CleanSpark Joins the Bitcoin Whale Club 🐋

In corporate adoption news, CleanSpark has accumulated over 10,000 BTC, claiming fourth place among corporate holders. This 236% year-over-year increase reflects a broader trend: corporate Bitcoin treasuries more than doubled in 2024, now approaching 600,000 BTC total.
