CleanSpark Expands Bitcoin-Backed Credit Facility With $100 Million From Coinbase Prime

The company is using its Bitcoin reserves as collateral to pursue growth without shareholder dilution.

Overview

  • Shares rose about 6% in after-hours trading and are up roughly 33% over the past five sessions following the announcement.
  • Proceeds are earmarked to expand the energy portfolio, scale Bitcoin mining capacity, and build high-performance computing capabilities.
  • The company plans to convert select facilities near major metro areas into diversified compute campuses targeting AI and cloud demand.
  • By collateralizing Bitcoin rather than selling it or issuing new shares, CleanSpark treats its holdings as a working asset while retaining price exposure.
  • Brett Tejpaul of Coinbase Institutional publicly backed the move and highlighted Coinbase Prime’s custody and credit infrastructure supporting the facility.
