Quick Read

  • CleanSpark sinks 6% while MARA holds flat despite a 7% Bitcoin rally, as investors reprice the miner-to-AI-landlord pivot with growing skepticism.

  • Riot Platforms' $9.1B Anthropic deal failed to hold a 20% initial gain, while miner ETF WGMI fell 3% on Bitcoin's surge.

  • CleanSpark's $6.6B Sandersville lease remains a promise, not cash, as its mining revenue fell 30% and EBITDA swung deeply negative.

  • Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Marathon Digital didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

A rare split is opening up inside the Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) miner cohort on Friday, and it isn't about the coin. CleanSpark (NASDAQ:CLSK) stock is down 6% to $11.84 in Friday morning trading, taking the worst of the selling.

Meanwhile, MARA Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) stock is essentially unchanged, down 0.1% to $11.14, holding up as the group's outlier against CleanSpark's drop. Notably, Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) is up 7% over the past 24 hours to $77,740.82, which rules out crypto weakness as the explanation.

That disconnect is the story. Investors are repricing the miner-to-AI-landlord pivot rather than the coin, and CleanSpark is taking the brunt.
