CleanSpark's stock rose 5.02% as it crossed above the 5-day SMA, reflecting positive investor sentiment following a significant land acquisition in Texas.
The company has acquired 447 acres in Brazoria County, Texas, to support its AI data center ambitions, marking its second land purchase in the area. This strategic move aims to enhance CleanSpark's infrastructure capabilities in high-performance computing, addressing the growing demand for AI computing. Additionally, Northland Capital Markets upgraded CleanSpark's rating, further boosting investor confidence in the company's growth potential.
This acquisition not only expands CleanSpark's operational capacity but also positions the company favorably in a competitive energy market, as it seeks to capitalize on the increasing demand for AI and compute resources.

Maxim initiated coverage of CleanSpark with a Buy rating and $22 price target. CleanSpark, traditionally focused on Bitcoin mining power assets, is expanding into AI data centers to meet rising infrastructure demand, the analyst tells investors in a research note. With a 285MW Texas site acquired in October 2025 and roughly 1.5GW of contracted power by 11/25, CleanSpark's near-term power availability positions it ahead of competitors facing lengthy approval delays, Maxim says.

The firm expects investors shift focus from the company's high performance compute optionality to its execution and power-secured artificial intelligence infrastructure. CleanSpark is transitioning from a "best-in-class" bitcoin miner into a "capital-disciplined" HPC platform, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Clear views the company as "one of the cleanest risk-adjusted exposures to AI infrastructure."
