Needham Raises CleanSpark Price Target on Hyperscaler Talks: Is the Bitcoin...
Needham raised its price target on CleanSpark (NASDAQ:CLSK | CLSK Price Prediction) stock to $18 from $17 while maintaining a Buy rating, after meeting with management on Monday, May 4. The catalyst: CleanSpark indicated it is in “advanced discussions” with a direct investment-grade (IG) hyperscaler customer for its data center capacity.
For investors, the price target raised by Needham reframes CleanSpark stock from a pure Bitcoin proxy into a potential artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure host. A signed deal could re-rate the shares, but the agreement isn’t done yet.
According to Needham, CleanSpark’s hyperscaler conversations have notably progressed since earlier in fiscal year 2026, with only a few sticking points still in negotiations. That puts CleanSpark in the running to convert raw megawatts into long-duration tenant revenue.
The pivot is backed by infrastructure scale. CleanSpark’s portfolio now exceeds 1.8 GW of power, land, and data center capacity, including up to 890 MW of utility-grade power capacity in the Houston region and an advancing Sandersville, Georgia site for AI tenancy.
CleanSpark is one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) miners, with FY2025 revenue of $766.31 million and adjusted EBITDA of $823.37 million. The company surpassed 50 EH/s of operational hashrate in June 2025, with roughly 6% of global hashrate under management.
