Company exceeds 17 EH/s; mines 721 bitcoin with a record daily high of over 48 bitcoin
LAS VEGAS, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), America's Bitcoin Miner™, today released its unaudited bitcoin mining and operations update for the month ending April 30, 2024.
"We continue to see monthly gains in our efficiency metrics as we deploy the advanced S21 machines across our expanding facilities," said Zach Bradford, CEO of CleanSpark. "These improvements are pivotal in amplifying our mining output and optimizing operational costs. The remarkable increase in transaction fees immediately following the halving has significantly bolstered our bitcoin production this month, resulting in a robust increase to our bitcoin treasury. We have spent the last several years planning for this moment, and our technological advantages have positioned us to excel under the new market constraints faced by all miners.
"With our industry-leading scale, and low mining costs, we are well positioned to excel in this new post-halving environment. We are already observing signs of less efficient miners beginning to cease operations. This shift is expected to contribute to a decline in the global hashrate, aligning with our predictions of a temporary yet beneficial correction in bitcoin's spot price over the coming weeks.
"We look forward to sharing additional details about our expansion strategy at our upcoming earnings call on Thursday, May 9, at 1:30 p.m. PT / 4:30 p.m. ET."
