Amid the crypto market downturn, the bitcoin mining company Cleanspark purchased two bulk orders of bitcoin mining machines during the last 30 dage. Cleanspark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) announced on Thursday that the company purchased 1,061 Whatsminer M30S bitcoin mining devices. The Whatsminer M30S series are manufactured by the company Microbt and the 1,061 machines equate to 93 petahash per second (PH/s) of hashpower.
Cleanspark detailed that the 93 PH/s have already been added to existing operations and the machines are currently mining bitcoin (BTC) at the firm’s renewable-powered co-location facility. The bitcoin mining company’s CEO, Zach Bradford, explained that the firm is seeing “unprecedented opportunities in this market.” According to Cleanspark, the company managed to purchase the Whatsminer machines at a much lower price than what the devices were selling for a few months ago.
The bitcoin mining company further noted that the 1,800 Antminer S19 XP bitcoin mining machines acquired in mid-June were also purchased at a discounted rate. “Our tried-and-true hybrid approach of co-locating our machines while expanding our own mining facilities puts us in an excellent position to sustainably grow our bitcoin mining capacity in what is shaping up to be an incredible market for builders,” Bradford remarked after the ASIC device acquisition.
