gm: Canadian Bitcoin Miner Hut 8 Heads West

Grab your picks and shovels for a Bitcoin mining deep dive. Even as Texas aims to pass a bill limiting rewards for Bitcoin miners, Toronto-based Bitcoin mining company Hut 8 is bullish on growth across the U.S. That's why Hut 8 recently announced a merger of equals with U.S. Bitcoin Corp. Hut 8 CEO Jaime Leverton joined Dan Roberts and Stacy Elliott to talk expanding into the U.S., dealing with regulatory pushback post-FTX, why Texas is such a hotspot, and where she'd like to expand globally down the road (the climates may surprise you).
