CleanSpark Exceeds 15 EH/s, Completes Acquisition of Mississippi Bitcoin Mining Data Centers
Operations have already commenced at the three facilities, with an expected hashrate of 2.4 EH/s once fully loaded with S21s
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CleanSpark, Inc., America's Bitcoin Miner, today announced it has completed the acquisition of three bitcoin mining data centers in Mississippi, effective February 26. Initial operations have already begun, boosting the Company's operating hashrate to over 15 exahashes per second (EH/s).
"We are thrilled to start operating in Mississippi with our latest expansion. The teams have already racked miners, sending our fleetwide hashrate to over 15 EH/s, and we are hard at work as we sprint to add more hashrate as quickly as possible," said Zach Bradford, CEO. "Expanding into a new state is an important milestone for our company and we are looking forward to partnering with the communities we are joining. By maximizing the grid services capabilities of bitcoin miners, we aim to create jobs and foster economic growth that benefits both our new neighbors and our shareholders. Our investment in Mississippi is one more step in the direction of the shared prosperity that Bitcoin promises."
CleanSpark has a strong tradition of supporting and benefiting the neighborhoods it operates in. In nearby Georgia, it has invested over $700 million into energy infrastructure, miners, buildings, and job creation, while contributing tens of millions of dollars to communities in the form of taxes and local margins on energy bills. CleanSpark expects to bring the same level of care and attention to Mississippi that it is known for in Georgia.
