CleanSpark expands its Bitcoin mining fleet with the purchase of 3,853 latest generation machines

The total number of machines purchased since the start of bear market conditions in June now exceeds 26,500

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) (the “Company”), America’s Bitcoin Miner™, today announced that it has acquired 3,843 units of Antminer S19J Pro bitcoin mining machines for $5.9 million, or approximately $15 $.50 per terahash, bringing the total number of machines purchased by the Company since the onset of bear market conditions to over 26,500.

“This most recent purchase shows how CleanSpark continues to operate in struggling markets,” said Zach Bradford, CEO of CleanSpark. “Our unwavering focus on sustainability has provided us with a strong balance sheet and operating strategy that has enabled us to acquire machines at incredible prices, grow our hashrate, and grow our daily bitcoin production in anticipation of improving market conditions over the next few months. ”

In October, CleanSpark finalized the acquisition of an 80 MW facility in Sandersville, Georgia, which included nearly 6,500 mining machines. In September, the Company purchased 10,000 new Bitmain Antminer S19j Pro units. And in August, the Company acquired a 36 MW facility in Washington, Georgiawhich included 3,400 machines.

These acquisitions followed several major purchases in the summer. During the month of July, CleanSpark acquired 1,061 Whatsminer machines at a deep discount, which increased mining capacity by 93 PH/s. The Company launched the summer in June with a contract takeover for 1,800 Antminer S19 XP units and a partnership with TMGCore Inc. for an immersion cooling expansion.

CleanSpark primarily uses renewable or low-carbon energy sources. It has four owned and operated facilities, approximately 50,000 operational bitcoin mining machines, and a high daily production of 19.2 bitcoins. CleanSpark achieved its year-end goal of 5 PE/s ahead of schedule earlier this month and has since raised its year-end forecast to 5.5 PE/s. The company plans to hit its 2023 year-end targets of 22.4 EH/s, an achievement that would make it one of the largest publicly traded bitcoin mining companies in the world.
