North Bay

Project of Hut 8

Kind: mining
Location: North Bay
Status: operational as of February 24, 2026

Where it stands

Hut 8's North Bay Bitcoin mining site was shut down in 2023 during a power-supply dispute with Validus. In February 2024 the Far North JV (80.1% Hut 8) acquired Validus assets, including a 40 MW facility and Bitcoin mine in North Bay. Hut 8's February 2026 10-K lists North Bay as a 35 MW CCGT power plant used for power generation. The passages do not say whether Bitcoin mining has restarted at the site. The May 2026 court filing calling the site 'idle' quotes a 2023-era internal document, so it does not describe the current status.

Site intelligence

Analytical estimate. Each site below is located from public records (filings, releases, news, OpenStreetMap) and checked against free satellite imagery; "How we located this site" lists every step and the score it earned. The conclusion is computed from night-time lights, surface heat and year-over-year change, with the dates it rests on. These are hypotheses under active tracking, not legal parcels or an official endorsement.

North Bay

Weak

46.3293, -79.4661

Approximate address 3012 ON-17, North Bay, ON P1B 4Y8, Canada Reverse-geocoded from the candidate centroid; not a permit-confirmed parcel address.

Conclusion so far We have not located the site yet. · confidence 30%

Undetermined: we have not yet located the actual site, only the town or county it is in, so imagery cannot say whether anything is running.

What would change this: A published address, parcel, coordinates or permit for the site itself.
