Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract] |
ACQUISITIONS | 3. ACQUISITIONS Business Combination GRIID Infrastructure Inc. On October 30, 2024 (the “Effective Time”), the Company completed the acquisition of GRIID Infrastructure Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GRIID”), and Tron Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the event collectively known as the “GRIID Acquisition” or the “Merger”). The Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “GRIID Agreement”) entered into on June 26, 2024, provided that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the GRIID Agreement, (1) the Merger Sub will be merged with and into GRIID (the “Sub Merger”), with GRIID surviving and continuing as the surviving corporation in the Sub Merger, and, (2) at the Effective Time of the Sub Merger, holders of each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of GRIID (“GRIID Common Stock”) would receive, in exchange for each share of GRIID Common Stock held immediately prior to the Merger (other than certain excluded shares), that number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company’s common stock (“Company Common Stock”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Merger Consideration (as defined in the GRIID Agreement) by the total number of shares of GRIID Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the closing date of the Merger (the “Exchange Ratio”). Upon closing, the Company issued 5,031,221 shares of Company Common Stock on October 30, 2024 with a $12.06 per common share for a total value of $60,677. Pursuant to the GRIID Agreement, the Exchange Ratio determined the total number of shares issued, which includes the conversion of most GRIID restricted stock units and GRIID options into Company Common Stock. Options that had an exercise price per share of GRIID Common Stock that was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration Value were canceled for no consideration. GRIID warrants outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically converted into warrants to purchase an aggregate of 960,395 shares of Company Common Stock, at an exercise price of $165.24 per share of Company Common Stock (the “Public Warrants”), and GRIID’s private warrants were converted or assumed. Pursuant to the GRIID Agreement, three types of warrants were issued: (1) Public Warrants, which were classed as equity warrants, (2) private warrants classed as liability warrants (the "Private Warrants"), and (3) warrants related to an agreement with GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (the “GEM Warrants”), which agreement had been established in a previous acquisition and also classed as liability warrants (both subject to quarterly assessment). The private warrants and GEM Warrants are classed as liability warrants. The total number of warrants issued was 22,803,726, with a total value of $6,097 as part of consideration transferred. Concurrent with the GRIID Agreement, the Company and GRIID entered into a senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “GRIID Credit Agreement”) and a co-location mining service agreement (the “Hosting Agreement”) on June 26, 2024. See Note 5 - Note Receivable for more information on the GRIID Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Hosting Agreement, GRIID hosted certain of the Company’s bitcoin mining equipment at GRIID facilities for a fee defined in the Hosting Agreement. The Hosting Agreement had an initial service term of one year with seven additional renewal terms, each for six months. As of October 30, 2024, the Company consolidated the activities of GRIID including the GRIID Credit Agreement and balances of receivables and payables under the Hosting Agreement, which effectively settled and is considered as additional purchase consideration and eliminates on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The GRIID Acquisition enhances the Company’s bitcoin mining capacity, particularly in Tennessee, where it plans to expand in the coming years. The GRIID Merger also broadens the Company’s operational footprint within the Tennessee Valley Authority service territory, offering greater geographic and power supply diversification. Goodwill recognized related to the preliminary purchase price represents the future economic benefits arising from planned operational synergies, expanded geographic space, operational facilities and data centers, and a bitcoin mining workforce. The results of GRIID have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and from the date of acquisition. The associated goodwill has been included in the Company’s sole reportable segment, which is the bitcoin mining segment. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. No deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected in relation to this amount. On October 30, 2024, CleanSpark completed the GRIID Acquisition for a total preliminary purchase consideration of $128,247, which is comprised of the following:
($ in thousands, except price per share) |  | GRIID |
Shares of CleanSpark common stock issued |  |  | 5,031 |
Closing price per share of CleanSpark common stock on October 30, 2024 |  | $ | 12.06 |
Fair value of CleanSpark common share issued as a portion of purchase price |  | $ | 60,677 |
Fair value of CleanSpark warrants issued as a portion of purchase price |  |  | 6,097 |
Fair value of equity portion of purchase price |  |  | 66,774 |
Cash consideration |  |  | 1 |
Settlement of amounts payable by Company to GRIID under Hosting Agreement |  |  | (1,164 | )

Settlement of preexisting relationship, including interest, as a portion of purchase price |  |  | 61,472 |
Preliminary purchase price |  | $ | 128,247 |
The amounts in the table below represent the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary respective estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Certain of the amounts are subject to revision during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the provisional values, which may include other long-term assets, deferred taxes, income tax payables, and other estimates, during the measurement period will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The excess purchase price over the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The preliminary net assets acquired as of the acquisition date are presented as follows:
($ in thousands) |  | Allocation as of October 30, 2024 |
Tangible assets |  |  |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,089 |
Restricted cash |  |  | 323 |
Accounts receivable |  |  | 172 |
Prepaid expense and other current assets |  |  | 193 |

Other liabilities |  |  | 2,922 |
Total liabilities assumed |  |  | 25,924 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 128,247 |
The preliminary purchase price for GRIID has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the Company’s best estimates and assumptions using the information available as of the acquisition date and throughout measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The provisional measurements of identifiable assets and liabilities, and the resulting goodwill related to the acquisition are subject to adjustments in subsequent periods as the Company finalizes its purchase price allocation, including the third-party valuation. This also includes finalizing the review and valuation of deferred income taxes and the federal and state accrued tax provisions. Actual values may differ (possibly materially) when final information becomes available that differs from current estimates. The Company believes that information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The Company recognized merger costs of $396 related to the acquisition of GRIID, consisting primarily of legal fees, during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The condensed consolidated financial statements includes these costs in professional fees account. Consolidated revenues generated from the locations acquired from GRIID from the acquisition date through December 31, 2024 were $10,572. It is impracticable to determine the earnings recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month period ended December 31, 2024 as we initiated the integration of a substantial portion of GRIID into our ongoing operations during the current period. Unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of CleanSpark and GRIID, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on October 1, 2023 or of results that may occur in the future. The following unaudited pro forma information for the three month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 combines the historical results of CleanSpark and GRIID, as converted to U.S. GAAP, for the respective periods:
|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | December 31, 2024 |  |  | December 31, 2023 |
Pro forma revenue |  | $ | 162,306 |  |  | $ | 79,340 |
Pro forma net income from continuing operations |  |  | 237,264 |  |  |  | 43,469 |
We based the foregoing pro forma results on estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to purchase accounting.
