CleanSpark, Inc., one of America’s leading Bitcoin mining firms, has reported impressive financial results for the quarter ending December 31, 2024. The company posted a revenue of $162.3 million, marking a 120% increase year-over-year.
The financial performance reflects CleanSpark’s operational efficiency and strategic expansion, with a marginal cost to mine each Bitcoin at approximately $34,000.
Record-Breaking Financial Performance
CleanSpark’s net income soared to $246.8 million in Q4, a substantial jump from $25.9 million in the same period last year. This equates to $0.85 per basic share, a significant increase from $0.14 per share in 2023.
Additionally, the company’s adjusted EBITDA, rose to $321.6 million, compared to $69.1 million in the previous year.
As of the end of 2024, CleanSpark’s total assets stood at $2.8 billion, including $929.1 million in Bitcoin holdings. The company reported total liabilities of $757.7 million, along with $2 billion in stockholders’ equity and $1.2 billion in working capital.
Notably, CleanSpark secured a $50 million Bitcoin-collateralized line of credit, reinforcing its liquidity position.
Operational Growth and Strategic Expansions
Zach Bradford, CleanSpark’s CEO, highlighted the company’s operational improvements across key industry metrics such as operating hashrate, fleet efficiency, Bitcoin treasury, and uptime.
He emphasized that CleanSpark had exceeded its 2024 guidance, reaching an operating hashrate of over 40 EH/s in January while improving fleet efficiency to 16.15 J/Th.
Bradford attributed the revenue growth and cost efficiency to the company’s consistent investments in infrastructure and technology.
Gary Vecchiarelli, CleanSpark’s CFO, pointed to the company’s strong capital strategy as a driving factor in its success. He noted that CleanSpark successfully closed a $650 million convertible bond deal, securing industry-leading terms.
The company has also built a Bitcoin treasury exceeding 10,500 BTC, all self-mined within the United States. According to Vecchiarelli, CleanSpark has maintained one of the cleanest balance sheets in the Bitcoin mining industry, positioning it well for further expansion.

Acquisitions and Future Strategy
CleanSpark has been expanding aggressively. In October 2024, the company completed the acquisition of GRIID, a fellow Bitcoin mining firm, in a $155 million deal. This move was aimed at strengthening CleanSpark’s mining capabilities and reinforcing its market position.
Additionally, in December 2024, the company closed a $650 million zero-coupon convertible notes offering, designed to support debt repayment, capital expenditures, and future acquisitions.
These strategic financial decisions are expected to fuel CleanSpark’s continued growth and resilience against market fluctuations.
Overcoming Challenges in Bitcoin Mining
The company’s ability to offset the impact of Bitcoin’s halving was another significant achievement. Bitcoin halving events, which reduce mining rewards, often pose financial challenges for mining firms.
However, CleanSpark successfully navigated this challenge, demonstrating its adaptability in the volatile crypto-mining sector.
