Been cool turning the forest into a city with thousands of people working
$HUT Construction on Hut 8's gigawatt-scale AI data center campus in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana is really starting to take off. River Bend’s initial phase will deliver 245 MW of AI data center capacity, anchored by a 15-year, $7 billion lease with Fluidstack to support Anthropic’s next-generation AI workloads. Anthropic has a Right of First Offer for the additional 1 GW of IT capacity at River Bend . *wink wink*

AI data centers resulting in lower electricity prices for consumers
The electricity price news just keeps getting better for Georgians. Georgia Power announced that new large-load contracts (overwhelmingly data centers) will save their customers nearly a billion dollars, erasing about $180 per year from their bills!

Twenty-five years after 9/11, Charity Day is how we honor and remember the colleagues we lost. Every year since, we've come together to carry that memory forward. I spoke with @TradedVC about how it began, what it means to @Official_Cantor today, and the great work of @CantorRelief.
Meet Brandon Lutnick (@Brandonlutnick), Cantor Fitzgerald's chairman @Official_Cantor / @CantorRelief Cantor Fitzgerald was founded in 1945 and today spans Cantor, BGC Group, and Newmark, with more than 16,000 employees across 30+ countries. But Cantor's story is inseparable from September 11th. The firm occupied floors 101 through 105 of the North Tower of the World Trade Center and lost more than 700 friends and colleagues that day, including Brandon’s uncle. In the years that followed, Cantor committed 25% of its profits for five years to the families of those lost, covered their healthcare for 10 years, and ultimately distributed approximately $180 million. Every September 11th, Cantor continues that legacy through Charity Day, donating an entire day’s revenue to more than 150 charitable organizations while athletes, actors, musicians, and other public figures join the trading floor. 25 years later, the mission remains the same: honor those lost, support their families, and never forget. We caught up with Brandon to hear the story behind Cantor Fitzgerald, Charity Day, and what September 11th means to him and the firm. We'll see you all on Charity Day this week 😉

Sarah Guo on being contrarian: "Unlike my good friends at Founders Fund, I don't have an instinct to be contrarian. But it is so fundamental to decide what you think and not worry too much about what other people think. And 'other people' is like the dominant narratives of the period, or even what different players in the ecosystem that are really important, declare one way or another. I think you just need to find the truth. If you find the truth and it's wrongly priced and you hold onto that, you're in a good position. You want asymmetric information, and then the confidence to hold the opinion when other people haven't come around to it yet. I think a lot about how to make sure we have the information that is better than other people's, and then protect ourselves from noise."
My second conversation with Sarah Guo (@saranormous), founder of Conviction. Sarah's been early to many of this generation's defining companies, and is constantly ranked at the top of the managers LPs most want to invest with. She knows the small group of 250 people pushing the AI frontier and we discuss what she sees from that vantage point: - What the people building AI actually believe right now - How close we are to robots in the home - The case against an AI monopoly - Why she's bullish on bio x AI - Building Conviction @domcooke wrote the definitive profile of Sarah and Conviction for @colossusmag: "Sarah's Wager".

Proud to see $HUT stand alongside $MSFT and $EQIX in committing to Governor Abbott’s data center standards. Texas has an extraordinary opportunity to lead the next era of digital infrastructure. Realizing that opportunity means building responsibly, protecting grid reliability, respecting local communities, and ensuring growth creates durable value for Texans. We’re proud to do our part and committed to building infrastructure that strengthens the communities and energy systems we operate within. Thank you @GovAbbott for your leadership.

In June, the PUCT asked more than 300 Texas data center operators to disclose their grid and water impacts. Hut 8 was one of just 28 companies that responded. Transparency and accountability should not start when they become mandatory. That is the standard we have always held and always will.
Hut 8 welcomes Governor Abbott’s focus on responsible data center development. The principles set forth in the directive are consistent with Hut 8’s development model, which has been shaped by years of building and operating large-scale infrastructure in Texas across both behind-the-meter and front-of-the-meter projects within ERCOT: thinking beyond the data center to the grid that powers our projects, the local resources around them, and the communities that host them.
