More XP's for CLSK1 Jun 2023 14:40
CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), America’s Bitcoin Miner™, today announced a purchase of 12,500 brand-new units of the Antminer S19 XP bitcoin mining machine for a total price of $40.5 million, or $23 per terahash ($/TH), which is lower than the current average market price.
The Antminer S19 XP units have a power-efficiency rating of 21.5 joules per terahash (J/TH) and a bitcoin mining compute power (or hashrate) of 141 terahash per second (TH/s) each, for a combined total hashrate of 1.76 exahashes per second (EH/s).
According to the purchase agreement, 6,000 of the 12,500 machines are scheduled to be shipped by the manufacturer in June, while the remaining 6,500 machines are set for shipping in August. The units are expected to be deployed across the Company’s state-of-the-art mining facilities.
“This purchase ensures that we are prepared to meet and potentially exceed our year-end target of 16 EH/s and also positions us to be one of the most power-efficient miners on an energy-per-hashrate basis,” said Zach Bradford, CEO of CleanSpark. “This additional machine purchase also gives us substantial optionality to replace the units in our existing fleet that consume more than 30 joules per terahash while allowing us to maintain less efficient machines only if the economics support doing so.”
