CleanSpark (CLSK) said it has purchased 2,597 more Antminer S19 computers in order to capitalize on favorable bitcoin spot prices.
The new machines will be delivered “immediately,” adding to the mining company’s 2,711 rigs that have already been purchased and scheduled for delivery this month, the company said in a statement.
“We continue to take advantage of favorable pricing in the spot market to purchase machines as opportunities present themselves, rather than locking up capital for long periods of time, while we use the standard strategy of future delivery contracts,” said Zach Bradford, CEO and President.
The new machines will increase the company’s hashrate, or computing power, from 1.3 exahash per second (EH/s) to nearly 1.6 EH/s, or about 20%.
The total hashrate of the Bitcoin network is about 162 EH/s as of Nov. 18, according to data analytics firm Glassnode, making CleanSpark’s mining power about 1% of the total network.
Successful Trading is the art of minimizing long term risk and maximizing capital allocation.
