CleanSpark Shares Surge Following AI Expansion Announcement
- CleanSpark’s shares rose over 13% on Monday after announcing its expansion into AI data center infrastructure.
- The company appointed Jeffrey Thomas, former president of AI Data centers at Humain, as senior vice president to lead this initiative.
- Georgia has been identified as a strategic region for CleanSpark’s AI operations, with plans for additional power and real estate in College Park.
- This pivot comes amid post-Bitcoin halving pressures, prompting other miners like Core Scientific and Hut 8 to explore similar strategies.
