Don’t be fooled. @ewarren has no interest in guardrails, consumer protections, or US competitiveness. she made that clear when she created the anti crypto army.
Her entire political ethos is complete government control because she thinks government knows better than you.

A milestone for CleanSpark: we have closed a $2.276 billion senior secured notes offering, the largest capital raise in our company’s history. I am proud of the team that brought this transaction to the finish line. It took coordination across finance, legal, development and operations, along with the support of our banking partners and investors. Thank you to everyone who played a part.
This financing is an important step as we execute our AI data center strategy. The work now turns to delivering on it. $CLSK

"In Texas, we support and remain fully committed to satisfying Governor Abbott’s audit directive with both ERCOT and the PUCT. As part of that process, we have received notice of conditional classification by ERCOT for 585 MW of contracted capacity to receive batch zero baseload designation and 300 MW to receive batch zero studied load designation, as expected. We look forward to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to serve the needs of Texans while also delivering for our shareholders and customers." $CLSK

China knows the AI race will shape the future.
Now we’re learning Chinese money may be funding groups working to stop the data centers America needs to compete and meet our growing demand for AI.
We cannot let the CCP sabotage American AI dominance from inside our own borders.

Anyone selling a "data center ban" as a win for Texans owes them an explanation for why their bank alerts, GPS, and telehealth would go dark with it.
Texans are being misled to believe banning data centers is a win. But how does that work when the ban unplugs your bank’s fraud alerts, your phone’s GPS, your doctor’s telehealth visit, and the weather warning that could save your family’s life during the next storm? Not to mention your everyday conveniences.
A data center ban doesn’t stop “Big Tech” — it shuts down the critical infrastructure Texas families and businesses use every single day.
Texas needs responsible guardrails, not policies that cut off the digital backbone of modern life.

Great opportunity to discuss the 20 year NNN —NOT modified gross—-data center lease we just completed with a HIGH INVESTMENT GRADE TENANT, giving us financial flexibility at the project level WITHOUT having to rely on equity linked financing. Massive win for $clsk and all @CleanSpark_Inc shareholders. This is the premier lease thus far in the sector.
CleanSpark CEO and Chairman @smatthewschultz discusses the company securing a 20-year, $6.6 billion triple-net lease at its Sandersville, Georgia, campus with an unnamed "high-investment-grade" global tech firm.
He also shares the milestones investors should look for over the next 12 to 24 months with @DianeKingHall.

NEW: The New York Times reports that "China, Russia and, to a lesser extent, Iran have sought to use state media outlets to turn the controversy over data centers in the United States into 'a domestic fracture point.'"
Between Jan. and June, state media from these 3 countries mentioned data centers 700 times.
The NYT report cites BPI's research and highlights the work of Chinese propagandists and "covert Russian information operations" to foment anger against data centers.

AI needs to driven by free markets and free speech rather than by Chinese values of surveillance, espionage, propaganda, and social control.

A Shanghai-based American expatriate who works hand in glove with the CCP is using a network of U.S. nonprofits to foment and amplify American opposition to artificial intelligence in a bid to boost China in the technological arms race.

“We view this as a boots-on-the-ground, hand-to-hand, face-to-face, shoulder-to-shoulder opportunity to take what we believe is a hugely positive economic activity... which is building data centers, mining bitcoin, working on behalf of the intelligent tokens that are required for the future, and go do it.”
The race for global digital infrastructure is on. At @TheBitcoinConf, $CLSK Chief Business Officer @harry_sudock shared his perspective on how the U.S. can win it.

CCP & Communist donors are propping up anti-data center protests.
Malign actors are misinforming & scaring voters into killing facilities that will bring prosperity to towns & secure Americans’ data.
As Public First data shows, it is working—for now. But we’re pushing back.

The Clarity Act is not just a crypto bill. It's a decision about whether America leads the next financial system or watches from the sidelines.

Tremendous honor for @CleanSpark_Inc ‘s very own president and CFO, @GaryVec to be appointed by the comptroller to oversee Texas’ strategic Bitcoin reserve. Over the past several years, Gary has been an incredible leader, advocate and resource for our team, always demonstrating impeccable integrity. I love to see it publicly recognized. Congrats to you, my friend. comptroller.texas.gov/about/…

“If you can design consumption that meets the generation, now you’re monetizing all of that power that’s being generated for the benefit of the community, for the benefit of the utility, because that revenue would otherwise go unrealized.”
