Past and Present of CleanSpark
CleanSpark ignited its business motto to provide clean energy to homes and businesses in 2014. And seems to have entered the bitcoin mining industry around 2020. Now the major source of income for the firm is bitcoin mining. The stand is different from other mining companies because of its involvement to safeguard the planet and its ideology to provide green and clean energy.
Another unique identity of the company is the selling out of bitcoin(BTC) earned from mining. The company employs the earned cash back for business improvement, this was the reason for them to stay stable in this bear market.
Zach Bradford, CleanSpark’s CEO states,
We look forward to maintaining and growing jobs and infrastructure at our new campus in Washington.
