into 2025.

Human Rights Secretariat workers denounced that the government terminated the contracts of 400 staff members in December, jeopardizing the operation of several dictatorship memorial sites. The secretariat ended 2023 with over 1,000 workers but cuts continued throughout the year: the workforce is currently just under 800. This means that the recent layoffs have slashed the Secretariat staff by 50%. The justice ministry, the official body running the secretariat, ordered 2,500 layoffs across all dependencies. Paula Eugenia Donadio, a representative of state-workers union ATE, told the Herald that the layoffs endanger the functioning of dictatorship memorial sites run by the secretariat. The memorials are repurposed former clandestine detention centers that operated during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship. According to human rights organizations, these centers were instrumental in the forcible disappearance of over 30,000 people. The memorial sites in danger of closing are Automotores Orletti, Virrey Ceballos, El Olimpo, and Club Atlético (Buenos Aires City), Faro de la Memoria (Mar del Plata), and El Vesubio (Buenos Aires province). “If there are no workers to organize visits, or just open and close their doors, they are at risk of shutting down, as are all areas of the Human Rights Secretariat,” Donadío added. Donadío said that other functions of the Human Rights Secretariat are also at risk. Among other things, they assist victims of past and current human rights violations, give human rights training, run the National Memory Archive, are in charge of safeguarding documentation, and are in charge of the Haroldo Conti Cultural Center. The workers are organizing a symbolic hug on Friday, 5 p.m., to the building of the Human Rights Secretariat building, which functions at the ESMA, a dictatorship memorial site itself. Their goal is to “denounce and repudiate the dismantling of the policies of memory, truth and justice, and human rights policies” they claim Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona and Human Rights Secretary Alberto Baños have been carrying out. “Argentines are aware that this a step backward to places where we do not want to return, we believe that the Secretariat of Human Rights is part of the democratic construction of the country and that is also what we want to defend,” Donadío said. Ever since he was on the campaign trail, President Javier Milei has sought to undermine Argentina’s memory policies, which aim to commemorate and seek justice for victims of the country’s last dictatorship. He has called human rights violations committed during the dictatorship the result of “a war” and has questioned the number of 30,000 desaparecidos . Those comments quickly became state policy. Human rights organizations have warned that the government fired experts, spread denialist rhetoric, and flouted international commitments. On November 14, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights granted three hearings on the situation in Argentina, including one on memory, truth, and justice policies. In the hearing, Baños was dismissive towards Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo head Estela de Carlotto. He also claimed that the civilian team working on the Armed Forces’ archives dismantled them, calling the team a “group of vigilantes.” Baños said that the spirit of this administration is to guarantee “complete memory” — a phrase also used by denialist groups that support the so-called “two-demon theory,” a rhetorical device that equates the violence of the Armed Forces and left-wing armed groups.
ANKARA China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday that Beijing believes the South Korean people can deal with the fallout from the Dec. 3 scuttled martial law. “China adheres to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs. It is believed that South Korean people have the wisdom and ability to properly handle their domestic issues,” Wang said over the phone with his South Korean counterpart Cho Tae-yul, China’s Global Times reported. Wang spoke with Cho at the latter's request, marking the first contact between the two foreign ministers since South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's decision to impose martial law, which was overturned by the parliaments within hours. Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, described Beijing and Seoul as "friendly neighbors and key cooperative partners." “Through mutual efforts, bilateral relations have recently shown improving and development momentum, which is in line with the interests of both peoples,” the daily quoted Wang as saying.
