CleanSpark Hits Top 4 Bitcoin Miners with 10K+ BTC Stack!

CleanSpark, a US based Bitcoin mining company, has hit a big milestone with 10,097 BTC in the treasury as of January 9.

That’s a 236% year over year growth and puts CleanSpark alongside MARA, Riot and Hut 8 as one of the top 4 public miners with over 10,000 BTC in reserves.

CleanSpark’s CEO Zach Bradford said “Our operations support the bitcoin ecosystem, American energy independence and domestic jobs. The entire BTC treasury was mined in the US, we are committed to local energy and local workforce.”

Efficient Mining Drives Treasury Growth

CleanSpark attributes its treasury growth to efficient scaling and disciplined financial strategies:

  • Hashrate Expansion: The company’s operational hashrate surged to 39.1 exahashes per second (EH/s) by the end of 2024.

  • Energy Efficiency Gains: Hashrate efficiency improved by 33% from 2023, reflecting enhanced energy use.

  • December Mining Output: CleanSpark mined 668 Bitcoin in December 2024, marking a 7.4% increase from November.

Unlike many miners CleanSpark takes a balanced approach to its BTC holdings. In December they sold 12.65 BTC, held the rest of the mined BTC to add to the treasury. CFO Gary Vecchiarelli said “sound risk management principles and disciplined capital strategy” is the approach to the treasury.

Market Performance and Industry Context

Despite the operational success CleanSpark’s stock (CLSK) has had challenges. On January 9 it was down 5.8% to $10.09, the broader market was down. The company was also down 16% for 2024, missed the mining industry’s big rally in 2024 after a great 2023 where the stock was up over 440%.

In comparison, December’s Bitcoin mining leaderboard highlighted the following production levels:

  • MARA Holdings: 890 BTC

  • Riot Platforms: Over 500 BTC

  • Bitdeer: 145 BTC

  • Bit Digital: 32.4 BTC, reflecting a 27.8% decline due to asset redeployment and aging miner retirement.

CleanSpark’s December production ranked second only to MARA Holdings, solidifying its position as a top performer in the industry.

Looking Forward

CleanSpark’s growth and efficiency will continue to be a differentiator in the bitcoin mining space. With demand for sustainable and scalable mining solutions increasing CleanSpark is ready for 2025. While the market is volatile CleanSpark’s innovation and treasury management will be the long term advantage.
