<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus is part of an automatic shelf registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the
SEC, as a &#147;well-known seasoned issuer&#148; as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, using a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell
securities from time to time and in one or more offerings as described in this prospectus. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time that we offer and sell securities, we will provide a
prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that
may contain material information relating to these offerings. The prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency
between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. However, no prospectus supplement will offer a
security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness. This prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, includes all
material information relating to the offering of securities under this prospectus. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement (and any applicable free writing
prospectuses), the information and documents incorporated herein by reference and the additional information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.&#148; </P>

authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectuses prepared by
or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We will not make an offer to sell these securities in any
jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on its respective cover, that the
information appearing in any applicable free writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date of that free writing prospectus, and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by
reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. This prospectus incorporates by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus
may contain and incorporate by reference, market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we do not
guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information. In addition, the market and industry data and forecasts that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any

Factors&#148; contained in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Accordingly,
investors should not place undue reliance on this information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we refer to &#147;CleanSpark, Inc.,&#148; &#147;we,&#148;

early 2024. We do not currently host miners for any other companies. A partner in Massena, NY hosts 50 MW for us. We design our proprietary infrastructure to responsibly support bitcoin, the world&#146;s most important digital commodity and an
essential tool for financial independence and inclusion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Through CleanSpark and our wholly owned subsidiaries, we have operated in the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act and Section&nbsp;21E of the Exchange Act about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this document and the
materials accompanying this document are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future events. Frequently, but not always, forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the future tense and by
words such as &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;intends,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;would,&#148; &#147;projects,&#148; &#147;continues,&#148; &#147;estimates&#148; or
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry&#146;s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the important factors incorporated by
reference into this prospectus from our most recent Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Form&nbsp;10-Q</FONT> and Current Reports on <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Form&nbsp;8-K,</FONT> and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act and in our other filings with the SEC, that may cause
our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some
of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk
factors and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. </P>

of any series of our preferred stock, including any series of preferred stock that our board of directors may designate in the future. </P>

contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations. These &#147;control share&#148; laws provide generally that any person that acquires a
&#147;controlling interest&#148; in certain Nevada corporations may be denied voting rights, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elect to restore such voting rights. These laws will apply to us as of a particular
date if we were to have 200 or more stockholders of record (at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger at all times during the 90 days immediately preceding that date) and do business in the State of Nevada directly
or through an affiliated corporation, unless our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or amended and restated bylaws in effect on the tenth day after the acquisition of a controlling interest provide otherwise. These laws provide that a
person acquires a &#147;controlling interest&#148; whenever a person acquires shares of a subject corporation that, but for the application of these provisions of the NRS, would enable that person to exercise
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(1)&nbsp;one-fifth</FONT> or more, but less than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third,</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(2)&nbsp;one-third</FONT> or more, but less than a majority, or (3)&nbsp;a majority
or more of all of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. Once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days immediately
preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become &#147;control shares&#148; to which the voting restrictions described above apply. These laws may have a chilling effect on certain
transactions if our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or amended and restated bylaws are not timely amended to provide that these provisions do not apply to us or to an acquisition of a controlling interest, or if our disinterested
stockholders do not confer voting rights in the control shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nevada&#146;s &#147;combinations with interested stockholders&#148;

for two years after such person first becomes an &#147;interested stockholder&#148; unless the corporation&#146;s board of directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an &#147;interested stockholder&#148;) in
advance, or unless the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation&#146;s voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Furthermore, in the absence of
prior approval certain restrictions may apply even after such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-year</FONT> period. For purposes of these statutes, an &#147;interested stockholder&#148; is any person who is (1)&nbsp;the beneficial owner, directly
or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2)&nbsp;an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term &#147;combination&#148; is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between a corporation and an
&#147;interested stockholder&#148;. These laws generally apply to Nevada corporations with 200 or more stockholders of record. However, a Nevada corporation may elect in its articles of incorporation not to be governed by these particular laws, but
if such election is not made in the corporation&#146;s original articles of incorporation, the amendment (1)&nbsp;must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the
corporation not beneficially owned by interested stockholders or their affiliates and associates, and (2)&nbsp;is not effective until 18 months after the vote approving the amendment and does not apply to any combination with a person who first
became an interested stockholder on or before the effective date of the amendment. We have not made such an election in our original articles of incorporation and we have not amended our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to so elect.

allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a bitcoin mining company. We independently own and operate five data centers in Georgia for a total developed capacity of 230 megawatts
(&#147;MW&#148;). We are developing an additional 150 MW at our data center in Sandersville, GA, which is expected to energize in early 2024. We do not currently host miners for any other companies. A partner in Massena, NY hosts 50 MW for us. We
design our proprietary infrastructure to responsibly support bitcoin, the world&#146;s most important digital commodity and an essential tool for financial independence and inclusion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Through CleanSpark and our wholly owned subsidiaries, we have operated in the bitcoin mining sector since December 2020. From March 2014 to
June&nbsp;30, 2022, we provided advanced energy technology solutions to commercial and residential customers to solve modern energy challenges in the alternative energy sector. As of June&nbsp;30, 2022, we discontinued our energy operations due to
our strategic decision to strictly focus on our bitcoin mining operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Corporate Information </B></P>

should consider carefully the risks described below and discussed under the section captioned &#147;Risk Factors&#148; contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K,</FONT> which is incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement, and other information included in any document that we file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement that is incorporated by reference herein, as well as other information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. If any of the following events or any of the events described in any such other document actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects
or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business and

in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares
as a result of sales made at share prices lower than the prices they paid. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The actual number of shares we will issue under the sales agreement, at

we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to Wainwright at any time throughout the term of the sales agreement. The number of shares that are sold by Wainwright after delivering a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of our
common stock during the sales period and limits we set with Wainwright. Because the price per share of each share sold in this offering will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this
stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued. As of January&nbsp;5, 2024, we had 88,725,727 authorized but unissued shares of common stock (less the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or

operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Specifically, the trading price of our common stock has already been correlated, and, in the future, as we continue to expand our bitcoin
mining business, may be increasingly correlated, to the trading prices of bitcoin. The stocks of bitcoin mining companies have shown volatility relative to bitcoin. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency market prices, which have historically been
volatile and are impacted by a variety of factors (including those discussed herein), are determined primarily by using data from various exchanges, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT>
markets and derivative platforms. While we had no direct exposure to the failure of FTX Trading Ltd. (&#147;FTX&#148;), the failure or insolvency of large exchanges like FTX may cause the price of bitcoin to fall and decrease confidence in the
ecosystem, which could negatively impact our stock price. Furthermore, such prices may be subject to factors such as those that impact commodities, more so than business activities, which could be subjected to additional influence from fraudulent or
illegitimate actors, real or perceived scarcity, and political, economic, regulatory or other conditions. Pricing may be the result of, and may continue to result in, speculation regarding future appreciation in the value of bitcoin, or our share
price, inflating and making their market prices more volatile. For example, the closing sales price of our common stock on September&nbsp;30, 2022 was $3.18 per share and the closing price of bitcoin was $19,426 and, as of September&nbsp;30, 2023,
the closing sales price of our common stock was $3.81 per share, and the closing price of bitcoin was $26,961. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the stock
markets in general have often experienced volatility, including in the wake of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19,</FONT> that has sometimes been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad
market fluctuations have caused, and may continue to cause, the trading price of our common stock to decline. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our
ability to access capital, on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects, and on the market price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company&#146;s
securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type may be expensive to defend and may divert our management&#146;s
attention and resources from the operation of our business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have, and, in the future, we may

statutory exceptions and unless the articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto (in each case filed on or after October&nbsp;1, 2003) provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to a corporation
or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless the presumption established by the business judgment rule codified in NRS 78.138(3) has been rebutted
and it is proven that: (i)&nbsp;the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (ii)&nbsp;the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Our
amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, provide that directors shall have no liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, except for acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct by the director, or a knowing violation of law by the director, or for conduct violating NRS 78.138(7), or for any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director
is not legally entitled. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">NRS 78.7502 permits a corporation to indemnify, pursuant to that statutory provision, a present or former
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or of another entity or enterprise for which such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the corporation, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any

respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, no
indemnification pursuant to NRS&nbsp;78.7502 may be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for
amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the
case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced to a director or officer by the
corporation in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, may be made by a corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances.
Such determination must be made (1)&nbsp;by the stockholders, (2)&nbsp;by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (3)&nbsp;if a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4)&nbsp;if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding
cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. NRS 78.751 further provides that indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses
may be entitled under our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in the person&#146;s official capacity or an action in
another capacity while holding office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer finally adjudged by a court of
competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of any appeals, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and such misconduct, fraud or violation was material to the cause of action. Our amended and restated articles of
incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification substantially similar to that provided under the statutory indemnification mechanisms provided under NRS 78.7502. </P>

Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Manager shall be deemed to be equal to the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid
hereunder as determined by this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Manager on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The
