▲(54.55% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/14/26
Overall score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (losses, higher leverage, and sustained cash burn). Technical momentum is a meaningful positive, but valuation remains constrained by ongoing losses, and earnings-call upside from the AI/HPC transition is tempered by near-term losses and execution/timing risk.
Positive Factors
Contracted capacity & pipeline
A 1.8 GW contracted base and >5 GW pipeline provide durable optionality to monetize large-scale AI/HPC leases rather than relying solely on spot Bitcoin mining. This capacity pipeline underpins multi-year revenue potential, supports longer lease durations, and enables strategic diversification of revenue streams.
Negative Factors
Negative cash generation
Persistently negative operating and free cash flow means the business consumes capital to fund operations and growth. Over months this increases reliance on external financing, raises dilution risk or leverage, and constrains capacity to self‑fund buildouts or absorb prolonged low Bitcoin prices.

Cleanspark Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 11, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 11, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a constructive strategic narrative: CleanSpark is transitioning from a mining-focused company into a digital infrastructure and AI/HPC developer with substantial contracted power (1.8 GW), clear site milestones (Sandersville live + acreage, Sealy and Brazoria approvals), strong liquidity (~$1.2B) and evolving commercial and modular construction capabilities. At the same time, near-term financials remain challenged—revenues fell ~25% QoQ driven by a ~24% drop in average Bitcoin price, the company reported a large GAAP net loss (~$378M) driven by ~ $263M of noncash mark-to-market charges, and adjusted EBITDA remains materially negative. Execution risk (lease signings, build timelines), potential asset impairments during conversion, and market volatility for DAM are notable short-term headwinds. Overall, the strategic positives and balance-sheet strength provide meaningful optionality to execute the AI/HPC transition, but near-term financial results and execution risks persist.Positive Updates
Large contracted capacity and meaningful pipeline
1.8 gigawatts of currently contracted capacity across the portfolio, with a broader pipeline of greater than 5 gigawatts of potential capacity beyond contracted assets, providing optionality for HPC and AI deployments.
Negative Updates
Significant revenue decline tied to Bitcoin price drop
Revenue decreased by approximately $45 million, or ~25% sequentially, to $136 million for the quarter—directly attributable to the average Bitcoin price falling to ~$76,000 in Q2 (down ~24% from ~$100,000 in Q1).

Company Guidance
CleanSpark’s guidance emphasized disciplined, capacity‑driven growth: the company has 1.8 GW of currently contracted capacity (and a >5 GW pipeline), Sandersville’s 250 MW is live and an additional 122‑acre parcel was acquired, Metro Atlanta added 25 MW last month, Sealy has 285 MW approved with just over 200 MW slated to energize in H1 2027, and Brazoria totals 600 MW (300 MW ERCOT‑approved; second 300 MW progressing). Management reiterated conservative capital deployment (a “couple hundred million” deployed at Sandersville to date, current site spend in the millions not tens of millions until lease), expect 14–18 months from lease signing to delivery, plan modular factory builds that can cut on‑site labor by up to 70%, and see constructive financing markets (recent data‑center financings 5–6x oversubscribed, pricing just over 6%, $400M of Bitcoin credit capacity available). Operational and financial metrics driving the guidance included Q2 average Bitcoin ~$76k (down 24% QoQ from ~$100k), revenue down ≈$45M (≈25%) to ~$136M, mined 1,799 BTC (22 fewer QoQ), gross margin >40% (vs 47% prior quarter), net loss ≈$378M (includes ≈$263M non‑cash BTC mark‑to‑market), adjusted EBITDA −$241M (improved from −$295M), liquidity ≈$1.2B (cash $260M + 13,561 BTC valued $925M at Mar 31; HODL ≈$1.1B post‑quarter), and DAM cash generation ~$4M this quarter ($17.2M fiscal YTD).Cleanspark Financial Statement Overview
