Revenue jumped 47% year-on-year to $45.5 million

The bitcoin mining company now has assets worth more than liabilities on its balance sheet. Gary Vecchiarelli – the Chief Financial Officer of CleanSpark said today in the press release:

I like the flexibility of our balance sheet and our operational performance. We have all pieces in place to extend our strong track record of growth and operational excellence.

CleanSpark had a blockbuster July

CleanSpark had its Georgia location go live in July that added more than 15,000 miners and 50 megawatts of power, as per the press release.

The Nasdaq-listed firm trailed only Marathon Digital and Core Scientific in terms of the number of bitcoin mined last month. According to its CEO Zach Bradford:

We have fully funded our growth to 16 EH/s, including miners, facilities, and other infrastructure. We continue to build on our track record of executing on commitments.

The hash rate improved to 9 EH/s in its recently concluded quarter. At writing, shares of CleanSpark Inc are up more than 150% versus the start of 2023. Its peer Marathon Digital also reports its quarterly update earlier this week (read more).
