“CleanSpark succeeded in its bid to purchase ATL Data Centers last December because of CleanSpark’s proven track record in energy, which is the backbone of cryptocurrency mining,” Bradford added.

“We also shared a common belief with Bernardo on the importance of renewable and carbon free energy sources to support the future of the blockchain.”

Schucman, who has more than seven years of Bitcoin mining and cryptocurrency data center operations experience, served most recently as CEO of ATL Data Centers before ATL was acquired by CleanSpark.

Schucman will oversee CleanSpark’s Bitcoin mining and data center operations.

Based in Bountiful, Utah, CleanSpark has developed software to help companies and homes become more energy-efficient and is also involved in Bitcoin mining.

The company designs and builds microgrids while providing engineering, consulting and turn-key implementation services. It also offers software for energy monitoring and system controls.
