CleanSpark (CLSK) Executes 75 MW Power Contracts and Acquires Bitcoin Mining Site in Wyoming

CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), a prominent player in the Bitcoin mining industry, has announced the successful execution of 75 MW of power contracts and the acquisition of its first Bitcoin mining site in Wyoming, according to investors.cleanspark.com.

Strategic Expansion in Wyoming

The newly acquired site, located in Cheyenne, boasts a power capacity of 30 MW and is expected to contribute over 2 exahashes per second (EH/s) to CleanSpark's hashrate once operational. This site will operate as a fully immersion-cooled facility, marking the second such establishment in CleanSpark's expanding portfolio. Groundbreaking is set to commence immediately, with an operational target set for the end of 2024.

Future Growth Plans

CleanSpark is also working on securing additional power to further enhance the operational capacity of the Cheyenne site. The company is in the process of closing the underlying real estate for a second site in Wyoming, expected to add an additional 45 MW and 3 EH/s to its hashrate. This expansion aligns with CleanSpark's strategic growth plans, as the company aims to broaden its footprint across Wyoming.

Broader Impact and Industry Support

This acquisition is part of CleanSpark's broader strategy to expand its operations in supportive environments. Wyoming has recently shown significant support for the cryptocurrency industry, with initiatives such as the University of Wyoming's Bitcoin Research Institute and Senator Lummis's introduction of the Boosting Innovation, Technology and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide (BITCOIN) Act.

“We are thrilled to expand in a state so publicly supportive of our industry,” said CleanSpark CEO Zach Bradford. “Working together with local, state, and national leaders, CleanSpark plans to grow its footprint beyond Cheyenne, throughout the beautiful state of Wyoming.”
