CleanSpark (CLSK) announced Q3 FY2024 financial results, with revenue up 129% and a $50 million line of credit from Coinbase.
CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), a prominent Bitcoin mining company, has released its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, which ends June 30, 2024. According to CleanSpark, the company achieved revenue of $104.1 million, which is a significant 129% increase over the same period last year.
Profit and Loss
Despite impressive revenue growth, CleanSpark reported a net loss of $236.2 million for the quarter. The company’s adjusted EBITDA was negative $12.7 million, down significantly from $13.3 million a year ago. CEO Zach Bradford attributed the loss to a strategic decision to replace a significant portion of its mining fleet before the end of its expected life cycle, which resulted in a non-cash charge.
Operational Efficiency and Scalability
Bradford highlighted the company’s operational performance, including a 24% increase in hashrate and a 21% improvement in efficiency since the beginning of the year. CleanSpark is also expanding its operations into Tennessee and Wyoming. CFO Gary A. Vecchiarelli highlighted the company’s resilience during the Bitcoin halving, noting that despite a 50% decrease in block rewards, CleanSpark’s revenue only decreased by 7% thanks to efficient operations.
Partnership with Coinbase
CleanSpark made a significant move by partnering with Coinbase to secure a $50 million revolving line of credit backed by a portion of its Bitcoin holdings. Vecchiarelli said the line of credit will allow the company to lower its cost of capital and capitalize on market opportunities.

- Quarterly revenue increased to $141 million from $45.5 million a year ago.
