CleanSpark ($CLSK) CEO & Chairman, Matt Schultz on Building a “Token Factory” Through Energy, Bitcoin Mining, and AI

Matt Schultz, CEO & Chairman of CleanSpark ($CLSK), sits down to trace his journey building CleanSpark into a leading U.S. Bitcoin mining company, and now an energy platform expanding into AI/HPC data centers. Schultz shares the story of going public via reverse merger, explains CleanSpark’s “monetize megawatts” strategy across Bitcoin and AI compute, and addresses common retail misconceptions around long-term execution and shareholder alignment.

Highlights Include:

• From gasification to Bitcoin to AI: CleanSpark’s evolution has always been rooted in monetizing energy infrastructure

• 2022 Bitcoin sale: Reinvesting at the peak into infrastructure while peers levered up created long-term advantage

• Bitcoin + AI: A complementary model balancing grid flexibility with durable, long-term compute contracts

• Long-term execution: Scalable data center strategy and disciplined contracts drive sustainable growth
