CleanSpark secures $100 million bitcoin-backed credit facility from Coinbase

CleanSpark Inc. (NASDAQ: CLSK) announced it has increased its bitcoin-backed credit facility with Coinbase Prime (NASDAQ: COIN) by $100 million, according to a company statement.

The bitcoin mining company said it will deploy the financing into strategic capital expenditures, including expanding its energy portfolio, scaling bitcoin mining operations, and investing in high-performance computing capabilities.

"We are proud to expand our relationship with Coinbase Prime as we continue to add megawatts to our portfolio and take steps toward alternative use cases for some of our data centers," said Matt Schultz, CleanSpark's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.

Schultz indicated the company sees opportunity to accelerate mining growth while optimizing assets near major metropolitan centers through potential development of high-performance compute campuses.

Brett Tejpaul, Head of Coinbase Institutional, said CleanSpark's approach represents "a significant step forward for growing the crypto ecosystem through focused capital deployment."

Gary Vecchiarelli, CleanSpark's Chief Financial Officer and President, described the financing as part of the company's strategy to deliver growth using non-dilutive financing. He said the company's "Infrastructure First" strategy will enhance shareholder value as it expands into diversified compute opportunities.

CleanSpark operates a portfolio of data centers across the United States and positions itself as a bitcoin mining company focused on low-cost electricity and operational efficiency.
