&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to maintain profitability in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the availability of financing opportunities, risks associated with economic conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•bitcoin's halving;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•risks relating to our in-house function to trade, for our own account, the bitcoin we have mined, and hedge risk relating to our bitcoin holdings; and

Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

**CLEANSPARK, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited, $ in thousands, except share, per share and per bitcoin amounts)**

**1. ORGANIZATION** 

CleanSpark, Inc. (the "Company") is a data center developer and infrastructure operator that independently owns, leases, and operates data center facilities. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's portfolio includes data centers located in Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Wyoming, with additional properties under development within South Dakota and Texas.

The Company does not currently host miners for any other companies. The Company designs its infrastructure to responsibly secure and support the bitcoin network, the world's most recognized digital commodity.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

<u>Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation</u> 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on November 25, 2025 (the "Form 10-K").

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, and the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities. The Company has a sole reportable segment which is the bitcoin mining segment.

There were no changes to the Company's most significant estimates and assumptions, significant accounting policies, or recent accounting pronouncements that were disclosed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Form 10-K other than as discussed below.

<u>Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements</u>

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances existing income tax disclosure requirements, including requiring greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and expects to adopt the guidance in its annual report for the current fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

<u>Segment reporting</u>

The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment focused on bitcoin mining. The Company's Chief Executive Officer serves as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and uses consolidated net (loss) income as the measure of segment (loss) income. The CODM uses consolidated net (loss) income, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income, to evaluate the Company's overall profitability and performance, to determine the volume and timing of bitcoin mining to be performed, to allocate and reallocate resources, including miner purchases and expansion projects, and to focus investment where long-term profitability appears most viable.

------

The CODM is regularly provided with information on certain significant segment expenses, including Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), Professional fees, Payroll expenses, General and administrative expenses, Depreciation and amortization, and Loss (gain) on fair value of bitcoin, net. These significant segment expenses are consistent with those presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income, and depreciation expense attributable to miners is disclosed in Note 7 - Property and Equipment. The measure of the Company's segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. Stock-based compensation is consistent with the amounts presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. All of the Company's long-lived assets are in the United States. Information about the Company's revenue and vendor concentrations is included in Note 14 - Revenue and Vendor Concentrations.

<u>Accrued liabilities</u>

The Company records accruals for expenses that have been incurred but not yet invoiced or paid as of each balance sheet date. These accruals are included within current liabilities and represent estimates of obligations for which the timing or amount of payment is uncertain. Accrued liabilities primarily consist of indirect tax exposures, payroll and related benefits, operating expenses, and other miscellaneous accruals arising in the ordinary course of business.

The following table summarizes the composition of the Company's accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets indicated:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in thousands)** | **March 31,<br>2026** | **September 30,<br>2025** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Indirect tax contingencies | $65167 | $64481 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Accrued operating expenses | 16243 | 30562 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Accrued payroll expenses | 11370 | 15530 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Indirect tax accruals | 5812 | 6017 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other accrued liabilities | 2939 | 954 |
| **Accrued liabilities** | $101531 | $117544 |

<u>(Loss) income per share</u>

The Company reports (loss) income per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, *Earnings Per Share*, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share.

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, vesting of restricted stock, and warrants are computed using the treasury stock method. Potential shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes and Series A preferred stock are computed using the if-converted method.

------

Provided below is the (loss) income per share calculation for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted | $(1.52) | $(0.49) | $(2.86) | $0.34 |

---

Convertible senior notes are reflected in diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method when doing so is dilutive, meaning the additional shares and related interest add-back reduce earnings per share; otherwise, they are excluded as antidilutive. The un-weighted number of shares excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are noted in the table below. Such shares were excluded as their assumed conversion would have been antidilutive or, for preferred stock, because the change-in-control conversion contingency was not satisfied.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 | Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes in active exchange markets involving identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable assets or liabilities. |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity's own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. |

---

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term portion of loan payable are Level 1 and approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying amount of the Company's long-term interest-bearing portion of loan payable is also stated at fair value since the stated rate of interest approximates market rates available to the Company for a similar duration. The fair values of warrant liabilities were determined based on Black Scholes option-pricing model using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the DAM (as defined below) derivative liabilities, as defined in Note 6 - Investments and Derivatives, were also determined based on Black Scholes option-pricing model but utilized historical volatility of bitcoin as an input which is deemed to be a Level 3 input.

The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

<sup>(2)</sup> Includes Bitcoin - current of $674,447 and Bitcoin - noncurrent of $138,774 as presented within Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026.

The Company's bitcoin holdings shown in this note are not subject to rehypothecation and do not serve as collateral for any existing loans or agreements (see Note 5 - Receivable from Bitcoin Collateral). As of March 31, 2026, the Company held no other crypto assets; approximately 96.6% of its bitcoin is held in cold storage and 3.4% is held in hot wallets.

The Company recognized cumulative realized gains from dispositions of bitcoin of $0 and $2,209 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**5. RECEIVABLE FROM BITCOIN COLLATERAL**

Under the terms of certain arrangements, the Company gives away the right to direct the use of bitcoin it has posted as collateral but retains the right to the economic benefits of those bitcoin. In such cases, where control of the collateralized bitcoin has been transferred, the Company records a note receivable equivalent to the fair value of the posted bitcoin. That receivable is reclassified into current bitcoin upon repayment or release of the collateral.

For arrangements that involve transfer of control, any posted bitcoin collateral may relate to bitcoin-backed lines of credit (see Note 9 - Indebtedness) and derivative trading relationships with certain counterparties. Lenders and derivative counterparties serve as custodians of collateral posted under these arrangements. The bitcoin collateral posted may fluctuate during the reporting period and may be returned to our control when positions are closed. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no bitcoin posted as collateral under its bitcoin-backed line of credit arrangements. The Company expects to continue trading with its counterparties in the normal course of operations and may be required to post collateral in connection with such transactions (see Note 6 - Investments and Derivatives).

------

The portion of collateral subject to derecognition is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Receivable from bitcoin collateral. At March 31, 2026, the Company reported Receivable from bitcoin collateral related to 1,641 bitcoin with a fair value of $111,940, compared to 2,583 bitcoin with a fair value of $294,648 posted as of September 30, 2025. At March 31, 2026, all of the bitcoin included in Receivable from bitcoin collateral was a result of bitcoin posted to derivative trading counterparties.

The receivable is initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in (Loss) gain on bitcoin collateral within Other (expense) income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a loss of $38,838 and $142,458 related to bitcoin collateral, respectively. The Company recognized $0 of gains or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, but recognized a gain of $42,493 for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

**6. INVESTMENTS AND DERIVATIVES**

The Company holds investment and derivative assets and liabilities. The Company has not designated any derivatives as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The Company's bitcoin-linked derivative activities undertaken as part of its broader bitcoin treasury management strategy are referred to collectively as "Digital Asset Management" ("DAM"). The following table presents the carrying value of all investments and derivative instruments, aside from the Company's warrant liability, including balances as of September 30, 2025 and activity during the period ended March 31, 2026:

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Balance rows presented represent assets if positive or liabilities if negative.

Derivative contracts are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value and settlements recognized in earnings in the period in which they occur. The Company evaluates all financing and service agreements for potential embedded derivative features that may require bifurcation.

All derivative instruments are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and are classified as current or noncurrent based on the expected timing of settlement. Gains and losses related to a derivative executed as part of the Company's bitcoin treasury management strategy, both realized and unrealized, are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income within (Loss) gain on derivative securities, net within Other (expense) income.

**Bitcoin treasury derivatives**

The Company enters into bitcoin-linked derivative contracts to economically hedge the volatility of bitcoin prices and to generate liquidity in support of core operating activities. These derivatives are referred to as DAM Derivatives. These contracts serve as a strategic alternative to selling bitcoin directly and are intended to monetize the Company's bitcoin holdings while managing exposure to adverse price movements. The types of derivatives utilized for this purpose may include bitcoin forward, options, and other structured instruments. These contracts are typically short-term in nature and may be cash-settled or settled in-kind.

------

During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company engaged in calls, puts, and forward contracts. The contracts that were settled through physical delivery of bitcoin resulted in cash proceeds that are reported within the Proceeds from sale of bitcoin and option settlement line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company recognized a total gain, net, from the DAM activity of $6,630 during the same period which is included in (Loss) gain on derivative securities, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. As of March 31, 2026 the Company held $3,786 of derivative liabilities with respect to its call and put contracts. The Company maintains a limited amount of bitcoin and cash collateral with these organizations in connection with such transactions. See Note 5 - Receivable from Bitcoin Collateral for further discussion related to bitcoin posted for collateral.

During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a new miner procurement arrangement with Bitmain that included a contractual option to repurchase an equivalent amount of bitcoin at a fixed U.S. dollar price. This repurchase right was accounted for as a derivative and presented above as Bitmain Derivative and was recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Bitmain option is a bitcoin-linked derivative but was not entered into as part of the Company's DAM strategy and was therefore excluded from DAM activity. The Bitmain contract continues to be accounted for as a derivative and measured with a fair value of $1,283. The unrealized loss of $5,463 related to Bitmain instruments was included in (Loss) gain on derivative securities, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

The Company also had cash receivables related to bitcoin-denominated puts sold of approximately $32,828, which included non-bitcoin-linked receivables arising from collateralized transactions associated with such puts. This amount was recorded in Prepaid expense and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026.

**Interest rate swap derivatives** 

The Company is party to two interest rate swap agreements. These derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recognized in current earnings within (Loss) gain on derivative securities, net.

In relation to the Company's Western Alliance Bank Credit Agreement entered into in August 2024, the Company holds an interest rate swap agreement (see Note 9 - Indebtedness). As of March 31, 2026, this interest rate swap derivative was recorded as a fair value liability of $29, reflecting a gain of $37 during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

In April 2025, the Company entered into a second interest rate swap agreement in connection with the refinancing of its corporate facility mortgage (see Note 9 - Indebtedness). As of March 31, 2026, the swap derivative was recorded as a fair value liability of $10, reflecting a gain of $17 during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate swap derivatives were recorded as a combined fair value liability of $39. Changes in the fair value of the swaps resulted in a net gain of $54 for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

**Description of outstanding debt**

*2032 Convertible notes*

In November 2025, we issued $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes"). The 2032 Notes were issued in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The 2032 Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a fixed rate of 0.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2026. The 2032 Notes will mature on February 15, 2032. The net proceeds from the sales of the 2033 Notes were approximately $1,130,710 after deducting $19,290 of related offering and issuance costs. The unamortized debt issuance costs as of March 31, 2026 were $18,150. The Company used approximately $460,000 of the proceeds to repurchase its common stock (see Note 11 - Stockholders' Equity). The fair value of the 2032 Notes was determined to be $779,160 as of March 31, 2026 based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, which is considered a Level 2 valuation input. While the 2032 Notes bear a 0% fixed interest rate, the effective interest rate for the notes as of March 31, 2026 was 0.27%, primarily reflecting the accretion of debt issuance costs.

------

Holders of the 2032 Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2031 only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (iii) if we call such notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the applicable redemption date; or (iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after August 15, 2031 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion of the 2032 Notes, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

As of March 31, 2026, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2032 Notes to convert their notes early had been met, and to require the Company to repurchase the 2032 Notes for cash. Therefore, the 2032 Notes are classified as long-term.

The initial conversion rate for the 2032 Notes is 52.1832 shares of common stock per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of principal amount of 2032 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $19.16 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2032 Indenture, dated as of November 13, 2025 (the "2032 Indenture"), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "2032 Trustee")), which shall include among other things the Company's delivery of a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such a corporate event or redemption, as the case may be.

We may not redeem the 2032 Notes prior to February 20, 2029. Subsequent to February 20, 2029, we may redeem for cash all or part of the 2032 Notes, at our option, if the last reported sales price of common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related notice of the redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding notes unless at least $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send related redemption notices. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the 2032 Indenture), subject to a limited exception described in the 2032 Indenture governing the notes, holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a price equal to plus accrued and unpaid special interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the 2032 Indenture).

The 2032 Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default either the 2032 Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2032 Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, on, all the 2032 Notes to be due and payable.

*2030 Convertible notes*

In December 2024, we issued $650,000 aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"), including the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of the 2030 Notes of their option to purchase up to an additional $100,000 principal amount of the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes were issued in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The 2030 Notes will mature on June 15, 2030. The net proceeds from the sales of the 2030 Notes were approximately $633,688 after deducting $16,312 of offering and issuance costs related to the 2030 Notes and before the capped call transactions, as described below. The unamortized debt issuance costs as of March 31, 2026 were $12,481. The Company used $145,000 of the proceeds to repurchase its common stock (see Note 11 - Stockholders' Equity). The fair value of the 2030 Notes was determined to be $635,726 as of March 31, 2026 based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, which is considered a Level 2 valuation methodology. While the 2030 Notes bear a 0% fixed interest rate, the effective interest rate for the notes as of March 31, 2026 was 0.46%, primarily reflecting the accretion of debt issuance costs.

------

Holders of the 2030 Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2029 only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (iii) if we call such notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the applicable redemption date; or (iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after December 15, 2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Holders of the 2030 Notes have a one-time noncontingent right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their respective notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the repurchase date on June 15, 2028.

As of March 31, 2026, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2030 Notes to convert their notes early had been met, and to require the Company to repurchase the 2030 Notes for cash. The 2030 Notes are classified as long-term.

The initial conversion rate for the 2030 Notes is 67.5858 shares of common stock per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of principal amount of 2030 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $14.80 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2030 Indenture, dated as of December 17, 2024 (the "2030 Indenture"), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "2030 Trustee")), which shall include among other things the Company's delivery of a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such a corporate event or redemption, as the case may be.

Subsequent to June 20, 2028, we may redeem for cash all or part of the 2030 Notes, at our option, if the last reported sales price of common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related notice of the redemption. However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding notes unless at least $75,000 aggregate principal amount of notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send related redemption notices. The redemption price of each note to be redeemed will be the principal amount of such note, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the 2030 Indenture), subject to a limited exception described in the 2030 Indenture governing the notes, holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a price equal to plus accrued and unpaid special interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the 2030 Indenture).

Upon conversion of the 2030 Notes, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. We may not redeem the 2030 Notes prior to June 20, 2028. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2030 Notes, at our option, on or after June 20, 2028 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which such notice of redemption is provided, during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we send the notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The embedded conversion and redemption features of the 2030 Notes do not meet the criteria for bifurcation and are not recognized as separate derivative instruments.

The 2030 Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default either the 2030 Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2030 Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, on, all the 2030 Notes to be due and payable.

------

*Capped calls*

In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the "2030 Capped Calls") with certain financial institutions at an aggregate cost of approximately $90,350. The 2030 Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of common stock underlying the 2030 Notes sold in the offering. By entering into the 2030 Capped Calls, the Company expects to reduce the potential dilution to its common stock (or, in the event a conversion of the 2030 Notes is settled in cash, to reduce its cash payment obligation) in the event that at the time of conversion of the 2030 Notes the trading price of the Company's common stock price exceeds the conversion price of the 2030 Notes. The cap price of the 2030 Capped Calls is initially $24.66 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2030 Capped Calls.

The 2030 Capped Calls meet the criteria for classification in equity, are not remeasured each reporting period and are included as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within shareholders' equity.

*Coinbase line of credit and receivable for bitcoin collateral*

On August 7, 2024, the Company signed a Master Loan Agreement (the "2024 Master Loan") with Coinbase Credit, Inc. ("Coinbase Credit" or the "Lender") for a revolving line of credit pursuant to which the Lender lends the Company certain digital assets or cash. The 2024 Master Loan had a credit limit of $50,000. On or prior to a drawdown, the Company is required to pledge collateral, and the Company has opted to pledge bitcoin to be held in a segregated custody account, such that the loan-to-value ratio of principal outstanding of the loan and the fair value of collateral is equal to or less than 64%. If the value of the collateral under the credit facility decreases past a specified margin, the Company may be required to post additional bitcoin as collateral.

The 2024 Master Loan includes embedded redemption features, which allows the lender to redeem the security before its maturity date ("redemption feature"). The 2024 Master Loan also includes a contingent interest feature that requires additional interest to be paid only if certain conditions are met. One such redemption feature and contingent interest feature is in the event of default, including failure to maintain sufficient collateral, the Lender may liquidate the collateral to satisfy the outstanding loan balance or charge incremental interest at the federal funds rate upon the under-collateralized portion of the loan. The Company assessed the embedded redemption features and the contingent interest feature and determined the features are clearly and closely related to the line of credit and do not require bifurcation. Upon transfer of the bitcoin, the Lender has the exclusive right to sell, pledge and rehypothecate the bitcoin without notice to the Company. Either party can terminate a loan with two days' notice to the other party. As of the date of this report, no such termination has occurred.

The line of credit is used by the Company in the ordinary course of business to manage operating liquidity, and borrowings are drawn and repaid on a regular basis throughout the fiscal year. Pursuant to the terms, the line of credit initially bore interest of 9% per annum and has no defined maturity date but is terminable by either the Lender or the Company with notice. During September 2024 and September 2025, the interest rate on the line of credit was adjusted to 8.5% per annum and 8.25% per annum, respectively. The interest rate has not been subsequently amended.

Since the Lender has the rights to sell, pledge and rehypothecate the bitcoin during the term of the 2024 Master Loan, the Company derecognized the bitcoin transferred as collateral. As the Company has the right to receive the bitcoin back from the Lender upon the repayment of the line of credit, the Company recorded a corresponding Receivable for bitcoin collateral. The Receivable for bitcoin collateral is measured at fair value. Changes in fair value as well as gains and losses from bitcoin transferred to and received from collateral are recorded as Gain on bitcoin collateral under the Other Income category in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and comprehensive income.

In April 2025, the Company amended the 2024 Master Loan agreement to expand the availability of borrowings to $200,000, and in September 2025, the Company further amended the facility through a side letter with Coinbase Credit to increase the maximum indicative borrowing capacity to $300,000. All other material terms remained consistent with the prior agreements.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no outstanding balance under the facility and had no posted bitcoin collateral.

*Two Prime line of credit and receivable for bitcoin collateral*

On September 19, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Loan Agreement with Two Prime Lending Limited, providing for a revolving line of credit of up to $100,000. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a rate equal to the one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 3.55% per annum and mature on September 14, 2026. Similar to the Coinbase facility, borrowings require the Company to pledge bitcoin as collateral. The agreement establishes collateral requirements based on loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, including an initial maximum LTV ratio of approximately 62.5%, a margin call if the LTV exceeds 74%, and a liquidation trigger if the LTV exceeds 80%.

------

The Company is required to maintain collateral in a designated cold storage wallet with a third-party custodian and retains rights to any forked or airdropped tokens that may result from posted collateral. Consistent with the Company's accounting for the Coinbase facility, bitcoin posted as collateral is derecognized, with a corresponding receivable for bitcoin collateral recorded at fair value. The receivable is subsequently remeasured at fair value, with changes recognized in (Loss) gain on bitcoin collateral within Other (expense) income.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no outstanding balance under the facility and had no posted bitcoin collateral.

*Western Alliance Bank credit agreement*

On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provides for borrowings under a promissory note with Western Alliance Bank (the "Western Alliance Bank Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to this agreement, the Company executed a promissory note in the amount of $7,000 in order to finance the purchase of an aircraft for operational use. The aircraft is pledged as collateral for the note. The notes bears a variable interest rate equal to the 30-day SOFR plus 3% per annum, payable monthly, and matures on August 14, 2029.

The credit agreement contains financial covenants, including a minimum loan-to-value ratio, a minimum debt service coverage ratio, and a minimum average deposit balance. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $5,690 gross principal balance outstanding for the Western Alliance Bank Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants, and no events of default had occurred under the credit agreement.

Concurrently with the credit agreement, on August 14, 2024, the Company entered into a plain vanilla interest rate swap agreement with a counterparty in which the Company effectively pay a fixed rate of 6.75% on the Western Alliance Bank Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap has an initial notional value of $7,000. This interest rate swap has a maturity date of August 14, 2029. This interest rate swap was not designated as a hedge and is presented within Note 6 - Investments and Derivatives.

*Corporate facility mortgage*

On May 10, 2023, CleanSpark HQ, LLC, a single member limited liability company and subsidiary wholly owned by the Company, completed a refinancing transaction whereby it borrowed a net $1,937 against the equity of the real property purchased in April 2023 that is utilized as the Company's corporate office (see Note 7 - Property and Equipment). The loan agreement has a two-year term, 10% interest rate and monthly interest only payments until maturity. In April 2025, the Company refinanced the outstanding balance with Western Alliance Bank through a new $2,000 promissory note through Bank of Nevada. The new loan matures in April 2030, bears interest at a variable rate equal to the one-month Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.85% (initially 7.17% as of the loan date), and requires monthly principal and interest payments based on a five-year amortization schedule.

*Marquee Funding Partners debt*

As of March 31, 2026, the unpaid balance on the mortgages assumed from the acquisition in August 2022 of a bitcoin mining facility from WAHA Technologies Inc. is $459. The remaining payment terms range from 5-11 months with an annual interest of 13%. The last mortgage matures on March 1, 2027.

*Auto and equipment loans and financing*

The Company has entered into various financing arrangements to purchase vehicles and non-miner equipment with combined principal outstanding at March 31, 2026 of $2,988. The loans vary in terms from 3-68 months remaining with annual interest rates ranging from 0.0-11.3%. The loans are secured by the purchased vehicles and equipment.

On August 28, 2024, the Company entered into a master financing agreement and related equipment financing schedule with Western Alliance Bank for borrowings of up to $1,000 to finance new equipment for operational purposes through February 28, 2025, and on March 27, 2026, the Company entered into an additional equipment schedule and amendment under its master financing agreement with Western Alliance Bank for borrowings of up to $1,000 to finance additional equipment purchases through September 27, 2026. During the interim term, borrowings under these financing arrangements bear interest at the Floating Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.00% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) consecutive thirty (30)-day months, and interest is charged for each day there is an outstanding balance. As of March 31, 2026, the August 2024 financing arrangement had an outstanding balance of $780, and approximately $365 was outstanding under the March 2026 financing arrangement. The Floating Wall Street Journal Prime Rate was 6.75% as of March 31, 2026, resulting in an interest rate of 7.75% per annum as of that date. The financing arrangements contain financial covenants, including a minimum loan-to-value ratio, a minimum debt service coverage ratio, and a minimum average deposit balance. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, and no events of default had occurred under the financing arrangements.

**10. INCOME TAXES**

The Company has calculated the tax provision based on the year-to-date actual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items in the quarter. The approach is applied when application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The Company believes, at this time, the use of the year-to-date actual effective tax rate approach is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pre-tax income. The quarterly tax provision is subject to fluctuation due to factors including certain book and tax differences, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, or changes in or interpretation of tax laws. We consider new evidence (both positive and negative) at each reporting date that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. We evaluate information such as historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in our analysis.

The Company had income tax benefit (including discrete items) of $9,891 and $3,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company also had income tax benefit of $41,306 and income tax expense of $6,174 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company's effective income tax rate (including discrete items) was 2.5% and 2.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and 5.2% and 5.4% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to maintaining a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets. The unrealized loss on fair market value of bitcoin for the six months ended March 31, 2026 reduced the unrealized gain on fair market value of bitcoin cumulative taxable temporary difference as of September 30, 2025. This reduced its ability to be used as a source of income to recognize deferred tax assets in future periods, resulting in a year-to-date increase in the valuation allowance of $127,762.

The Company currently maintains a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance assessment involves significant judgment and is sensitive to the availability, timing, and character of taxable income sources (including reversals of taxable temporary differences), and other factors. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that the valuation allowance could change materially in the next 12 months. Any such change would be recorded as a non-cash income tax expense or benefit in the period recognized.

**11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY**

<u>Overview</u>

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's authorized capital stock consisted of 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2026, there were 298,964,590 shares of common stock issued, 256,599,199 shares of common stock outstanding, and 1,750,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Under the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, holders were previously entitled to quarterly dividends on 2% of the Company's earnings before interest, taxes and amortization, payable in cash or common stock. In March 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved, and the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, an amended and restated certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, which provided for the extinguishment of the quarterly dividend feature and provided for a one-time dividend payment of $30,000. Following the amendment, the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer entitled to quarterly dividends based on the Company's earnings before interest, taxes and amortization. The Company recorded the payment as a deemed dividend (the "Deemed Dividend"), which is included in the caption Preferred stock dividends, including the deemed dividend in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. The preferred stock dividend for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $30,000 and $5,141, respectively (inclusive of the Deemed Dividend paid in March 2026). The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference on the stated value of $0.02 per share. The holders are further entitled to have the Company redeem each share of their Series A Preferred Stock for three shares of common stock in the event of a change of control, and they are entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to stockholders at a rate of forty-five (45) votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held.

**12. STOCK WARRANTS**

At March 31, 2026, the Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the liability warrants using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the liability warrants are included in the Other liabilities caption on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the changes in fair value are included in (Loss) gain on derivative securities, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

The following is a summary of stock warrant activity during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

**13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

The Company grants various equity awards as compensation for services received. Typically, the equity awards are meant to encourage retention of our workforce and accordingly certain awards also require a service period in addition to performance based awards.

Such awards have historically been in the form of stock options and restricted stock units. Grants of restricted stock units can be any of the of the following types: (a) time-based awards subject only to continued service conditions ("RSUs"), (b) performance-based awards subject to achievement of specified operational objectives ("PSUs"), or (c) market-performance-based awards with payout based on specified market conditions ("MPSUs").

As of March 31, 2026 there were 718,525 shares available and authorized for issuance under the Plan.

The Company recognized $24,186 and $6,122 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in stock-based compensation.

**STOCK OPTIONS**

The following is a summary of stock option activity during the six months ended March 31, 2026:

---

As of March 31, 2026, there were options exercisable to purchase 1,632,606 shares of common stock in the Company and 327,473 unvested options outstanding that cannot be exercised until vesting conditions are met. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding options had a weighted average remaining term of 6.5 years and an intrinsic value of $1,132. Forfeitures of options are recognized as they occur.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense relating to stock options of $1,768 and $2,123 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company expects to recognize $3,418 of stock-based compensation for the non-vested outstanding options over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

**RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS**

On March 9, 2026, the Company granted 124,880 RSUs to its board members as part of their annual compensation. These RSUs have a combined grant-date fair value of $1,200. The RSUs are scheduled to vest in four equal quarterly installments on June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026, and March 31, 2027. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not settled or issued any of these RSUs because no vesting date had occurred.

On March 20, 2026, the Company granted 5,411,148 awards to 22 members of its senior leadership team under its 2026 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2026 LTIP"), which was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of approximately 40% RSUs and 60% performance-based awards, with the performance-based portion split equally between PSUs and MPSUs.

The Company's RSUs vest over 3 years, on an annual basis. The value of RSUs is calculated using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost for RSUs is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

The following table summarizes the activity for all RSUs during the six months ended March 31, 2026:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Number of Shares** | **Weighted Average Fair Value Per Share** | **Aggregate Intrinsic Value** |
| Outstanding at September 30, 2025 | 12891419 | $9.16 | $186926 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 3821813 | $10.71 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Vested | (926093) | $8.62 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeited | (184079) | $8.16 |  |
| Outstanding at March 31, 2026 | 15603060 | $9.58 | $132782 |

---

------

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 15,603,060 outstanding unvested time-based restricted stock awards, which will vest over the weighted average 2.5 years. As of March 31, 2026, the unrecognized compensation costs related to all RSUs is $121,112.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expenses related to RSUs, of $21,686 and $3,942 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS**

*2026 Long Term Incentive Plan*

The 60% of the 2026 LTIP granted by the Company consisted of 30% PSU and 30% MPSU. Under the 2026 LTIP, the operational PSU tranche is based on gross MW under executed contracts for AI data center leases and the market-performance tranche is based on a 20-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") multiple at 2.0x the baseline stock price on grant date of $9.40. The Company valued the awards of the operational PSUs using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The MPSUs were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model whereby the grant date fair value was determined to be $5.79 per unit. Compensation cost for PSUs is recognized over the requisite service period based on the Company's estimate of the probable payout outcome, with cumulative catch-up adjustments recorded when those estimates change. Compensation cost for MPSUs is recognized over the requisite service period based on the fixed grant-date fair value, regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved, provided the requisite service is rendered. The 2026 LTIP PSUs and MPSUs may be achieved during the applicable performance measurement period, but any resulting awards vest only on March 20, 2029, subject to continued service. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has estimated that 100% of the operational PSU tranche will vest, based on currently owned locations actively marketed or expected to be marketed with power capabilities to meet the expected performance targets by March 20, 2027. The Company will evaluate the status of this performance metric each period end will record an expense true-up in the period of any estimate change.

The following table summarizes the performance targets and payout levels for the operational PSU tranche granted under the 2026 LTIP:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **2026 LTIP Operational PSU Performance Targets** | **2026 LTIP Operational PSU Performance Targets** |
| **Executed Lease Agreement Achievement Level through March 20, 2027** | **Payout as a % of Target PSU Tranche** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Less than 600 MW | 0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;600 MW to 699 MW | 25% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;700 MW to 799 MW | 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;800 MW or greater | 100% |

---

*Strategic Transformation Performance Award*

Also on March 20, 2026, the Company granted 7,698,000 performance stock awards to three executives under the one-time Strategic Transformation Performance Award ("STPA"). The STPA was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and was granted under the Company's stockholder-approved equity incentive plan. The STPA consisted entirely of performance-based awards, split equally between PSUs and MPSUs. Under the STPA, the operational PSU tranche is based on Total Gross MW of AI data centers "Ready for Service" and the market-performance tranche is based on a 20-day VWAP multiple ranging from 5.0x to 10.0x the baseline stock price on grant date of $9.40. The Company valued the awards of the operational PSUs using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The MPSUs were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model whereby the grant date fair value was determined to be $6.71 per unit. Compensation cost for PSUs is recognized over the requisite service period based on the Company's estimate of the probable payout outcome, with cumulative catch-up adjustments recorded when those estimates change. Compensation cost for MPSUs is recognized over the requisite service period based on the fixed grant-date fair value, regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved, provided the requisite service is rendered. The STPA PSUs and MPSUs may be achieved during the performance period between the grant date and September 30, 2030, and any earned awards are released only if the grantee remains employed through September 30, 2030. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has estimated that 0% of the operational PSU tranche will vest since no data center leases have yet been executed and accordingly, no lease commencement dates can be estimated as "Ready for Service" within the performance period. The Company will evaluate the status of future lease transactions each period end and will record an expense true-up in the period of such change.

The fair values of the MPSUs were determined using the Monte Carlo simulation and the inputs of MPSUs issued in the six months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fair value assumptions - Market-based RSUs granted:** | **March 31, 2026** |
| Risk free interest rate | 3.95% |
| Expected volatility | 101.70% |
| Expected dividends through the vesting term | $0.00 |
| Performance period (years) | 1.0 - 4.5 |
| Vesting term (years) | 3.0 - 4.5 |

---

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 7,095,689 stock awards related to PSUs expected to vest combined with MPSUs outstanding. The total compensation cost related to unearned PSUs expected to vest and MPSUs not yet recognized, assuming the Company's current projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved, was approximately $47,362 and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 3.8 years. This estimate is based on the current projected levels of performance of outstanding PSUs. The compensation cost not yet recognized could be higher or lower based on actual achieved levels of performance.

Stock-based compensation expense relating to PSUs and MPSUs was $733 and $57 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**<u>Contractual future payments</u>**

The contractual future payments related to the Company's indebtedness are disclosed in Note 9 - Indebtedness to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table sets forth additional information regarding the Company's unconditional contractual future obligations as of March 31, 2026 that are not recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

**<u>U.S. importation tariffs</u>**

In May 2025, the Company began receiving invoices from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency ("CBP") asserting Chinese origin import tariffs on certain miners imported in 2024. In addition to the documentation received by the Company during importation that validates non-Chinese origin, the seller of the miners has consistently represented to the Company that the country of origin of the mining hardware was not China, as required by the applicable purchase agreements. In the event that CBP were to successfully defend its allegations of Chinese origin and assert import duties with respect to the remaining entries at issue, the Company's total tariff liability in respect of previously purchased miners could rise to approximately $130,000, not including statutory interest. The Company has filed administrative protests challenging these determinations, and certain protests have been approved by CBP through the administrative process. The Company continues to believe CBP's allegation of Chinese origin are without merit and continues to contest the remaining asserted duties.

While the ultimate outcome of this matter remains uncertain, the Company has determined that a loss is not probable and, accordingly, no provision was recorded as of March 31, 2026.

**<u>Legal contingencies</u>**

In addition to the legal matters disclosed below, the Company may from time to time be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management's expectations, the Company's financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

**Hasthantra v. CleanSpark, Inc. et al.**

On January 20, 2021, Scott Bishins ("Bishins"), individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated (together, the "Class" and the "Plaintiffs"), filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its officers, including the Company's CEO and the Executive Chair.

------

On December 2, 2021, the Court appointed Bishins and Darshan Hasthantra as lead plaintiffs, and on February 1, 2024, the Court entered a voluntary dismissal on behalf of Bishins.

On February 28, 2022, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Class Complaint alleging that, between December 10, 2020, and August 16, 2021, Defendants made material misstatements and omissions related to the Company's acquisition of ATL Data Centers LLC and its anticipated expansion of bitcoin mining operations. Plaintiffs seek certification of the Class, an award of compensatory damages, and reimbursement of costs and expenses.

On September 24, 2025, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion for class certification. Expert discovery concluded in late 2025. On December 12, 2025, the Company filed motions to exclude the reports and testimony of Plaintiffs' two expert witnesses, Dr. Zahn Bozanic and David M. Ponte, which were fully briefed as of March 3, 2026, and remain pending.

The Company believes that the claims asserted are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate potential losses, if any, that may arise.

**Consolidated Smith Derivative Actions**

Between February 21, 2023, and March 8, 2023, four shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in Clark County against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, including its Executive Chair, Chief Executive Officer, and former Chief Financial Officer. Each action was consolidated in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada (the "Consolidated Smith Action"). The claims assert breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and corporate waste under Nevada law, with the plaintiffs seeking monetary damages, restitution, declaratory relief, litigation costs, and the imposition of additional corporate governance and internal controls.

The Company's Board of Directors formed a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC") to investigate and evaluate the claims in accordance with Nevada law. On November 6, 2023, the court granted the SLC's motion to intervene and stayed the case pending the SLC's Motion that the Claims Should be Dismissed (the "Motion to Defer"). On April 2, 2026, the Court denied the Motion to Defer without prejudice to the defendants' contentions relative to the merits of the action. The denial was procedural in nature and did not constitute a ruling on the merits of underlying claims. The Company is evaluating whether to seek appellate review or other available remedies.

The Company believes that the claims raised in the Consolidated Smith Action are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against them. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate potential losses, if any, related to this matter.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

***($ presented in 000's, except for bitcoin price)***

*The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as disclosed in the Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as those identified in the "Risk Factors" section of our Form 10-K. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. See "Forward-Looking Statements."*

**Company Overview**

We are a data center developer, until recently focused exclusively on bitcoin mining. We focus on providing scalable, energy-efficient digital infrastructure across the United States. We independently own, lease and operate a large portfolio of data centers and power assets with locations in Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Wyoming for a total contracted power capacity of approximately 1,809 megawatts ("MW") as of March 31, 2026. In February 2026 and October 2025, we acquired properties and related power agreements in Texas to support the development of a next-generation data center campus. In February 2026, we acquired property in Tennessee, and, in December 2025, we acquired property in South Dakota with intentions to build out infrastructure at these sites. We intend to continue our growth in these regions and are actively developing plans for additional capacity in these states and other regions. We have no intention to mine, purchase or hold any crypto assets other than bitcoin at this time or in the foreseeable future, and we did not hold any other crypto asset as of March 31, 2026.

We design our infrastructure to responsibly secure and support both bitcoin mining and AI and HPC workloads. We cultivate trust and transparency among our employees and the communities where we operate.

*Bitcoin Mining* 

Bitcoin mining has historically been our principal revenue generating business activity. Factors such as access to specialized mining servers, energy, electricity cost, environmental factors (such as cooling capacity) and location play important roles in mining. As of March 31, 2026, our operating mining units produced an average computing power of 47.3 exahash per second ("EH/s"), following our achievement of a peak hashrate of 50 EH/s during fiscal year 2025. In bitcoin mining, "hashrate" is a measure of the computing and processing power and speed by which a mining computer mines and processes transactions on the bitcoin network. We expect to continue increasing our computing power through 2026 and beyond as we expand infrastructure at our owned sites in Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, and Wyoming, while also pursuing regional expansion opportunities and evaluating strategic acquisition targets. A company's computing power, measured in hashrate, is a significant driver of its bitcoin mining revenue, and when compared to the global hashrate, determines the company's market share, making hashrate one of the most important metrics for evaluating bitcoin mining companies.

We owned approximately 326,885 miners, of which approximately 224,473 were in service as of March 31, 2026. The remainder primarily consists of new machines that are ready for installation at expansion sites, are under evaluation for relocation, or are awaiting repair. Our miners range in age from 1-63 months and have an average age of approximately 20 months. We estimate the useful lives of our miners to be three years. We do not have scheduled downtime for our miners; however, we periodically perform unscheduled maintenance and curtailments on our miners, but such downtime has not historically been significant. When performing unscheduled maintenance, we will typically replace the miner with a substitute miner to limit overall downtime. The miners in service as of March 31, 2026 had a range of energy efficiency (joules per terahash – "J/TH") of 13.5 to 29.5 J/TH with an average operating energy efficiency of 16.2 J/TH.

------

We obtain bitcoin from our mining operations by contributing all of our computing power to a single mining pool operator, which is currently our sole customer under a contract terminable at any time by either party. In exchange, we earn variable consideration in the form of bitcoin rewards, determined daily using a predetermined formula based on our contributed computing power. The consideration is included in revenue once it is no longer constrained, when we can reasonably estimate the rewards and determine a significant reversal is unlikely, and our sole performance obligation of providing computing power is satisfied. Revenue is not disaggregated into block rewards and transaction fees. From time to time, we sell bitcoin to support operations and strategic growth, and we may also use bitcoin as collateral for lending arrangements. In April 2025, we launched an institutional-grade in-house trading function as we shift to a balanced approach between monetizing new production and building long-term holdings, and we plan to continue to integrate these strategies into our regular treasury management activities. As part of this strategy, we began entering into bitcoin-linked derivative contracts to economically hedge the volatility of bitcoin prices and to generate liquidity in support of core operating activities. These contracts serve as a strategic alternative to selling bitcoin directly and are intended to monetize our bitcoin holdings while managing exposure to adverse price movements. The types of derivatives utilized for this purpose may include bitcoin forwards, options, and other structured instruments. These contracts are typically short-term in nature and may be cash-settled or settled in-kind. Treasury management activities may serve cash management, strategic growth, or bitcoin balance hedging, incremental other income or other general corporate purposes. Currently, we do not employ a fixed formula for when or how much bitcoin to sell, and decisions are made by management based on working capital needs, real-time market conditions, risk management objectives, and broader strategic considerations.

The value of bitcoin has historically been subject to wide swings. The following table provides a range of intraday low and intraday high bitcoin prices between October 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Range of intraday bitcoin prices** |  |  |
| **Quarterly Reporting Periods Ended** | **Minimum Price** | **Maximum Price** |
| December 31, 2024 | $58864 | $108389 |
| March 31, 2025 | 76555 | 109358 |
| June 30, 2025 | 74421 | 112000 |
| September 30, 2025 | 105120 | 124533 |
| December 31, 2025 | 80525 | 126296 |
| March 31, 2026 | 60000 | 97964 |

---

As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately 11,920 bitcoins and had a receivable for 1,641 bitcoin that was posted as collateral and recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Receivable for bitcoin collateral. The fair value of our bitcoin as of March 31, 2026 was $813,221 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the fair value of our Receivable for bitcoin collateral was $111,940. The fair value of bitcoin for each reporting period reflects the price of one bitcoin quoted on the active exchange, Coinbase, at the end of the reporting period. Therefore, decreases in the market price of bitcoin could have a material impact on our earnings and on the carrying value of our bitcoin.

As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company did not hold any other cryptocurrency of value other than bitcoin.

*AI and HPC Hosting*

Leveraging our power optimization, land acquisition, engineering, operations and construction expertise, we have been actively pursuing opportunities to develop portions of our sites and power pipeline for AI, HPC and other advanced data-center hosting and leasing applications. The expansion of AI technologies and the increasing electricity requirements of AI and HPC workloads have positioned our infrastructure as a competitive platform for hyperscalers, cloud service providers and AI and HPC companies seeking reliable and energy-efficient capacity. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, we had earned no revenues from our AI and HPC services business.

We are evaluating existing properties for potential conversion or dual-use development to support AI and HPC tenants and are advancing design and permitting activities for greenfield data-center sites. On February 27, 2026, we acquired property in Brazoria County, Texas and secured a framework for approximately 300 megawatts for power capacity, with potential expansion to approximately 600 megawatts, to support the development of a next-generation data center campus. On October 27, 2025, we acquired property in Austin County, Texas and secured approximately 285 megawatts of planned power capacity to support a similar purpose. These transactions mark the Company's entry into the Texas market and have expanded our portfolio of land and power-related infrastructure for future AI and HPC development.

We maintain real property holdings through our wholly owned and consolidated subsidiaries.

**Bitcoin Mining Operations**

***Overview***

We operate a fleet of servers commonly known as miners or ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), which are computer chips customized for a specific use. In the case of bitcoin mining, ASICs calculate the SHA-256 algorithm as efficiently and quickly as possible in order to compete with other miners to solve blocks. Each calculation is a hash, and each machine's computational power is measured in terahash processed per second. One terahash is equal to 1 trillion hashes. The more terahash we produce and contribute into the mining pool, the higher our percentage of the blockchain reward.

There are a variety of factors that influence our ability to mine bitcoin profitability. Our ability to mine profitability is dependent on successfully navigating these fluctuating variables, which include bitcoin's value in USD (the volatility of which is described above), mining difficulty, block rewards and halving, global hashrate, power prices, fleet energy efficiency, data center energy efficiency and other factors.

The energy efficiency of a mining fleet helps drive profitability, because the most significant direct expense for bitcoin mining is power. We measure efficiency by the joules (or watts) of energy required to produce each terahash of processing power. We believe we operate a highly efficient fleet of miners.

The table below describes our fleet as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 and our miner efficiency and computing power as compared to the global computing power.

<sup>(1)</sup> Total global hashrate was obtained from Hashrate index (https://data.hashrateindex.com/network-data/network).

<sup>(2)</sup> Joules of energy required to produce each terahash of processing power, based on the Company's miner fleet operating at period end.

<sup>(3)</sup> The average hashrate was calculated from operating activity for the final month of each respective reporting period.

As of March 31, 2026, our operating hashrate was approximately 4.66% of the total global hashrate, and we received approximately the same percentage of the global blockchain rewards, which, as of that date, equaled approximately 20-21 bitcoin per day, excluding the bitcoin earned from network transaction fees. Ultimately, in order to mine profitably, we work to ensure that these mining rewards cover our direct operating costs.

<sup>(1)</sup> Average revenue of each bitcoin mined is calculated by dividing the sum of bitcoin mining revenue for our owned facilities by the total number of bitcoin mined by our owned facilities during the respective periods. We have determined that Coinbase is the principal market for valuing bitcoin transactions and use the closing price of bitcoin at 23:59:59 UTC as the source of recording revenue. See the table "Range of intraday bitcoin prices" for information on the range of intraday bitcoin prices for quarterly periods between October 1, 2024 and March 31, 2026.

<sup>(2)</sup> Includes mining rewards and transaction fees but excludes the reduction for pool operator fees.

Power prices are the most significant cost driver for our wholly owned locations, and energy expense represented 59.9% and 46.0% as expressed as a percentage of bitcoin mining revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 55.8% and 43.4% as expressed as a percentage of bitcoin mining revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Energy prices can be highly volatile and global events can impact energy rates. We have a diverse portfolio of power contracts across our sites in the states of Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Wyoming. These contracts are currently subject to variable prices and market rate fluctuations with respect to wholesale power costs. Such prices are governed by power purchase agreements which vary by location, and said prices can change hour to hour. While this renders energy prices less predictable, it also gives us greater ability and flexibility to actively manage the energy we consume with a goal of increasing profitability and energy efficiency. Energy prices are also highly sensitive to weather events, such as winter storms, polar vortices and hurricanes, which increase the demand for power regionally. When such events occur, we may curtail our operations to avoid using power at increased rates. The average power prices we paid under our power contracts at our owned facilities were $0.052 and $0.060 per kWh for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and were $0.054 and $0.055 per kWh, for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

------

The management team makes real-time determinations on the need and timing during which we should curtail our operations. We curtail when power prices exceed the value we would receive for the corresponding fixed bitcoin reward. This means if bitcoin's value decreases or energy prices increase, our curtailment will increase; likewise, when bitcoin's value increases and energy prices decrease, our curtailment will decrease. The management and operations teams manage these decisions on an hour-by-hour basis across all our sites. The Company did not have significant curtailment and maintained an average uptime greater than 90% during the six months ended March 31, 2026. A large portion of the curtailment during the first quarter related to Hurricane Helene which affected our Georgia sites at the end of September 2024 to the beginning of October 2024. The southeast Georgia sites were shut down as the hurricane began impacting the region, thus at the beginning of the October 2024, these sites were operating on approximately 200 MW which gradually increased during the same week to their full 365 MW capacity when utility service was restored to the communities.

The Company records depreciation expense (a non-cash expense) on its miners on a straight-line basis over the miners' expected useful life. Such non-cash depreciation amounts are recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income as Depreciation and amortization. Although the Company recognizes depreciation with respect to its mining assets, it does not consider depreciation in determining whether it is economical to operate its mining equipment since depreciation expense is not an avoidable operating cost, such as energy costs. The table above presents the non-cash miner depreciation expense on a "per bitcoin" basis, calculated by dividing miner depreciation expense in our owned facilities by the number of bitcoin mined in the owned facilities. On a "cost per bitcoin" ratio, miner depreciation expense was $55,098 and $33,552 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

In the prior period ended March 31, 2025, we had financing costs for a limited number of miners in our miner fleet, and such costs were recorded within Interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The table above presents financing costs per bitcoin calculated by dividing direct interest expense on our miner financing agreement by the number of bitcoin mined in our owned facilities. On a cost per bitcoin ratio, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 the financing costs per bitcoin mined was $60 and $78, respectively.

A total of 147 bitcoin were mined at hosted facilities during the six months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had exited all bitcoin mining operations conducted at hosted facilities and since then conducts mining exclusively at owned and leased facilities. Accordingly, no bitcoin were mined at hosted facilities during the comparable periods in the current year. Management no longer evaluates operating performance using hosted-facility metrics, and current-period disclosures reflect only the cost structure and operating statistics of owned and leased mining locations. Prior-year hosted-facility results are discussed only to the extent necessary to explain period-over-period changes.

**Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025**

***($ presented in 000's, except for average bitcoin price)***

***Bitcoin mining revenue***

We earned $136,408 in bitcoin mining revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was a decrease of $45,304, or 25%, as compared to $181,712 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Bitcoin mining revenues are recorded net of bitcoin mining fees charged by our sole mining pool operator (Foundry) that equaled approximately 0.21% of gross bitcoin mining revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and are determined by two main drivers: quantity of bitcoin mined and the price of bitcoin on the date the bitcoin is mined. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we mined 1,795 bitcoin with an average bitcoin price of $75,989 as compared to 1,957 bitcoin with an average bitcoin price of $92,870 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in bitcoin mining revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was attributable to the decrease in the average bitcoin price combined with a decrease in total bitcoin mined during the period as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Although the number of our miners in operation increased to 224,473 as of March 31, 2026 from 205,412 as of March 31, 2025, global hashrate grew more rapidly over the same period, increasing competition across the blockchain network. As a result, our relative share of total network computational power declined, which contributed to the decrease in bitcoin mined during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

------

***Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense)***

Our cost of revenues was $81,691 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which represents a decrease of $3,733, or 4%, as compared with $85,424 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease in costs was primarily related to energy costs to operate the miners within our owned facilities, which were $81,648 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $1,020, or 1%, as compared to $82,668 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Energy costs were generally consistent in comparison, with the slight decrease reflecting normal changes in our operating footprint and power utilization across owned facilities, partially offset by the increase in miners operating at those locations. Additionally, we continually evaluate energy and bitcoin prices and periodically will curtail our mining operations when it is advantageous to do so.

***Professional fees***

Professional fees, which consisted primarily of legal, accounting and consulting fees, were $9,652 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $6,669, or 224%, from $2,983 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to higher consulting and other professional fees of $7,330 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $1,942 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. These costs were incurred in connection with evaluating and developing our HPC and AI initiatives.

***Payroll expenses***

Payroll expenses were $24,922 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $9,667, or 63%, from $15,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our payroll expenses include all compensation-related expenses for our employees and mainly include salaries, wages, payroll-related taxes and benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation. Payroll expenses, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, were $13,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing an increase of 13% from $12,154 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and were mainly attributed to increased headcount due to expansion of operational locations.

Stock-based awards granted to certain employees are a significant portion of our payroll-related costs. Stock-based compensation for employees, which is a non-cash expense, was $11,137 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $8,036, or 259%, from $3,101 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The lower overall stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to that lack of a formal grant date or service inception date under the 2025 LTIP as of March 31, 2025 and accordingly there was no expense recognized under this plan over that prior year period.

***General and administrative expenses***

General and administrative expenses increased to $16,105 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $11,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of $4,369 or 37%. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in corporate overhead, including, but not limited to, property taxes, rent, and maintenance expenses due to the increase in owned assets.

***Loss (gain) on fair value of bitcoin, net***

Loss on fair value of bitcoin, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $224,107 and $127,667, respectively, a total variance of $96,440. We measured crypto assets at fair value and included the gains and losses from remeasurement in net income. The loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is attributable to the change in bitcoin's fair value from approximately $87,500 per bitcoin on December 31, 2025 to approximately $68,200 per bitcoin on March 31, 2026. The loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 pertains to the change in bitcoin's fair value from approximately $93,400 per bitcoin on December 31, 2024 to $82,500 per bitcoin on March 31, 2025.

***Depreciation and amortization***

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $115,881 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $78,901 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $36,980, or 47%. Depreciation expense increased by $37,332, or 48%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, to $115,265 from $77,933, mainly due to an increase in miners and mining-related equipment being in service during the comparative period.

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $616, a decrease of $351, or 36%, from $967 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in amortization expense is primarily due to some of the Company's intangible assets aging off of the balance sheet.

------

***Other (expense) income***

Other expense was $42,555 and $3,811 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which represents a change of $38,744.

The loss on bitcoin collateral was the primary reason for the increase in other expense since in the prior year there was no collateral held by Coinbase or other counterparties. The loss in the fair value of collateral of $38,838 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is attributable to the change in the underlying collateral that was posted while bitcoin's fair value fell during the period from approximately $87,500 per bitcoin on December 31, 2025 to approximately $68,200 per bitcoin on March 31, 2026.

Interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $1,058 to $3,072 from $2,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to greater balance of cash retained in short-term interest-bearing accounts.

Interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $787 to $2,054 from $1,267 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the amortization of deferred issuance costs from the convertible notes and the lines of credit which the company had a limited volume of outstanding amounts during the comparative period.

***Net (loss) income***

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $378,343 and $138,792, respectively, an increase in net loss of $239,551 due to the reasons stated above.

**Results of continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025**

***($ presented in 000's, except for average bitcoin price)***

***Bitcoin mining revenue***

We earned $317,588 in bitcoin mining revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2026, which was a decrease of $26,430, or 8%, as compared with $344,018 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Bitcoin mining revenues are recorded net of bitcoin mining fees charged by our sole mining pool operator (Foundry) that equaled approximately 0.20% of gross bitcoin mining revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2026, and are determined by two main drivers: quantity of bitcoin mined and the price of bitcoin on the date the bitcoin is mined. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, we mined 3,612 bitcoin with an average bitcoin price of $87,916 as compared to 3,902 bitcoin with an average bitcoin price of $88,170 during the six months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in bitcoin mining revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was attributable to the decrease in the average bitcoin price combined with a decrease in total bitcoin mined during the period as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2025. Although the number of our miners in operation increased to 224,473 as of March 31, 2026 from 205,412 as of March 31, 2025, global hashrate grew more rapidly over the same period, increasing competition across the blockchain network. As a result, our relative share of total network computational power declined, which contributed to the decrease in bitcoin mined during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

***Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense)***

Our cost of revenues was $177,312 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, which represents an increase of $21,598, or 14%, as compared with $155,714 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. These costs were primarily related to energy costs to operate the miners within our owned facilities, which were $177,184 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $31,442 or 22% as compared to $145,742 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in energy costs was due to the expansion of our operations since March 31, 2025 and the increase in the volume of miners operating in our owned locations. We continually evaluate energy and bitcoin prices and periodically will curtail our mining operations when it is advantageous to do so.

***Professional fees***

Professional fees, which consisted primarily of legal, accounting and consulting fees, were $15,058 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $8,190, or 119%, from $6,868 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to higher consulting and other professional fees of $10,002 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $4,382 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. These costs were incurred in connection with evaluating and developing our HPC and AI initiatives.

------

***Payroll expenses***

Payroll expenses were $48,707 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $12,583, or 35%, from $36,124 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Our payroll expenses include all compensation-related expenses for our employees and mainly include salaries, wages, payroll-related taxes and benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation. Payroll expenses, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, were $26,486 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, representing a decrease of 12% from $30,002 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, and were mainly attributed to changes in the composition and timing of payroll costs during the period, partially offset by increased headcount associated with the expansion of operational locations.

Stock-based awards granted to certain employees are a significant portion of our payroll-related costs. Stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense, was $22,221 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $16,099, or 263%, from $6,122 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The lower overall stock-based compensation for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was due to that lack of a formal grant date or service inception date under the 2025 LTIP as of March 31, 2025, and accordingly there was no expense recognized under this plan.

***General and administrative expenses***

General and administrative expenses increased to $31,547 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $21,790 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of $9,757 or 45%. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in corporate overhead, including, but not limited to, property taxes, rent, and maintenance expenses due to the increase in owned assets.

***Loss (gain) on fair value of bitcoin, net***

Loss on fair value of bitcoin, net for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was $470,939 as compared to a gain on fair value of bitcoin of $90,539 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, a total variance of $561,478. The loss for the six months ended March 31, 2026 pertains to the change in bitcoin's fair value from approximately $114,100 per bitcoin on September 30, 2025 to approximately $68,200 per bitcoin on March 31, 2026. The gain for the six months ended March 31, 2025 pertains to the change in bitcoin's fair value from approximately $63,300 per bitcoin on September 30, 2024 to $82,500 per bitcoin on March 31, 2025.

***Depreciation and amortization***

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $222,192 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, from $145,130 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, a increase of $77,062 or 53%. Depreciation expense increased by $77,575, or 54%, during the six months ended March 31, 2026, from $143,058 to $220,633, mainly due to an increase in miners and mining-related equipment being in service during the comparative period.

Amortization expense for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was $1,559, a decrease of $513, or 25%, from $2,072 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in amortization expense is primarily due to some of the Company's intangible assets aging off of the balance sheet.

***Other (expense) income***

Other expense was $136,127 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared with other income of $42,221 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, which is change of $178,348.

The $142,458 loss on bitcoin collateral was the primary reason for the increase in other expense compared to a prior year gain on bitcoin collateral of $42,493. The loss in the fair value of collateral for the six months ended March 31, 2026 is attributable to the change in the underlying bitcoin posted as collateral's fair value during the period from approximately $114,100 per bitcoin on September 30, 2025 to approximately $68,200 per bitcoin on March 31, 2026. The gain for the six months ended March 31, 2025 pertains to the change in bitcoin's fair value from approximately $63,300 per bitcoin on September 30, 2024 to $82,500 per bitcoin on March 31, 2025.

Interest income in the six months ended March 31, 2026 increased to $5,257 from $3,490 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1,767 due to greater balance of cash retained in short-term interest-bearing accounts.

Interest expense in the six months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $2,924 to $5,750 from $2,826 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 due to the amortization of deferred issuance costs from the convertible notes and the lines of credit which the company had a limited volume of outstanding amounts during the comparative period.

Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was $757,054, as compared to net income of $107,999 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, due to the reasons stated above.

**Non-GAAP Measure**

We present Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. Our non-GAAP "Adjusted EBITDA" excludes (i) impacts of interest, taxes, and depreciation; (ii) our share-based compensation expense, unrealized gains/losses on securities, and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration with respect to previously completed acquisitions, all of which are non-cash items that we believe are not reflective of our general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment, and the resulting expenses could vary significantly in comparison to other companies; (iii) non-cash impairment losses related to long-lived assets; (iv) realized gains and losses on sales of equity securities, the amounts of which are directly related to the unrealized gains and losses that are also excluded; (v) legal fees related to litigation and various transactions, which fees management does not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating activities; (vi) gains and losses on disposal of assets, the majority of which are related to obsolete or unrepairable machines that are no longer deployed; (vii) gains and losses related to discontinued operations that would not be applicable to our future business activities; and (viii) severance expenses.

Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these items allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company's core business operating results and those of other companies, and provides the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management's internal use of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate our bitcoin-related revenues). For example, we expect that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers and directors.

The Company's Adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating (loss) income or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents Adjusted EBITDA, we only utilize that measure supplementally and do not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following is a reconciliation of our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure (i.e., net (loss) income) for the periods indicated:

\* We have not excluded our Loss (gain) on fair value of bitcoin, net or our (Loss) gain on bitcoin collateral which we record in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income as provided in ASC 350-60 and discussed in the Form 10-K. Loss (gain) on fair value of bitcoin, net totaled a loss of $224,107 and $127,667 in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and a loss of $470,939 and a gain of $90,539 in the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. (Loss) gain on bitcoin collateral totaled a loss of $38,838 and $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and a loss of $142,458 and a gain of $42,493 in the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***($ presented in 000's)***

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, capital expenditures, loan payments, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we further develop and grow our business. Our principal sources of liquidity have been and are expected to be our cash and cash equivalents, bitcoin, proceeds from our convertible note and line of credit.

As of March 31, 2026, we had total current assets of $1,099,037, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and bitcoin. Our total current liabilities and total liabilities as of March 31, 2026 were $133,068 and $1,927,341, respectively. We had working capital of $965,969 as of March 31, 2026. We use a portion of the bitcoin we mine to fund operations and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, we have a total outstanding balance of $1,769,369 zero-coupon convertible notes outstanding and unused lines of credit balances totaling $400,000 with Coinbase and Two Prime as discussed in Note 9 - Indebtedness.

Based on our current plans and business conditions, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents and bitcoin, together with cash and bitcoin generated from operations and our future investing activities, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months and for the reasonably foreseeable future until we reach consistent profitability, and we are not aware of any trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in a decrease in the liquidity of our assets. We are likely to require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and in either the short-term or long-term may determine to engage in equity or debt financings. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In particular, the ongoing impacts of inflation and fluctuations in interest rates, global conflicts including increases in tariffs, have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption and volatility in the global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when or on the terms desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

*Material Cash Requirements*

We are a party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of cancelable purchase commitments with various parties to purchase goods or services, primarily mining equipment and construction costs, as well as operating leases. For information regarding our other contractual obligations, refer to Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, and Note 19 - Commitments and Contingencies included in our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on November 25, 2025.

We regularly evaluate opportunities to expand our business, including through potential acquisitions of businesses or assets. We will evaluate a variety of sources of capital in connection with financing any future possible acquisitions, including the incurrence of debt, sales of stock or bitcoin, or using cash on hand. We may also use the Company's stock as transaction consideration, as we have done in the past.

*Digital Asset Management Treasury Activity*

During 2025, the Company instituted a Digital Asset Management ("DAM") treasury strategy designed to enhance liquidity and generate incremental income from the Company's bitcoin holdings. The Company selectively engages in derivative transactions, primarily covered call and put option contracts, that are collateralized by bitcoin held in treasury or cash, respectively. These transactions are structured to manage operating liquidity and monetize near-term volatility while maintaining long-term exposure to bitcoin price appreciation.

During periods of rising bitcoin prices, the Company's realized derivative results may reflect accounting losses on written call options that are settled in bitcoin or cash, as the strike price is below the prevailing market price of bitcoin. However, such losses are offset economically and accounted for by an increase in the fair value of the underlying bitcoin retained by the Company through the settlement date. This strategy, referred to internally as "Spot+" trading, provides the Company with steady proceeds from the sale of options while managing the regular and ongoing sale of bitcoin for operating needs.

------

The Company also generates premium proceeds from the sale of far out-of-the-money call options with low delta exposure. While bitcoin subject to these contracts may get called from time to time, these options typically expire unexercised and provide proceeds without requiring disposition of bitcoin. In the event of an exercise, the Company may adjust the pace of Spot+ and yield activities to replenish bitcoin balances held for long-term investment purposes ("HODL balances"), or use the additional cash generated for operating or capital expenditures. The proceeds generated from these activities provide a steady stream of investing cash flows for the company while acting as economic hedges for the company's wider operating activities. While the Company's use of purchased or written put options has been limited to date, these are expected to be a growing portion of the Company's holistic and growing treasury management and hedging activities.

The table below reconciles the Company's derivative income to its related proceeds from DAM activities for the period presented:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Add: Basis premium generated from DAM forward trades | 106 | 191 |
| **Proceeds from premiums** | $**3974** | $**17245** |

---

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 activities provided approximately $4.0 and $17.2 million, respectively, of proceeds from premiums and incremental Spot+ trading. These premiums are used to supplement operating cash flows from bitcoin mining. Management views DAM activities as an integrated component of its treasury strategy and liquidity management, rather than as speculative trading. The Company expects to continue its Spot+ and yield strategies at measured levels relative to its total bitcoin balance and operating requirements. The Bitmain options are bitcoin-linked derivatives but were not a result of the Company's DAM strategy and are not included in DAM activity.

The table below presents the Company's DAM derivative activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which supports the proceeds reconciliation above:

*Operating Activities*

The Company generates non-cash revenue through mining bitcoin, which it retains the majority of based on its long-term value strategy, while funding all operating expenses with cash. As a result, net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was $296,962 primarily due to cost of revenues of $177,312, payroll expenses of $48,707 and general and administrative expenses of $31,547, as well as a net $48,789 use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, The Company also reported a net loss of $757,054 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, which was primarily driven by the decrease in the price of bitcoin during the period.

Operating activities from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2025, resulted in a net cash outflow of $231,735, primarily due to cost of revenues of $155,714 and payroll expenses of $36,124, in spite of a net income of $107,999, due to the increase of the non-cash gains in the held bitcoin balance. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used a net total of $20,529 of cash.

*Investing Activities*

Investing activities from operations generated $48,995 during the six months ended March 31, 2026. Our payments on miners (including miner deposits) of $14,808, purchase of fixed assets of $74,522, purchase of bitcoin of $162,772 and payments for asset acquisitions of $62,134, were the main components of our investing cash outflow for the six months ended March 31, 2026. This was fully offset by cash received from proceeds from the sales of bitcoin of $342,815 and by cash proceeds received from the sale of miners of $3,361.

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities totaled $315,877 and was primarily driven by payments on miners and mining equipment of $253,754, purchase of fixed assets of $91,451, and payments for asset acquisitions cumulating to about $13,595. This was partially offset by cash received in the GRIID acquisition of $1,411 and by proceeds from the sale of miners of $41,512.

*Financing Activities*

Cash flows generated from financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2026 amounted to $465,011 compared to $523,751 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Our cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2026 consisted primarily of proceeds from the convertible note totaling $1,133,086, partially offset by net repayments on the revolving lines of credit of $174,500 and the repurchase of common stock of $460,000.

Our cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of proceeds from the convertible note of $635,695 and proceeds from equity offerings of $186,808, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock of $145,000, aggregate payments for capped call transactions of $90,350, and payments on loans in the amount of $54,423.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the judgments we make about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because these estimates can vary depending on the situation, actual results may differ from these estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and statement of cash flows.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in our Form 10-K other than as described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

Please refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the corresponding Note 2 in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended September 30, 2025 in our Form 10-K for recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

The following discussion about the Company's market risk exposures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

***Market Price Risk of Bitcoin.*** The Company holds a significant amount of bitcoin; therefore, we are exposed to the impact of market price changes in bitcoin on its bitcoin holdings. This exposure would generally manifest itself in the following areas:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Company accounts for its bitcoin holdings at fair value and records changes in fair value throughout the periods being reported.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Declines in the fair market value of bitcoin will impact the cash value that would be realized if the Company were to sell its bitcoin for cash, therefore having a negative impact on its liquidity.

At March 31, 2026, the Company held approximately 11,920 bitcoin on hand and the equivalent of 1,641 bitcoins receivable as a result of collateral held by third parties. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of a single bitcoin was approximately $68,200, causing the fair value of the Company's bitcoin holdings and receivable from collateral on that date to approximate $925 and $112 million, respectively. A 10% increase or decrease in the fair value of bitcoin as of March 31, 2026, would have increased or decreased the total cash value that could be realized if the Company were to sell its bitcoin and related receivables by approximately $104 million in total.

***Market Price Risk of Bitcoin-Linked Derivative Instruments.***

As of March 31, 2026, we held bitcoin-linked derivative liabilities with a combined fair value of approximately $3,786 and bitcoin-linked derivative assets with a combined fair value of $1,499. A 10% change in the fair value of these derivative liabilities, holding all other variables constant, would result in an approximate $379 increase or decrease in the total fair value of the derivatives and a corresponding offset to net loss. Likewise, a 10% change in the fair value of these derivative assets, holding all other variables constant, would result in an approximate $150 increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative assets and a corresponding offset to net loss.

------

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures**

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the six months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

------

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**
