What CleanSpark does

US bitcoin miner operating low-cost, mostly domestic mining facilities.

Earns bitcoin as the reward for validating transactions, so revenue depends on bitcoin's price and its share of the network's computing power. It owns its sites and machines, mostly in Georgia and Tennessee, rather than renting hosting space, which gives it control of costs. It began as a software and microgrid business.
