Lines of Business

Bitcoin Mining Business

Through CleanSpark, Inc., and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, ATL Data Centers LLC (“ATL”), CleanBlok, Inc. (“CleanBlok”), CleanSpark DW, LLC, and CleanSpark GLP, LLC, the Company mines bitcoin. The Company entered the bitcoin mining industry through its acquisition of ATL in December 2020 in College Park, GA., acquired a second data center in August 2021 in Norcross, GA. a third data center and mining equipment in Washington, GA, in August 2022, a fourth data center and mining equipment in October 2022 in Sandersville, GA and has a co-location agreement with New York-based Coinmint, LLC in place since July 2021. Bitcoin mining has now become the Company’s principal revenue generating business activity. The Company does not intend to mine any other cryptocurrency, other than bitcoin. As of March 31, 2023, the Company does not support or host miners for other companies at any of our owned facilities.

Through the Company’s subsidiaries CSRE Properties Norcross, LLC, CSRE Property Management Company, LLC, CSRE Properties, LLC, CSRE Properties Washington, LLC, CSRE Properties Sandersville, LLC, and CleanSpark HQ, LLC, the Company maintains real property holdings.

Discontinued Operations

As of June 30, 2022, the Company deemed its energy operations to be discontinued operations due to its strategic decision to strictly focus on its bitcoin mining operations and divest of the majority of its energy assets.

Through its discontinued operations segment, the Company previously provided energy solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiaries CleanSpark, LLC, CleanSpark Critical Power Systems, Inc., GridFabric, LLC, and Solar Watt Solutions, Inc. These solutions consisted of engineering, design and software solutions, custom hardware solutions, Open Automated Demand response, solar, energy storage for microgrid and distributed energy systems. The Company has since sold the majority of its software and intellectual property assets related to the Energy Segment, and is in the process of selling additional remaining inventory and assets. In February 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the remaining battery and solar inventory pertaining to the discontinued operations of Solar Watt Solutions Inc. See Note 4 – Discontinued Operations.

Other business activities

Through ATL, we also provide traditional data center services to a small number of remaining clients, such as providing customers with rack space, power and equipment, and offer several cloud services including virtual services, virtual storage, and data backup services. ATL is in the process of offloading these customers.
