Hut 8 says it supports Texas’ new data-center standards as the state tightens expectations around grid reliability, water conservation, community impact and infrastructure costs. The response is especially relevant because Hut 8 grew from Bitcoin mining into a broader energy and digital-infrastructure platform and is now developing one of Texas’ largest AI data-center campuses. Texas…
