HBTE.NE is trading at CA$14.16, up +3.36%, as Riot Platforms secured a 20-year, $9.1 billion Anthropic computing agreement covering 191 megawatts.
- The contract supports Riot’s transition toward higher-value data-center operations and strengthened bitcoin-miner and AI-infrastructure sentiment.
- Broader technology shares benefited from easing rate-hike concerns after in-line July inflation data.
- Bitcoin was relatively stable to slightly weaker on August 13, 2026, suggesting the gain was primarily sector-driven rather than caused by a major cryptocurrency breakout.
