On July 7, Hut 8 Mining Corp declined 6.09% in regular trading, trading at $93.07/share, with turnover of $124 million. The stock continued to face selling pressure as the market digested the implications of Meta's planned entry into the cloud infrastructure business.

On the news front, reports that Meta is developing a cloud infrastructure business plan to sell AI computing power and model usage rights have been weighing on independent computing power leasing stocks. As a hyperscale user pivoting from the demand side to the supply side, Meta's strategic shift has raised market concerns over the medium-to-long-term pricing power of independent computing power lessors. The broader sector saw continued weakness, with IREN Ltd down 9.75% in the same session.

Hut 8 had previously secured a 15-year, $9.8 billion AI data center lease agreement and completed over $7.5 billion in financing to accelerate its transformation into an AI data center developer. However, Meta's potential competition as a direct supplier of AI computing resources has overshadowed these positive fundamentals, with selling pressure resuming after a brief rebound earlier in the week.
