Search every verified Asher Genoot interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8 Corp., recently discussed the company's data center buildout and the role of energy infrastructure in AI development. In an October 2026 appearance on the eMerge Americas podcast, he described a correlation between energy consumption and economic growth, stating that "there is no rich country that has low energy consumption." He also said AI is still in its early stages, arguing that it could eventually reduce busy work and allow humans to focus on relationships and strategy. During the same interview, Genoot described Miami as a "frontier leading trailblazing" city for entrepreneurs, citing its business-friendly environment. Genoot also appeared on Fox Business in October 2026 alongside Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to discuss Hut 8's 627-acre River Bend data center under construction in Louisiana, which is expected to open by the second quarter of 2027 and has signed a 15-year lease with AI infrastructure firm Fluid Stack. He emphasized the importance of building data centers responsibly, noting that the company operates as a closed-loop system that does not use water and contributes to local infrastructure, such as a $16 million expansion of the parish's water system. Genoot stated that the key question for communities is "what type of neighbor will you be," and he framed the U.S. as needing to lead in AI development to remain competitive globally.

Notable quotes

“I think we're at less than a couple percentage points in terms of what AI is going to be. We haven't even started, right? If you think about like the ends of what AI should be able to do, it should really run a lot of the things that you feel like are busy work in your lives that aren't really value adding productivity. I think what AI unlocks is like allows humans to spend the time on relationships, spend time on cr”

“We're deep believers that as humanity progresses, as quality of life increases, and ultimately GDPs and countries grow, that is centered around the ability to harness energy. And so there's this great chart that has really kind of pin underpinned this for us as a company. It was GDP per capita and energy consumption per capita. And the world thing came out with it and it showed that there is no rich country that has ”

“If we look at differing areas that we're building, the most important thing is building responsibly and so there are folks that are saying we want to make sure that we came here, Governor Landry asked how are you going to affect energy prices and water and we went through how we pay for the payments for any energy infrastructure upgrades and we said we're a closed loop system we don't use the water so being able to m”

So there's no refinancing obligation. A lot of the construction loans that you see once you build it, you have to go refinance in the market and you have to raise capital to pay off the loan and then have”

“Overall, what I think Greg Abbott has done is extremely good for the ecosystem and you actually saw even QTS came out and supported him. We need more people to give kind of local voters, constituents, community members comfort that data centers are not this big scary thing that's going to come and take everyone's water and increase energy bills and so forth. I think what we're seeing a lot across the country is that ”
