This consistent output is supported by a deployed fleet of over 240,000 miners, achieving a peak operational hashrate of 50 exahashes per second. <\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s efficiency remains a key advantage, with its best-performing machines operating at 16.07 joules per terahash.<\/p>\n<p>Despite selling 589 bitcoin last month, CleanSpark\u2019s total holdings still stand at a substantial 13,033 bitcoin. The sales, executed at an average price of $110,057 per BTC, provided the non-dilutive capital that CFO Gary Vecchiarelli emphasized is critical for funding new ventures without weakening shareholder equity.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, CleanSpark is far from alone in this endeavor.
