On June 22, CleanSpark rose 9.25% in regular trading, trading at $18.76 USD/share, with turnover of $133 million.

The sharp move comes amid extremely elevated short interest in the stock. Data shows approximately 84.06 million shares were shorted as of mid-May, representing 33.45% of the float, with the ratio climbing further to 36.6% by end of April. This level of short positioning ranks among the highest across mid-to-large capitalization companies and creates conditions for rapid upside moves when buying pressure emerges.

Additionally, the broader investment narrative around Bitcoin miners pivoting toward AI infrastructure continues to attract institutional attention. Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness Fund recently disclosed holdings in peer companies including IREN Limited and Core Scientific, underscoring market interest in miners that possess scarce permitted power capacity and data center infrastructure increasingly valued for AI workloads.

Within the Application Software sector, Strategy rose 3.72%, AppLovin Corporation gained 1.36%, Salesforce.com added 0.45%, while Palantir Technologies fell 1.3% and IREN Ltd declined 0.23%.
