As part of the agreement, <a href="https://coingape.com/just-in-bitcoin-miner-cleanspark-gears-up-for-2024-with-in-house-trading-desk/">CleanSpark</a> will take over all the issued and outstanding common stock of GRIID, thus incorporating GRIID’s present debt and asset profile into CleanSpark’s. This comprises a key hosting agreement that enables CleanSpark to get an instant control of 20 MW of power. Under the deal’s financial arrangement, CleanSpark will issue its common stock to the GRIID stockholders depending on the exchange ratio that was set before the prevailing market conditions. 
CleanSpark’s CEO, Zach Bradford, was positive about the strategic aspects of the merger, noting that the acquisition will help CleanSpark achieve its growth plans while GRIID has operational assets. 
Bradford added, 
<blockquote>
 “This integration does not only serve to expand the operational reach of the company but it also amplifies our advocacy on the importance of environment friendly mining.” 
</blockquote> 
In addition to supporting the integration, CleanSpark has <a rel="nofollow" href="https://coingapehq.slack.com/archives/C062ACL1NTC/p1719499442988339">provided</a> a $5 million working capital loan and a $50. 9 million bridge loan to GRIID.

CleanSpark has recently announced that it has entered into a deal to buy up to 160,000 <a href="https://coingape.com/cleanspark-strikes-deal-for-160000-bitmain-s21-miners-before-commencing-in-house-trading/">Bitmain S21 miners</a> to support its growth plan effectively. This major upgrade is anticipated to increase CleanSpark’s hashrate in the business of cryptocurrency mining to make it more competitive. The acquisition of the 60,000 units initially will add an estimated 12 EH/s to its hashing power with possibilities of buying more before the end of the year. 
Parallel to the GRIID acquisition, the firm has also signed deals to purchase five turnkey sites in Georgia. These sites with a capacity of 8MW – 15MW in total, 60MW is a part of the company’s strategy to achieve an operational hashrate of more than 20 EH/s in the middle of this year. The addition of these sites enhances CleanSpark’s mining activities and helps maintain grid reliability and community relations. 
Additionally, the company has ambitious plans in Tennessee, aiming to exceed 100 megawatts of capacity by the end of this year, reach 200 megawatts by 2025, and surpass 400 megawatts by 2026.&nbsp;
