Cleanspark has been one of this cycle’s big mining winners. We brought on Zach Bradford, CEO of Cleanspark, to understand the game plan!

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! This week we are joined by Zach Bradford, CEO of Cleanspark, to discuss Cleanspark’s exlplosive 2024 growth. From purchasing peer miner Griid to new sites in multiple states, Bradford goes through Cleanspark’s last twelve months, why the company is focused on Bitcoin and Bitcoin only, why Cleanspark is focused on building in the US (but maybe not forever!), comparative strategies like MARA’s new HODL and possibly some tech developments worth listening to the end of the show for.
