Analysis · CLSK · Crypto Assets
A 20-year triple-net lease has been signed with a high-investment-grade global technology company for CleanSpark's Sandersville, Georgia data center campus. The agreement is expected to deliver $6.6 billion in contracted revenue over the initial term, with annual NOI of roughly $330 million at nearly 100% margin. This marks a transformational pivot from Bitcoin mining to institutional-grade digital infrastructure, validating the company's land-and-power strategy. In a sign of a much larger relationship, the tenant also signed a letter of intent covering CleanSpark's entire 885 MW Texas portfolio. Against a backdrop of recent heavy losses and a 33% short interest, this deal provides a massive, long-term, high-quality revenue stream that fundamentally changes the investment thesis.
