The contract may reach as much as $11.6 billion in revenue if two five-year extension options are exercised, CleanSpark said in a statement on Tuesday.\n\nThe tenant will deploy infrastructure at Sandersville dedicated to a range of computing workloads, the Nevada-based company said. The tenant has also signed a letter of intent and exclusivity arrangement covering CleanSpark's entire Texas portfolio of 718 acres with up to 885 megawatts of secured and planned power capacity.\n\nCleanSpark is among a growing number of public Bitcoin mining companies that are transitioning to data-center operators to support artificial intelligence applications. It is the first data-center lease for the company after it announced its pivot from a pure-play Bitcoin miner in October.\n\nSoaring demand for AI computing power has made data centers sought-after resources. Former top Bitcoin miners such as TeraWulf and Cipher Digital have seen their share prices surge after landing hosting contracts with tech giants such as Microsoft Corp.\n\nMost Read from Bloomberg Businessweek\n\n-\n[Credit Card Holders Are Using 'Friendly Fraud' to Get Back at Retailers](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-13/credit-card-holders-are-using-friendly-fraud-to-get-back-at-retailers?utm_campaign=bw&utm_medium=distro&utm_source=yahooUS) -\n[The Shattering of the Middle East's Most Unlikely Friendship](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-07-10/israel-palestine-conflict-shatters-unlikely-friendship-that-bridged-borders?utm_campaign=bw&utm_medium=distro&utm_source=yahooUS) -\n[Washington Is Looking to Keep China From Training Its AI on US Models](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-13/anthropic-openai-warnings-prompt-distillation-debate-in-dc?utm_campaign=bw&utm_medium=distro&utm_source=yahooUS)\n\n©2026 Bloomberg L.P.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cleanspark-agrees-20-year-data-center-lease-for-6-6-billion", "canonical_source": "https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/cleanspark-agrees-20-data-center-100000166.html", "published_at": "2026-07-14 10:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-14 11:20:53.979783+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-startups"], "entities": ["CleanSpark Inc.", "Sandersville", "Georgia", "TeraWulf", "Cipher Digital", "Microsoft Corp."], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cleanspark-agrees-20-year-data-center-lease-for-6-6-billion", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cleanspark-agrees-20-year-data-center-lease-for-6-6-billion.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cleanspark-agrees-20-year-data-center-lease-for-6-6-billion.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cleanspark-agrees-20-year-data-center-lease-for-6-6-billion.jsonld"}}
