CleanSpark expands power capacity, secures Texas site for AI push
CleanSpark expanded its power capacity and secured a Texas site for its new AI campus, reflecting a broader shift among Bitcoin miners toward high-performance computing.
Bitcoin miner CleanSpark expanded its power capacity by 28% in October as part of a broader push beyond crypto mining into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC).
The US-based company said it had acquired 271 acres near Houston, Texas, securing 285 megawatts of long-term power for a dedicated AI data center. The move marks one of CleanSpark’s largest steps yet to diversify its operations as demand for energy-intensive computing continues to surge.
CleanSpark’s AI move also led to a new partnership with Submer, a company that offers cooling solutions for data centers.
“While Bitcoin remains an integral part of our business, we’re equally focused on developing large-scale data centers that will power the next generation of innovation across the digital world,” said Matt Schultz, CleanSpark’s CEO and chairman.
