Rhea-AI Filing Summary

CleanSpark, Inc. reported weak second fiscal quarter 2026 results as bitcoin price movements and higher costs drove a much larger loss. Revenue from bitcoin mining was $136.4 million, down 24.9% from $181.7 million in the same quarter last year.

The company posted a net loss of $378.3 million, or $1.52 per basic share, compared with a net loss of $138.8 million a year ago. Results were heavily affected by a $224.1 million loss on fair value of bitcoin, increased depreciation and amortization of $115.9 million, and higher operating expenses.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA fell sharply to ($241.2 million) from ($57.8 million), showing significantly weaker underlying profitability. As of March 31, 2026, CleanSpark held $260.3 million in cash and $925.2 million of bitcoin HODL value, with working capital of $1.0 billion. Total long-term debt rose to $1.8 billion, while stockholders’ equity was $1.0 billion, reflecting a more leveraged balance sheet despite substantial digital asset holdings.

Insights

Bitcoin fair value losses and leverage drove a much deeper quarterly loss.

CleanSpark saw bitcoin mining revenue drop to $136.4 million, down 24.9% year-over-year. The core driver of the much larger loss was a $224.1 million loss on fair value of bitcoin, combined with materially higher depreciation and operating costs.

Net loss widened to $378.3 million and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA deteriorated to ($241.2 million), indicating weaker underlying profitability even after excluding several non-cash and one-time items. Long-term debt jumped to $1.8 billion, while total assets fell to $2.9 billion, pointing to higher leverage.

Liquidity remains significant, with $260.3 million of cash and $925.2 million of bitcoin HODL value as of March 31, 2026, and working capital of $1.0 billion. Future disclosures in company filings may further clarify how the evolving HPC and AI strategy interacts with bitcoin exposure and the debt load.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
HODL value financial
"As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s total HODL value was $925.2 million,"
high-performance computing ("HPC") technical
"the Company's evolving business strategy to expand into the market for high-performance computing ("HPC") and artificial intelligence ("AI")"
High-performance computing (HPC) uses many powerful processors working together like a team of super-fast calculators to solve very large or complex problems that ordinary computers can’t handle. For investors, HPC matters because it accelerates research, product development, data analysis and AI workloads—shortening time to market, lowering costs or creating competitive advantages that can affect revenue growth, profit margins and a company’s ability to manage technical or regulatory risks.
bitcoin collateral financial
"Loss (gain) on bitcoin collateral totaled a loss of $38,838 and $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively,"
Bitcoin collateral is using bitcoin as a pledged asset to secure a loan, margin position, or other financial obligation; if the borrower fails to meet terms the bitcoin can be sold to repay the lender. Investors care because bitcoin’s value swings can trigger forced sales or margin calls, amplifying gains or losses much like using a house as collateral makes a mortgage riskier if property values fall. Understanding liquidity, price volatility, and custodial arrangements is key when bitcoin is used this way.

CleanSpark Reports Second Fiscal Quarter 2026 Results

 

Doubled MW under contract year-over-year including

585 MW of ERCOT-approved capacity

Increased Bitcoin holdings by 14% and average

monthly hashrate by 18% year-over-year

 

LAS VEGAS, May 11, 2026 -- CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) ("CleanSpark" or the "Company"), today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"This quarter, we accelerated our digital infrastructure evolution across four key areas: land and power development, with ERCOT approval of 300 MW in Brazoria; leasing, with further progress in Georgia and beyond; financing, as market conditions remain constructive; and construction as we continue developing the new parcel in Sandersville," said Matt Schultz, CEO and Chairman of CleanSpark. "Our objectives are clear: commercialize our AI/HPC-applicable assets, grow the portfolio, and continue mining efficiently to power CleanSpark's transformation."

"Our balance sheet remains a core competitive advantage as we execute CleanSpark's growth strategy,” said Gary Vecchiarelli, President and CFO. “We ended the quarter in a strong liquidity position that not only supports our near-term execution pipeline but also preserves meaningful optionality as the AI/HPC and digital infrastructure landscape continues to evolve. Our ability to move quickly and decisively on power and land expansion opportunities, as well as potential site commercialization initiatives, is a direct result of the financial discipline we have maintained. We believe we are well positioned to allocate capital dynamically, capitalize on emerging infrastructure opportunities, and continue creating long-term shareholder value."

Non-GAAP Measure

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. Our non-GAAP “Adjusted EBITDA” excludes (i) impacts of interest, taxes, and depreciation; (ii) our share-based compensation expense, unrealized gains/losses on securities, and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration with respect to previously completed acquisitions, all of which are non-cash items that we believe are not reflective of our general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment, and the resulting expenses could vary significantly in comparison to other companies; (iii) non-cash impairment losses related to long-lived assets; (iv) realized gains and losses on sales of equity securities, the amounts of which are directly related to the unrealized gains and losses that are also excluded; (v) legal fees related to litigation and various transactions, which fees management does not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating activities; (vi) gains and losses on disposal of assets, the majority of which are related to obsolete or unrepairable machines that are no longer deployed; (vii) gains and losses related to discontinued operations that would not be applicable to our future business activities; and (viii) severance expenses.

 

Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these items allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company’s core business operating results and those of other companies, and provides the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management’s internal use of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate our bitcoin-related revenues). For example, we expect that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers and directors.

 

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating (loss) income or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents Adjusted EBITDA, we only utilize that measure supplementally and do not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
