CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), a prominent Bitcoin mining company, has revealed its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, ending June 30, 2024. According to CleanSpark, the company achieved a revenue of $104.1 million, marking a significant increase of 129% from the same period last year.

Revenue and Losses

Despite the impressive revenue growth, CleanSpark reported a net loss of $236.2 million for the quarter. The company’s Adjusted EBITDA stood at a negative $12.7 million, a substantial decrease from the previous year’s $13.3 million. CEO Zach Bradford attributed the losses to strategic decisions aimed at replacing a significant portion of their mining fleet before the end of its expected lifecycle, which resulted in non-cash expenses.

Operational Efficiency and Expansion

Bradford highlighted the company’s operational achievements, including a 24% increase in hashrate and a 21% improvement in efficiency year-to-date. CleanSpark is also expanding its operations into Tennessee and Wyoming. CFO Gary A. Vecchiarelli emphasized the company’s resilience during the Bitcoin halving event, noting that despite a 50% reduction in block rewards, CleanSpark’s revenue only dropped by 7% due to efficient operations.

Partnership with Coinbase

In a significant move, CleanSpark has partnered with Coinbase to secure a $50 million revolving line of credit, collateralized by a portion of its Bitcoin holdings. Vecchiarelli stated that this line of credit would enable the company to capitalize on market opportunities with a low cost of capital.
