Major growth stories are unfolding in the bitcoin mining sector, with companies like IREN, <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/cleanspark-doubles-down-on-bitcoin-mining-with-55m-expansion/">CleanSpark</a> (CLSK), <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/cipher-mining-thrives-eyes-increased-market-share/">Cipher</a> Mining (CIFR), and <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/terawulfs-game-changing-move-75m-investment-in-next-gen-bitcoin-miners/">TeraWulf</a> (WULF) making significant strides in expanding their mining capacities and leveraging low-cost power sources. IREN, in particular, has shown remarkable progress, achieving a <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/bitcoin-miners-set-for-a-tough-ride-as-2024-halving-nears-jp-morgan/">hash rate</a> of 9.41 EH/s by May, marking a 66.84% year-to-date increase from January's 5.64 EH/s, according to <a href="https://x.com/Charge_Stack/status/1803611795069743571">Charge_Stack</a>. 
Industry analyst D.R. Lewis highlighted the aggressive expansion plans of these firms, emphasizing IREN’s goal to triple its capacity to 30 EH/s in the next 190 days and quadruple to 40 EH/s within a year. IREN is currently building to 630 MW at a cost of 3.6 cents per kWh with an efficiency of 15.5 J/TH. This expansion is bolstered by a favorable share structure and debt-free status. 
CleanSpark, another significant player, is targeting 50 EH/s, powered by a 580 MW capacity from its Wyoming acquisition and the Sandersville site. CLSK benefits from a wholesale power cost of 2.9 cents per kWh. Cipher Mining is expanding to 588 MW at 2.7 cents per kWh and 22 J/TH efficiency, while TeraWulf is growing to 595 MW at 3.5 cents per kWh and 22 J/TH efficiency. These expansions are supported by access to low-cost renewable energy and vertically integrated operations, ensuring sustainable growth. 
Lewis, who has positioned IREN, CLSK, CIFR, and WULF as his top investments, notes that these companies are undervalued by the market despite their large-scale expansion plans. Each firm’s focus on low-cost power and efficient operations positions them well for the anticipated surge in the bitcoin mining sector over the next 12-18 months.
