Why CleanSpark Chose Submer for AI Infrastructure Growth

CleanSpark, America’s Bitcoin Miner, has selected Submer, one of the global leaders in liquid-cooling and sustainable data centre solutions, as its first strategic partner for the company’s AI data centre growth across North America.

The news follows CleanSpark's announcement which stated it recognises Georgia as a key expansion region for the company as well as the acquisition of land in Houston, Austin Texas and 285MW to support the upcoming development of an AI data centre.

Matt Schultz, CEO and Chairman of CleanSpark, says: “This acquisition marks a major milestone in CleanSpark’s strategic business evolution.

“Securing power and land at this scale in one of the nation’s most attractive markets positions us to meet the accelerating demand for AI compute while continuing to deliver long-term value for our shareholders. 

“We continue to lead in bitcoin mining, are actively reviewing AI conversion opportunities across our existing portfolio and have now entered the Texas market with a site purpose-acquired for an AI campus.”

Collaboration for intelligent compute design

Their partnership combines Submer’s liquid cooling technology design and integrated capabilities with CleanSpark's gigawatt-scale energy and site portfolio in order to deliver high performing AI data centres to meet the growing demand for intelligent compute.

Much like CleanSpark's drive into Texas, the collaboration highlights the company’s growth beyond bitcoin mining and into high performance compute.

Patrick Smets, CEO of Submer, says: “This collaboration represents a pivotal step toward scaling AI infrastructure globally. 

“CleanSpark’s unmatched expertise in site development, power strategy and large-scale infrastructure delivery and operations combined with Submer’s ability to design and deploy high-density AI environments rapidly and efficiently, creates a new blueprint for sustainable, high-performance AI compute at scale. 

“Together, we’re building the industrial foundation for the Age of Intelligence and building the infrastructure that will sustain it.”

Evolving as a company

As CleanSpark grows and continues to evolve from a Bitcoin mining company to an up and coming leader in AI infrastructure, the partnership marks a new model for power-efficient, sustainable AI deployment. 

Working together, the two companies are developing a full-stack infrastructure platform which combines AI service delivery, power generation and data centre construction. As a result this enables faster, cleaner and greater scalable capacity growth.

Jeffrey Thomas, CleanSpark’s Senior Vice President of AI Datacenters, says: “Working in conjunction with accomplished technical partners is critical for successful tenant and customer relationships. Submer already has received approvals for its designs for leading reference architectures. 

“Working with Submer accelerates our capability and ability to scale at pace and we look to conclude definitive agreements in the coming weeks.”

How the strategic partnership targets gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure

The collaboration combines CleanSpark’s 3GW portfolio of US land holdings and power infrastructure currently in development with Submer’s integrated liquid cooling technology stack. 

Submer brings complete design and deployment capabilities, including immersion cooling systems, power distribution modules and turnkey facility engineering services.

CleanSpark and Submer aims to deliver high-density AI computing facilities optimised for both operational efficiency and environmental performance. 

Initial deployments are scheduled for North America, with roadmap expansion targeting European, Middle Eastern and Indian markets to serve hyperscale operators, hardware OEMs and sovereign computing programs.
