Oct 31, 2025 (PRISM News via COMTEX) --
CleanSpark (NASDAQ: CLSK, a leading Bitcoin mining company in the U.S., is making waves with its latest venture into the data center space. The company has announced plans to develop a cutting-edge data center campus in Texas, backed by the acquisition of 271 acres of land in Houston and Austin, along with extended power supply agreements totaling 285 megawatts. This move is a significant step in CleanSpark's strategy to diversify beyond Bitcoin mining into high-performance computing (HPC).
Why Texas?
Texas, much like Georgia--another key region for CleanSpark--offers a unique combination of energy and connectivity advantages. These include abundant power supply, access to natural gas pipelines, robust fiber connectivity, and a pro-business regulatory environment. Together, these factors make the Houston-Austin corridor an ideal location for next-gen data centers.
Scott Garrison, CleanSpark's Chief Development Officer and Executive Vice President, explains:
“We've evaluated our entire portfolio for AI suitability and identified Georgia as a strategic region for both conversion and expansion. Texas offers similar advantages, creating a balanced foundation for our infrastructure-first strategy.”
A Strategic Milestone
This expansion marks a pivotal moment in CleanSpark's evolution. The company's vertically integrated approach leverages its power and land assets to create long-term value.
Matt Schultz, CEO and Chairman, highlights the significance of this acquisition:
“Securing power and land at this scale in one of the nation's most attractive markets positions us to meet the growing demand for AI compute while continuing to deliver value for our shareholders. We remain leaders in Bitcoin mining, are exploring AI conversion opportunities, and are now entering Texas with a purpose-built AI campus.”
Houston-Austin: A Data Center Hotspot
The Houston-Austin corridor is emerging as a premier destination for AI data centers, thanks to its ample power resources, dense fiber connectivity, and supportive regulatory environment. This dual-market presence, combined with CleanSpark's established operations in Georgia, allows the company to optimize both operational efficiency and strategic growth.
Jeffrey Thomas, Senior Vice President of AI Data Centers at CleanSpark, adds:
“The Houston market is quickly becoming a top choice for next-gen data center development. This acquisition gives us the footprint and power capacity needed to deliver high-density compute solutions to global tech partners.”
Looking Ahead to 2027
CleanSpark has already begun work on the site's substation, securing key long-lead equipment. The company plans to develop the project in phases, with over 200MW of capacity expected to be operational within the first half of 2027.
This bold move underscores CleanSpark's commitment to innovation and its vision for a future that extends beyond Bitcoin mining into the broader realm of digital infrastructure.
