SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 12,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) (the
"Company" or "CleanSpark"), a sustainable bitcoin mining and
diversified energy company, today announced its purchase of
4,500 units of the Antminer S19 bitcoin (BTC) mining machine.
The purchase was partially funded through a portion of the
Company's BTC holdings. Delivery of the machines are scheduled to
start next month and be completed by July 2022.
Renewable energy-focused Bitcoin miner uses its own mined Bitcoins
to accelerate growth, hashrate, reducing dilution.
CleanSpark estimates that its sustainable bitcoin mining
capacity will increase by a computing power of 450 PH/s, equivalent
to almost 45% of the Company's current capacity, after the
purchased machines are fully operational.
The Company expects to have the data center space for the
machines ready to plug and play before each consecutive
delivery. The Company currently operates over 10,000 miners. The
total number of miners slated for delivery over the next 12 months
is now 24,580.
In line with the interests of its shareholders, by selling some
of its bitcoin, CleanSpark is converting a portion of its BTC
holdings into bitcoin miners to increase revenues. CleanSpark
believes that the value of digital currencies such as Bitcoin stems
from their usefulness as a medium of exchange. By investing a
portion of its mined bitcoins to buy additional miners, the Company
aims to put those bitcoins back into circulation. The Company also
intends to continue its holding strategy.
"By making a conscious effort to reinvest in additional
production, we are taking a market-based approach to our mining
operations and maximizing value for our shareholders. We understand
that using our bitcoin to support our operations and expansion is a
paradigm shift for the digital currency mining industry in
North America," said Zach Bradford, CEO of CleanSpark. "We hope to
continue to lead the market with these bold moves."
Earlier in August, CleanSpark announced the purchase of a
former Sprint/Nextel datacenter in Norcross, Georgia, to start a new mining
operation that is expected to be 100% net carbon-neutral, achieved
by participating in Georgia's
Simple Solar program.
CleanSpark directly owns and operates facilities in Norcross and College
Park, Georgia, that will bring a combined 65MW with a
focus on clean and sustainable energy as it keeps ESG at the
forefront of all its efforts.
