CleanSpark is trading 4.34% up at $12.02, moving with bitcoin-mining peers after Riot Platforms announced a $9.1 billion, 20-year AI data-center contract with Anthropic.
- Bitcoin is only 0.49% higher since the August 11 close, so crypto’s move alone does not explain CleanSpark’s larger gain.
- Recent Q3 earnings misses and analyst forecast reductions remain a negative company backdrop.
