CleanSpark’s Adds More BTC to Treasury

In a press release dated March 1, CleanSpark said that it mined nearly 650 BTC in February and added most of it to its treasury, which now holds 4,218 Bitcoins (about $260 million), up from 3,002 BTC two months ago.

The company mined an average of 22.3 BTC per day in February. It reached a high of 25.2, with the operating hashrate for the month averaging at approximately 13.88 EH/s “due to several weeks of rapid growth.”

While CleanSpark grew its Treasury, it sold 2.8 BTC in February at an average of approximately $50,000 per bitcoin, with the total proceeds from the sale amounting to about $140,000.

CleanSpark CEO Zach Bradford lauded the performance, noting that the company’s teams “have been hard at work and that work is paying off.”

Regarding operational updates, CleanSpark’s three Bitcoin mining facilities, recently acquired in Mississippi, are nearing operation, with the company estimating a hashrate of 2.4 EH/s once fully operational.
