Company: Hut 8
What the later record shows
Outcome not yet confirmed
The 2025 proxy only restates the conditional terms of Visram's Fourth Bonus. No passage says whether he stayed through January 31, 2025 or whether the bonus was paid.

How we checked this
Checked on October 10, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The filing confirms a USD $215,000 retention bonus tied to January 31, 2025. Unlike the earlier bonuses, it does not describe this one as a cash bonus.
Confirmed in the source:
- If Shenif Visram remains employed through January 31, 2025, he receives a USD $215,000 retention bonus
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That Visram's January 31, 2025 retention bonus of USD $215,000 is paid in cash (the filing calls it a 'retention bonus' without specifying cash, unlike the first two bonuses)
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1964789/000110465924014634/tm245886d2_8k.htm) in full (7,987 characters, retrieved August 31, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
