Cleanspark Inks Deal with Cryptech Solutions — Purchases 10,000 New Antminers

In the press release sent to Bitcoin.com News, Cleanspark said the 10,000 new Bitmain-brand bitcoin miners should be delivered to the firm’s mining campuses in roughly two months. The publicly-listed bitcoin mining operation obtained the new mining devices for “$28 million, after credits and discounts.” Zach Bradford, the CEO of Cleanspark said the company has been intent on building out the firm’s mining infrastructure.

“During the tail end of the bull market last year, we strategically focused on building infrastructure instead of following the then industry trend of pre-ordering equipment months in advance,” Bradford explained. “This strategy positioned us to make purchases of landed rigs at significantly lower prices, thus reducing the time between deploying capital and hashing, accelerating our return on investment,” the CEO added.

At press time, Bitcoin’s hashrate is coasting along at 227.99 exahash per second (EH/s) or 227,990,154,305,221,200,000 hashes per second (H/s).
