CleanSpark Releases January 2024 Bitcoin Mining Update

Announces expansion of Dalton, GA; site is expected to operate at 1.6 EH/s once complete

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), America’s Bitcoin Miner™, today released its unaudited bitcoin mining and operations update for the month ending January 31, 2024.

“I’m excited to announce that we expect energization to begin at our Sandersville expansion next week, with approximately 4.6 EH/s of machines fully hashing by mid-month,” said Zach Bradford, CEO. “I’m also pleased to announce that permitting is underway to double the hashrate at our Dalton campus to 1.6 EH/s. We have a unique relationship with the City of Dalton, which owns and operates its own utility, whereby we are compensated to operate as the city’s only interruptible load during times of emergency power needs. We view this as a best-in-class partnership and as an example of some of the creative ways that bitcoin miners are working with utilities to improve grid performance, even in regulated markets like Georgia.”
