![]() ![]() Throughout the last two quarters of 2022, many miners felt the full force of the bear market, which led to several high-profile bankruptcies, while operations like Core Scientific and Argo were dumping their Bitcoin to shore up their balance sheets.ĬleanSpark was one of the few operations that saw it through the tough times, according to Holyoak. Our major power provider in Georgia, MEAG, sources large sums of low carbon energy and has been a great partner.” "We work hard to cultivate strong relationships at the community level, with mayors, city councils, and local residents and do our best to give back. “Sales tax on our energy bills pour hundreds of thousands of dollars a month into local programs and infrastructure," he said.

Today, CleanSpark says carbon-free energy accounts for 90% of its total energy mix.Īt the company’s largest facility in Sandersville, it has so far achieved 72% carbon-free energy, according to its most recent energy disclosure. ![]() The company markets itself as “ sustainable Bitcoin mining ” and aims to achieve 100% renewably-sourced energy across its mining operations. Like their peers at TeraWulf, CleanSpark's genesis predates Bitcoin mining and has its roots in the power industry.ĬleanSpark was founded in 1987 as a software and energy solutions company and took its first steps into running Bitcoin mining facilities relatively recently in 2020. So if all the machines were to come online today, CleanSpark would have cornered roughly 5% of Bitcoin’s global computing power. To put that into perspective, according to an estimate by CoinWarz, the total hash rate of the Bitcoin mining network sits at a little under 322.53 EH/s today. When these machines are up and running later this quarter, the Washington facility will add 2.44 EH/s to the company’s total operational hash rate.ĬleanSpark now claims to have a total of 15.9 EH/s either deployed or under contract, with an end-of-year target of hitting a staggering 16 EH/s. Once deployed, CleanSpark’s fleet in Georgia will have added 6.3 exahashes per second (EH/s) of computing power to the company's current capacity of 6.7 EH/s, making for a 95% increase.ĬleanSpark also purchased 20,000 miners in February, which are currently being delivered to the company’s Washington facility, which is also in Georgia.
