We dive into CleanSpark's impressive growth to 50 EH/s, their pure play mining strategy versus the industry's pivot to HPC/AI, and how they're managing a $680M convertible bond. Harry shares insights on fleet efficiency, power portfolio optimization, and the strategic optionality their strong cash flow provides.
