Why Hut 8 Mining Stock Popped Today

Shares of cryptocurrency mining company Hut 8 Mining (NASDAQ: HUT) were up on Thursday even though the company didn't have any news to report.

Hut 8 completed its listing in the U.S. a couple of weeks ago even though it was already publicly listed in Canada. The company mines both Bitcoin and Ether, the tokens that run the Ethereum blockchain, and it's using the proceeds from its U.S. listing to increase its mining capabilities.
