CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLSK) announced on September 25, 2026, that its wholly owned subsidiary, CSDC Finance I, LLC, has officially closed its $2.276 billion offering of 7.875% senior secured notes due 2031. The capital raise is earmarked to fund the build-out of its flagship Sandersville facility.
The notes were priced at 98.500% of their principal amount in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. While this capital is earmarked to fund the build-out of its flagship Sandersville facility, the debt comes at a steep cost.
Security Structure and Guarantee
The notes and related guarantee will be secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of the issuer and CSRE Properties Sandersville, LLC, other than certain excluded property, as well as all equity interests of the issuer held by CSDC Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the direct parent of the issuer. CleanSpark will also provide a customary completion guarantee for the Sandersville Facility, under which it will fund the issuer as necessary to ensure timely completion if note proceeds prove insufficient.
Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds from the offering are directed toward three specific purposes related to the Sandersville data center campus.
| Purpose | Details |
|---|---|
| Construction | Finance remaining cost of Sandersville Facility build-out |
| Reimbursement | Reimburse prior equity contributions made for the facility |
| Reserves | Fund debt service reserves |
Market Context and Technicals
The Nasdaq rose 0.52% and the S&P 500 gained 0.58% on Friday, with Technology leading sectors up 0.82%, making CLSK’s decline stand out. From a trend perspective, CLSK is holding a constructive intermediate setup: it is trading about 4.7% above its 20-day SMA ($13.16) and about 5.1% above its 50-day SMA ($13.11), with the 20-day SMA remaining above the 50-day SMA (a bullish alignment). However, price is still about 2.8% below the 100-day SMA ($14.18), suggesting rallies have recently struggled to fully reclaim the longer swing trend.
Momentum indicators show an RSI of 53.77, suggesting neutral territory consistent with a stock that is chopping rather than trending hard. The moving-average structure shows improvement after the golden cross in June, but traders will watch whether this pullback turns into another lower high after the recent swing high in July.
Key technical levels include:
- Resistance: $15.50, a nearby pivot area where rebounds can stall
- Support: $11.50, a prior demand zone serving as a key line in the sand for the current range
Project Updates and Analyst Outlook
Construction at the Sandersville data center campus is progressing, backed by $6.6 billion in contracted revenue. ERCOT conditionally classified 585 megawatts of contracted capacity for batch zero baseload designation and 300 megawatts for batch zero studied load designation.

How might the 7.875% interest rate on the new debt impact CleanSpark's cash flow sustainability if Bitcoin mining difficulty increases significantly before the Sandersville facility reaches full capacity?
What are the potential regulatory or grid stability implications for ERCOT's conditional classification of CleanSpark's 585 MW baseload capacity, and could this designation change prior to the facility's completion?
Given that CLSK is trading below its 100-day SMA despite bullish short-term moving averages, how might the upcoming November earnings report influence whether the stock reclaims this long-term trend line?
