CleanSpark Raises $1.15 Billion and Pivots to AI Expansion
Earlier this quarter, CleanSpark raised $1.15 billion through 0% convertible senior notes, generating over $1.1 billion in net proceeds. Part of this capital was used to retire Bitcoin-backed debt, and the remainder is allocated to expanding into AI data centers power, new infrastructure, and general corporate needs.
After those repayments, CleanSpark holds approximately $400 million in undrawn borrowing capacity across committed lines, according to TheMinerMag.
Bitcoin’s hashprice now trades near $35/PH/s/Day, narrowing profit margins even for operators with low mining costs. Worth clarifying that hashprice refers to the value expected to earn by maintaining a 1 PH/s of mining power per day, which is a critical metric to evaluate the profitability of a mining operation. This metric is highly dependent on the Bitcoin price.
CleanSpark’s net margins have approached break-even following the latest drop in Bitcoin prices. Throughout 2024, the company used Bitcoin-secured credit as part of its operating liquidity strategy, but in recent payments, it has opted to retain undrawn capacity instead.
