WE GOT THE DEAL - $6.6bn Sandersville
CleanSpark just dropped the announcement. Here are the key numbers:
The deal
• 20-year triple-net (NNN) lease with a high-investment-grade global technology company
• $6.6 billion contracted revenue over the initial 20-year term
• $11.6 billion if both five-year extension options are exercised
• 175MW of critical IT load, first deliveries Q4 2027
• Average annual NOI of \~$330 million at nearly 100% margin
• Development cost of $10-12M per MW — disciplined relative to peers
The kicker everyone needs to focus on
The tenant has signed a letter of intent and exclusivity arrangement covering CleanSpark’s entire Texas portfolio — 718 acres, up to 885MW across Sealy and Brazoria. Sandersville is explicitly described as “the first chapter of a substantially larger relationship.”
This is not a single site deal. Total relationship value if Texas executes could approach $15-20 billion.
How it compares to peers
• Longer duration than any comparable deal in the sector (20 years vs typical 10-15)
• Triple-net structure means \~100% NOI margin — exceptional
• Texas exclusivity LOI puts this in a different category to Core Scientific, TeraWulf, and Hut 8 announcements
• Morgan Stanley advised — institutional quality execution
The tenant
Still confidential. High-investment-grade global technology company. Conference call today at 11am ET — analysts will push hard on identity.
