CleanSpark Launches AI Data‑Center Initiative With Veteran Hire and Georgia Expansion

The company seeks to diversify revenue by repurposing power‑rich sites for AI compute.

Overview

  • CleanSpark appointed Jeffrey Thomas as senior vice president of AI data centers, highlighting his leadership of Humain’s Saudi AI program and long track record in digital infrastructure.
  • The company secured additional power and real estate in College Park, Georgia, to provide high‑value compute capacity to the Atlanta metro area.
  • Executives said a review of the national portfolio is underway to identify AI‑suitable conversions, with giga‑campus opportunities under evaluation to satisfy off‑taker demand.
  • Shares climbed into double‑digit gains on Monday after the announcement, with reports citing roughly 10% to 14% intraday moves.
  • The expansion follows reduced bitcoin mining economics and is supported by a $100 million BTC‑backed credit line secured in September to fund growth in energy, mining and high‑performance computing projects.
