CleanSpark Seeks $2.23B Junk Bond for Meta-Linked AI Data Center

Sep 17, 2026 16:25 ET · Sep 17, 2026

TREE NEWS reports: CleanSpark Inc. is seeking to raise about $2.23 billion in its first junk bond sale to fund AI infrastructure tied to Meta Platforms Inc. The five-year notes are being discussed at an initial yield of roughly 8.5%, about 2 percentage points above the average yield on BB-rated corporate debt tracked by Bloomberg, as investors demand a higher risk premium for data center financing. Orders at Thursday’s launch were roughly equal to the deal size, and it marks the first Meta data center-linked junk bond issue.

AI take

This is a notable shift for a bitcoin miner: CleanSpark is testing capital markets as a data center landlord rather than a pure hash-rate play, and the roughly 2-point spread over BB corporates shows lenders are pricing that pivot as higher risk. The Meta link gives the deal credibility, but the fact that order books only matched deal size — rather than being heavily oversubscribed — suggests demand is selective, not frothy. Whether this spread becomes the benchmark for future AI data center junk issuance is the open question.
