Ah, the grand theater of finance! Nasdaq’s darling, CleanSpark, has decided to juggle fire once more, announcing a $1.15 billion senior convertible note offering-a sum so grand it could make even the Master’s cat, Behemoth, purr with envy. 🤑 But what is this? A mere expansion of Bitcoin mining operations, or a desperate leap into the abyss of AI infrastructure? The world holds its breath, and the devil whispers, “Details, details…”
The company, with its heart set on grandeur, estimates a net haul of $1.13 billion-or a staggering $1.28 billion if the initial purchasers decide to dance to the full tune of their options. The offering, like a poorly timed séance, is expected to close on November 13, provided the stars align and the closing conditions are deemed satisfactory. 🌙✨
And what of the spoils? Ah, the usual farce: $460 million to repurchase common stock, a gesture as transparent as a ghost’s promise. The remainder? To expand their power and land portfolio, develop data center infrastructure, repay debts, and, of course, cover the ever-present “general corporate expenses.” 🏦💼
The repurchase, they say, will occur in “privately negotiated transactions” at a share price of $15.03-the Nasdaq’s closing price on Monday. A price, one might add, as arbitrary as the Master’s mood after a failed séance. 🕰️💸
This charade comes nearly a year after CleanSpark’s previous $550 million convertible note offering, which closed in December 2024. CryptoMoon, ever the chronicler of financial follies, reported it with due solemnity. 📰🌕
CleanSpark, the second-largest Bitcoin mining firm after Marathon Holdings, boasts an operating hashrate of 46.60 exahashes per second. A number, no doubt, as impressive as it is incomprehensible to the layman. 🏆⚡
Bitcoin Miners: Now with AI Flavor! 🤖✨
In a twist worthy of the Master’s pen, Bitcoin mining companies are now pivoting to AI data infrastructure-a move as sudden as a visit from the devil himself. Diversification, they call it, driven by the post-halving pressure and the siren call of new revenue streams. 🎭💰
CleanSpark’s shares, ever the dramatic actors, soared 13% when the company first announced its AI expansion on October 20. CryptoMoon, ever vigilant, captured the moment. 📈📰
“We have been reviewing the entire portfolio from first principles to evaluate AI suitability and have identified Georgia as a strategic region for both potential conversion as well as expansion,” declared Scott Garrison, chief development officer and executive vice president at CleanSpark. A statement as grand as it is vague, like a prophecy from the cat’s mouth. 🗣️🌍
Meanwhile, IREN, another player in this grand ballet, signed a $9.7 billion five-year agreement with Microsoft to provide access to Nvidia GPUs hosted within its data centers. A synergy, they say, between Bitcoin and AI. 🖥️🤝
Core Scientific, too, joined the fray with a $3.5 billion deal with AI cloud provider CoreWeave, providing 200 megawatts of infrastructure for high-performance computing. A deal, one might say, that saved the company from the brink of bankruptcy-a fate as inevitable as the Master’s cough. 💼💸
Ah, the AI expansion-a lifeline for Core Scientific, which had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2022, only to rise again like a phoenix (or perhaps a poorly conjured spirit) two years later. 🦅🔥
