What else is known? To be included in the S&P SmallCap 600 by credit rating agency S&P Global Ratings, a company must have a capitalization in the range of $1 billion to $7,4 billion and positive financial results for the most recent quarter and cumulatively for the last four quarters.

As for CleanSpark, the company reported revenues of $162,3 million in Q4 2024, a 120% year-over-year increase.
