CleanSpark’s first ever Bitcoin mining facility is in College Park, Georgia. It sits on six acres near the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and features at its heart 20 outdoor air-cooled pods enclosed by a Department of Transportation sound wall. Machines are also housed in an annex building and within the original data center.
CleanSpark founders Zach Bradford and Matt Schultz originally visited the operation to consult on an energy project but quickly recognized the opportunity to lead one of the most important energy projects of our generation: Bitcoin mining.
An 87,000-square-foot data center in Norcross was purchased and transformed into CleanSpark’s second Bitcoin mining facility. Situated on over seven acres, the immersion-cooled site participates in Georgia’s Flex REC program and is 100% net carbon-neutral.
There are two large rooms that house 20 MW of single-phase immersion — about 4,300 machines. Liquid immersion cooling, where the Bitcoin mining machines are fully immersed in a specialized oil, has proven to significantly improve efficiency by reducing power consumption and extending the life of the machines — thereby maximizing financial gains.
Nestled between Augusta and Athens, the historic town of Washington is home to CleanSpark’s third Bitcoin mining facility. It was purchased during the summer 2022 bear market from another Bitcoin miner as an already-operational site. Bitcoin mining machines are set up in multiple air-cooled buildings. A completed 50MW expansion created four more buildings filled with an additional 14,000 latest-gen miners. It draws power predominantly from low-carbon sources, such as nuclear energy.
Since its acquisition, CleanSpark has contributed hundreds of thousands in taxes to the city and supported numerous local businesses through sponsorships and charities. It is a perfect place to mine Bitcoin, and we are thrilled to partner with the community.
CleanSpark’s fourth Bitcoin mining site (and second to be purchased during the summer 2022 bear market) is the largest facility in our portfolio. The turnkey operation in Sandersville was acquired from another Bitcoin miner with room to almost triple its capacity.
We completed construction on a massive 150 MW expansion and the first 100 MW has since been energized, adding 4 EH/s to CleanSpark’s hashrate. It features cathedral-style buildings, some the length of over three football fields.
Dalton marks CleanSpark’s fifth campus in Georgia. It collaborates closely with the local utility, which is owned and operated by the City of Dalton. This campus is unique, being made of four separate sites a few miles from each other.
