Bitcoin miner CleanSpark is growing its mining capacity in the United States with the purchase of 20,000 new Antminer S19j Pro+ units for $43.6 million. The acquisition is expected to boost the company\u2019s computing power by 37% and brings the total number of miners purchased during the bear market to 46,500 units.<\/p>\n
According to a statement on Feb. 16, CleanSpark will pay<\/a> $32.3 million for the machines after applying coupons at a 25% discount or a total price per terahash (TH) of approximately $13.25. The Pro+ rigs are 22% more productive than their previous models and are planned to be delivered in batches between March and May. <\/p>\n The company is leveraging the market\u2019s lower rig prices to boost its mining capacity, while Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC<\/a>) price rebounds. According<\/a> to data from Hashrate Index, the current price per TH of ASICs\u00a0of the same Bitcoin mining\u00a0efficiency are currently at $15.09, well below the $90.72 seen 12 months ago. CleanSpark said the Antminer S19j Pro+ model offers a better return on investment compared to the same ASIC-generation machines. <\/p>\n \u201cAfter they are fully operational, they are expected to add 2.44 EH\/s to CleanSpark\u2019s existing 6.6 EH\/s of bitcoin mining computing power (for a total of 9 EH\/s), constituting a 37% increase,\u201d noted the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
