AI hosting as a revenue experiment for bitcoin mining is getting a real look from CleanSpark (CLSK)'s bullish outlook. The hint: miners could monetize their infrastructure beyond pure BTC digs, dipping toes into AI workloads. [1]
AI hosting as a revenue pivot The note centers on expanding into AI/HPC hosting as a potential new revenue layer for miners. [1] In practice, that means mining facilities could host AI workloads alongside cryptocurrency mining. [1]
Proto Rigs edge Proto Rigs are modular, upgradeable ASICs that promise lower costs and longer lifespans. [1] If CleanSpark deploys these at scale, the capex dynamics could become a game-changer for the mining setup. [1]
Financial runway The post highlights CleanSpark securing $100M in new credit lines, bringing total to $200M, all non-dilutive. [1] That runway supports expansion, including a treasury of over 13,000 BTC and a 60 EH/s hashrate growth. [1]
Market signals Analysts’ price targets are in the $20–$30 range, underscoring the bullish stance. [1] Supporters call CleanSpark undervalued and bullish, with upside if AI hosting catches on. [1]
Wider implications The thread signals a broader possibility: AI hosting could become a vital revenue stream for miners beyond BTC mining. [1] That framing invites questions about how energy use and security will be addressed as AI workloads enter mining facilities. [1]
Closing thought: watch CLSK’s next moves to see whether AI hosting becomes a broader trend among miners. [1]
