The annual Russell U.S. Indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of Tuesday, April 30th, 2024, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the U.S. all-cap Russell 3000® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or small-cap Russell 2000® Index, as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes. “Our inclusion in the Russell Indexes is another important milestone for Hut 8, as it will help enhance the Company’s liquidity and visibility,” said Asher Genoot, Chief Executive Officer of Hut 8. “We believe the impact of the inclusion, together with our recently announced and ongoing growth initiatives, will continue to drive us toward our north star of maximizing shareholder value.” Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to the data as of the end of December 2023, about $10.5 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell U.S. indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, a prominent global index provider.
