CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: NASDAQ:), America's Bitcoin Miner® (the "Company"), today announced it has achieved 30 EH/s (exahashes per second) in operational hashrate.
The Company's hashrate has surged 200% since October 2023 through significant organic growth paired with turn-key acquisitions and the execution of a fleet upgrade, improving efficiency during the same period by nearly 20% and boosting the number of operational machines by 112%. The efficiency improvement strategy has resulted in increased computing power while consuming less energy and allowing for more hashrate to be generated with fewer machines.
The Company expects to surpass 37 EH/s before the end of 2024 and intends to continue its growth to 50 EH/s and beyond in 2025. Additional hashrate is anticipated to come online due to the expected acquisition closing of GRIID Infrastructure Inc this month. CleanSpark is one of the largest owned-and-operated publicly traded bitcoin miners in North America and has a portfolio of sites located in Georgia, Mississippi, Wyoming and Tennessee.
"Reaching 30 EH/s positions us as one of the largest bitcoin miners in the world. We have added more operational hashrate than any other miner in 2024. The results we continue to deliver demonstrate our commitment and ability to scale rapidly and with capital efficiency," said Zach Bradford, CEO. "Our team's agility, effectiveness and relentless grit has been paramount to the success of CleanSpark. Our efforts to time the market and lock in industry-best pricing on rigs and sites positioned us to take advantage of the opportunities in the market. During this period of rapid expansion of our operations, we have also grown our bitcoin treasury to over 8,049 bitcoin. Since October 2021, we have significantly increased our computing power year over year by quadrupling in 2022, nearly doubling in 2023 and tripling our hashrate in 2024."
