The tenant is not named; Hut 8 describes it as a high-investment-grade company (rated AA- or higher in the notes offering). Leases are triple-net with 15-year base terms worth USD 19.6 billion for the campus. Phase 1 is financed with USD 4.25 billion of non-recourse project notes issued by Beacon Point DC LLC; this is debt financing, not a disclosed project cost. The Energy Mag reports the site was first underwritten for affiliated miner American Bitcoin; Hut 8's releases opened do not say so. Hut 8 names AEP, Vertiv and Jacobs as delivery-model counterparties and an NVIDIA DSX reference design. The 1 GW label refers to utility capacity, not IT load.

- Match direct campus page to the platform's same title and slug; dereference explicit geolocation fields; reproduce the site's six-decimal marker rounding; emit longitude then latitude.
- Precision scope
- Exact operator-rendered named campus marker, not a survey, campus boundary, building centroid, construction footprint, or phase-specific location.
- Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported
Publisher reports no bounded horizontal positional accuracy; decimal places and deterministic rounding do not establish site accuracy.

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
