CleanSpark Announces 20-Year Data Center Lease with Major Tech Tenant
What Happened
CleanSpark, Inc. announced on July 14, 2026 (filed Form 8‑K) that it executed an infrastructure lease on July 10, 2026 with a leading global technology company (described as having a high investment‑grade credit profile). The Lease covers data center infrastructure at CleanSpark’s Sandersville, Georgia campus to support 175 megawatts of critical IT load. The agreement is a 20‑year triple‑net lease with annual escalators and two tenant options to extend for five years each. The tenant also signed a letter of intent and exclusivity arrangement covering 718 acres of CleanSpark’s Texas portfolio with up to 885 megawatts of secured and planned power capacity.
Key Details
- Lease execution date: July 10, 2026; press release furnished July 14, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1).
- Capacity: 175 MW of critical IT load at Sandersville, GA; Texas LOI/exclusivity covers up to 885 MW on 718 acres.
- Lease terms: 20‑year initial term, two 5‑year extension options, triple‑net structure, annual rent escalators.
- Conditions: CleanSpark must meet financing, construction and delivery milestones; missed milestones can trigger rent abatements or lease termination.
Why It Matters
This lease potentially provides long‑term, stable revenue and offloads many operating expenses to a creditworthy tenant because it is triple‑net and spans two decades. The 175 MW commitment materially links a large portion of Sandersville capacity to a single, long‑term customer, while the Texas LOI signals potential for substantially more secured/planned capacity (up to 885 MW). However, the agreement depends on CleanSpark meeting financing and construction milestones—failure to meet them could reduce near‑term cash flow via abatements or even lead to termination—so investors should watch milestone progress, related financing updates, and how the company recognizes future revenue.
