Amer Tadayon, CleanSpark’s Chief Revenue Officer, stated, “We are very pleased with the results being generated by our sales and marketing teams. All of our efforts have begun to bear fruit, especially our residential initiative, which has been yielding incredible results.”
Bitcoin Production and Operations Updates
- In the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company produced more than 144 Bitcoins and has produced 205 Bitcoins since acquiring its mining operations on December 10, 2021.
- As of April 18, 2021, CleanSpark is holding more than 143 Bitcoins on its balance sheet, all of which have been produced by its mining operations.
- Total hashrate capacity is expected to increase to over 1.1 EH/s by August 2021 and exceed 3.2EH by September 2022.
- At current difficulty rates, 1.1 EH/s would represent 6-7 Bitcoins a day and a hashrate at 3.2 EH/s it would represent 18-20 Bitcoins per day.
- The growth from 1.1 EH/s to 3.2 EH/s is expected to occur at an average rate of 160 PH/s per month from September 2021 to September 2022. At current difficulty rates, this would result in Bitcoin production increasing by approximately one additional Bitcoin per day every month.
CLSK Hash Rate Growth Schedule
The Company plans to continue to regularly provide Bitcoin operational updates and unaudited production results. These updates are intended to keep shareholders informed of CleanSpark substantial growth as it continues to deploy its expanding mining fleet.
Matthew Schultz, CleanSpark’s Executive Chairman, stated, “From having 95% non-carbon-based electricity powering our mining operations, to our rapidly-growing partnership program, it’s clear that our focus on an ESG-centered approach to growth continues to be validated. Global events, from the recent power disruptions, taking Chinese BTC mining offline, to the massive, sustained outages in our own country have resulted in a significant increase in inquiries surrounding our microgrid and energy offerings as residential, industrial and commercial customers recognize the fragile state of the current power distribution model. Our recent financing transactions have positioned the Company to continue to make strategic, accretive moves, and we look forward to sharing the results with our shareholders.”
