CleanSpark Increases Bitcoin Holdings by 6% in February: What to Expect?

cKey Takeaways:

  • CleanSpark’s operating efficiency saw it add 6% more Bitcoin to its stash in February.
  • CleanSpark remains in a healthy financial state of affairs and has focused on Bitcoin despite stock headwinds.
  • The four strategic expansions it has done in as many states reflect the company’s plans for future growth in this competitive landscape.

One of the more notable figures in the Bitcoin mining industry, CleanSpark, has urged a major expansion of its Bitcoin treasury. Their latest report shows the company’s holdings increased by about 6% in February. While the stock market presents challenges for Bitcoin miners, CleanSpark continues to methodically grow its Bitcoin position.

Mining Performance — Let’s Deep Dive

In February, CleanSpark mined 624 Bitcoins. With the Bitcoin price at around $89,000 at the time of publication, that haul was worth more than $55.6 million. Even more impressively, they did so in February, a shorter month. Such output reflects the company’s commitment to operational performance and mining expertise.

One of CleanSpark’s main facets is efficiency. Their average fleet efficiency was 17.07J/Th (Joules per Terahash) and peak efficiency was 16.82J/Th. Miners are particularly interested in this metric. A lower J/Th means more energy efficient and saves money, resulting in greater profits. This makes them uniquely positioned in a field where energy usage is a critical focus point.

For comparison, look at Marathon Digital Holdings, a Bitcoin mining company. Marathon’s total hashrate figures may be impressive, but its efficiency metrics have lagged CleanSpark at times. Better energy consumption leads to increased profits and a more environmentally friendly business.

Treasury Management: A Long-Term Approach

CleanSpark is not only actively mining and managing its Bitcoin holdings, but also strategically managing its treasury. In February, CleanSpark disposed of minuscule amounts from its Bitcoin — only 2.73 BTC, at an average price north of $95,000 per BTC. Most of that mined Bitcoin went into their corporate treasury.

And as of Feb 28th, CleanSpark owned 11,177 BTC. This puts them among the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin in the world. According to data from BitcoinTreasuries.net, CleanSpark has become one of the largest BTC treasuries in the world belonging to a single corporation.

Cleanspark is the 5th largest Bitcoin holder.

This is a tactical play similar to MicroStrategy’s (now Strategy) early embrace of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. CleanSpark has a significant amount of bitcoin and is hoping to capitalize on the potential long-term price appreciation. It means a vote of confidence in Bitcoin’s future.

Creating the Basis for Growth: Growth through Strategy

CleanSpark isn’t simply sitting on its current mining operations. Indeed, the company was on the move, expanding its infrastructure throughout a half-dozen states. These expansions will allow them to greatly expand their mining capabilities and fortify their place among peers in the market.

  • Georgia: CleanSpark is ramping up its use of immersion cooling technology in its existing facilities. Traditional air cooled rigs vent heat into the environment but can be difficult to keep cool on the network during warmer months.
  • Wyoming: 35 MW (megawatts) of new power contracts signed in Cheyenne, with more on the way. Bitcoin mining requires access to reliable and affordable power and this acquisition reflects CleanSpark’s dedication to obtaining the power necessary for continued growth.
  • Tennessee: A 48 MW facility is under construction in Jackson. The new facility will add dramatically to CleanSpark’s hashrate and in the coming quarters will allow them to continue to expand their growing presence in the mining space.

These expansions are not only about increasing Bitcoin production. They are also about varying the company’s geographic footprint and reducing regional regulatory risks; and ensuring access to alternative energy sources. This tactical diversification is indicative of a soundly managed and future-oriented company.

The Resourceful Financial: Thriving In The Face Of Market Uncertainty

CleanSpark is financially doing great. The mining company posted a total revenue of $162.3 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2025, a staggering 120% increase year-on-year. The company also reported earnings of $241.7 million, or $0.85 per share, an incredible jump from $25.9 million last year.

It is further enhanced by a recently completed $650 million convertible bond and the completion of an “at-the-market” offering program. CleanSpark now holds about $2.8 billion in assets and $1.2 billion in liquidity owing to these financial maneuvers.

Although the outlook is bright financially, stock in the company has been under pressure — in line with the broader challenges seen in the Bitcoin mining market. Both the halving and plummeting cryptocurrency prices have put pressure on business models that already anticipated the impact of the Bitcoin network’s halving. Additionally, there are macroeconomic factors at play, including worries over a potential trade war which have added to market volatility.

CleanSpark’s emphasis on pure Bitcoin mining and treasury management might raise questions for some investors who prefer diversified revenue streams. However, CleanSpark CEO Zach Bradford has defended this strategy, arguing that focusing solely on Bitcoin mining allows the company to optimize its operations and maximize its exposure to Bitcoin’s potential upside.

CleanSpark’s financial prudence, coupled with its strategic focus, positions it to weather market fluctuations more effectively.

The Road Ahead

CleanSpark’s approach of bolstering Bitcoin treasury, maintaining mining efficiencies, and strategic expansions are key to their success. It’s a company that is banking on the long-term value proposition of Bitcoin. Whether this strategy will pay off remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: CleanSpark is committed to its vision and is actively building a foundation for future growth in the Bitcoin mining industry.
