The massive category 4 hurricane has killed at least 137 people, and many more are still missing — while millions of homes and businesses remain without power.
United States Bitcoin mining firm CleanSpark says it is still working to turn the power back on across all its facilities in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene — which saw devastating flooding, power outages and widespread damage across several US states.
The Bitcoin miner’s hashrate briefly fell from 28 exahashes per second to 10.5 EH/s when it was forced to shut down 365 MW at the southeast Georgia site shortly after the hurricane started on Sept. 27.
However, CleanSpark has managed to turn 200 MW back online since then, increasing its current operating hash rate to 22 EH/s, CleanSpark’s CEO Zach Bradford noted in a Sept. 30 statement.
