CleanSpark Expands Bitcoin Mining and Unveils New AI Data Center Initiatives CleanSpark reported production of 658 BTC in March 2026 and 1,799 BTC for Q1 2026, with a treasury holding of 13,561 BTC at the end of March.
The company’s operational hashrate reached 50 EH/s, supported by 1.8 gigawatts of contracted power capacity.
CleanSpark is expanding beyond Bitcoin mining, adding a second Texas data center campus with 300 megawatts of power capacity and pursuing AI and high-performance computing workloads, including talks with an investment-grade hyperscaler.
For investors, the key takeaway is that CleanSpark is pairing a sizable Bitcoin mining operation with a growing data center footprint. The reported BTC production and treasury position indicate that the company is holding a meaningful stack of mined Bitcoin, while the 50 EH/s hashrate and 1.8 gigawatts of contracted power point to a substantial infrastructure base already in place.
A notable element in the recent updates is the push into AI and high-performance computing. The second Texas campus with 300 megawatts of capacity and discussions with an investment-grade hyperscaler indicate that CleanSpark is working to use its power access and data center assets for non-crypto workloads as well. For investors, the narrative increasingly centers on a dual-track business: Bitcoin mining plus AI and HPC hosting, with reinvestment of mining cash flow into additional infrastructure to support that mix.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$82k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.09% per year for the foreseeable future.
