The American Bitcoin miner announced on Thursday that it has reached and surpassed 10,000 Bitcoin in its treasury. After ending 2024 on a high note, CleanSpark announced that its self-mined Bitcoins, from its US-based operations, have reached a crucial milestone.
“Surpassing the 10,000-bitcoin mark reflects CleanSpark’s commitment to operational excellence, strategic growth, and disciplined capital management,” Zach Bradford, CEO and President of CleanSpark, noted.
As Coinspeaker reported, the company achieved an average hash rate of 35.52 EH/s in December 2024, which resulted in a total reward of 21.56 BTCs. However, the company sold 12.65 Bitcoins in December at an average price of slightly above $101k.
The continued growth in the CleanSpark Bitcoin reserves is heavily influenced by the expansion of its operations in the United States, including Wyoming. Having achieved a whale holder status, CleanSpark leaders are confident the company is gradually achieving its financial strategy of hedging against inflation.
“As the digital asset landscape evolves, we are committed to using our bitcoin holdings in a manner that aligns with sound risk management principles and disciplined capital strategy. By avoiding unfavorable counterparty exposure and leveraging our bitcoin to lower our cost of capital, we are positioning CleanSpark as a leader in responsible financial innovation,” Gary Vecchiarelli, Chief Financial Officer of CleanSpark, noted.
Market Impact on CleanSpark and Bitcoin Network
