CleanSpark didn’t name the tenant, but said it was a “high investment-grade” global technology company. The contract may reach as much as $11.6 billion in revenue if two five-year extension options are exercised, CleanSpark said in a statement on Tuesday.
The tenant will deploy infrastructure at Sandersville dedicated to a range of computing workloads, the Nevada-based company said. The tenant has also signed a letter of intent and exclusivity arrangement covering CleanSpark’s entire Texas portfolio of 718 acres with up to 885 megawatts of secured and planned power capacity.
CleanSpark is among a growing number of public Bitcoin mining companies that are transitioning to data-center operators to support artificial intelligence applications. It is the first data-center lease for the company after it announced its pivot from a pure-play Bitcoin miner in October.
Soaring demand for AI computing power has made data centers sought-after resources. Former top Bitcoin miners such as TeraWulf and Cipher Digital have seen their share prices surge after landing hosting contracts with tech giants such as Microsoft Corp.
