Hashrate jumped to 27.6 EH/s

CleanSpark, a publicly-traded miner whose share price also rose significantly in the past year, also announced a surge in its hashrate.

As of September 30, 2024, CleanSpark’s hashrate stood at 27.6 EH/s – up from 9.6 EH/s and indicating a one year increase of 187%. The company added 5 EH/s to its capacity in September.

In a comment, CleanSpark CEO Zach Bradford said:

“During the past year, we grew our hashrate from 9.6 EH/s to 27.6 EH/s, or 187%, with 5 EH/s coming online just during the month of September. The Company executed its plan to strategically diversify its portfolio across three new states and completed multiple expansions at existing data centers.”

What helped CleanSpark to grow its hashrate?

Growth was down to CleanSpark getting through the pre-halving and post-halving period and the closure of multiple acquisitions. It includes the GRIID Infrastructure deal and expansion to new sites in the US.

With the expansion efforts, and emerging from Hurricane Helene relatively unscathed means further hashrate growth. According to Bradford, CleanSpark could hit 30 EH/s by the end of October 2024 and forecast 50 EH/s in 2025.

The Bitcoin miner released its unaudited update as BTC price struggled amid negative sentiment around geopolitical chaos in the Middle East. At the time of writing, the flagship cryptocurrency traded around $60,663, down 1.5% in the past 24 hours and -7.3% over the past week.
