Up 14.5% since yesterday's close (as of 11:30 am ET), CleanSpark (CLSK +10.41%) is one top Bitcoin mining company investors are clearly starting to become bullish on once again.
NASDAQ: CLSK
Key Data Points
Most of today's move appears to be a continuation of strong price action which began on Wednesday, after the company reported robust earnings. With revenue more than doubling on a year-over-year basis, and earnings shifting from a substantial loss of over $145 million in the same quarter a year prior to a $365 million net income gain for this past quarter, there's a lot for investors to be fundamentally excited about.
Here's why I think the rally is continuing today, and what to make of CleanSpark as a potential winner among cryptocurrency miners at this time.

Solid earnings provide an excellent catalyst for investors to factor into their valuation models. However, the reality is that these numbers are backward-looking. Those attempting to model out where CLSK stock is likely headed from here will need to plug in key assumptions into their models, from forward growth rates to an ever-changing discount rate, both of which will impact the net present value calculation of where this stock should be trading today.
Given the large jump in both CleanSpark's top and bottom lines, there's solid rationale for investors to raise their probabilities that this growth can continue. That is, if CleanSpark's recent acquisition of 271 acres in Austin, construction of a new substation tied to AI-related operations, and ongoing AI infrastructure investments pan out.
Already a leader in providing high-performance compute to the Bitcoin network, if CleanSpark can effectively shift some of this excess computing power to higher-margin businesses, the potential for outsized profitability down the line could be substantial. We'll have to see how this aggressive diversification of revenue streams ultimately pans out. But for now, investors have good reason to remain bullish, and today's rally in CLSK stock makes sense.
