CleanSpark reported a 30.5% year-over-year income decline and a $497.2 million swing from revenue to loss in its fiscal third-quarter outcomes. The deterioration provides stress to the Bitcoin miner’s steadiness sheet earlier than its Sandersville AI lease can contribute, with the primary phased deliveries not anticipated till the fourth quarter of 2027.
Income fell to $138.0 million from $198.6 million for the three months ended June 30. Over the identical interval, a $257.4 million revenue turned a $239.8 million loss.
Two Bitcoin valuation traces moved sharply in the other way from a 12 months earlier. CleanSpark’s 10-Q exhibits {that a} $268.7 million Bitcoin fair-value acquire turned a $116.3 million loss, a $384.9 million shift. A separate $31.4 million acquire on Bitcoin collateral turned a $16.5 million loss, a $47.9 million shift.
Collectively, these modifications totaled $432.8 million, about 87% of the net-income reversal in magnitude. The comparability will not be an entire bridge to internet earnings as a result of the valuation traces are pre-tax and different bills and tax objects additionally modified.
The cash-flow assertion was much less extreme than the earnings assertion, although not benign. CleanSpark used $409.3 million in working money through the first 9 months of its fiscal 12 months.

These figures don’t set up a direct liquidity disaster. They do present why Sandersville’s financing stays consequential.
Administration stated the venture’s “anticipated fairness portion” was totally funded. The assertion coated solely that anticipated fairness slice. The identical quarterly submitting says CleanSpark nonetheless wants substantial further capital and expects vital added indebtedness, doubtlessly alongside fairness or equity-linked financing. Lengthy-term debt was already $1.788 billion at March 31 and $1.780 billion at June 30, so considerably all the present steadiness predated the July lease.
CleanSpark expects phased deliveries beneath the 175-megawatt, 20-year lease to start in This autumn 2027. It has not disclosed the precise rent-commencement schedule or full-delivery timing. The earnings replace resolves one anticipated fairness contribution, however not the broader building financing or the interval by which decrease mining income and money use should carry the enterprise earlier than Sandersville begins producing lease.
