LAS VEGAS, Dec. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) (the “Company”), America’s Bitcoin Miner™, today announced its bitcoin mining hashrate has reached 6 EH/s, a three-fold increase in just one year. 

“As we said on our earnings call last week, we expected to hit 6 EH/s before year’s end and today we are pleased to announce that we have,” said Zach Bradford, CEO. “This achievement is in part due to some of the machines that we were hosting for Mawson being moved out earlier than anticipated. Of course, that only tells a portion of the story. The real achievement here is the tremendous work being done by our operational teams who continue to rack machines even in Georgia’s currently frigid temperatures. We’d also like to wish all our team, shareholders, and other stakeholders, particularly the communities in which we operate in Georgia, a very Happy Holiday season.”  

CleanSpark owns and operates four bitcoin mining campuses in the state of Georigia, operating a fleet of approximately 62,000 bitcoin mining machines, powered primarily by low-carbon energy. The Company is projecting to hit 16 EH/s by the end of 2023.
