Foresight News reports that Matt Schultz, CEO of Bitcoin mining company CleanSpark, stated at the "Bitcoin 2026" conference that after upgrading mining facilities into AI data centers, the per-megawatt construction cost increased from around $500,000 to $10-12 million, and staffing requirements rose from approximately one person per 10MW to about eight people. He noted that major cloud providers impose extremely strong lease terms; a delivery delay of just one day could potentially cost a whole year's contract revenue. He cautioned the industry not to focus solely on the short-term stock price surges brought by contract announcement news. CleanSpark initially absorbed local idle electricity through Bitcoin mining, helping power companies quickly monetize previously stranded capacity. After establishing partnerships, the company then transitions to developing AI data centers when appropriate. By adopting this strategy, CleanSpark defeated a trillion-dollar technology giant in the bid for the 100MW project in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Schultz pointed out that Bitcoin mining operations are interruptible and can fill power gaps during low-usage periods at AI data centers, which helps grids consume fluctuations in renewable energy, making Bitcoin miners ideal partners for utilities.
