- Power Supply Impact: The winter storm causing power outages in Tennessee, where CleanSpark has a significant presence, has directly affected operations, heightening investor anxiety.
- Increased Competition: Nvidia's $2 billion investment in CoreWeave may intensify competitive pressures in the AI infrastructure market, raising doubts about CleanSpark's future profitability among investors.
