Bitcoin mining firm CleanSpark announced a purchase of 20,000 new ASIC machines on Thursday, after the asset rallied to nearly $25,000 the day prior. 

The new rigs will add 2.44 exahashes per second (EH/s) to its existing computational force of 6.6 EH/s. One exahash equal one quintillion hashes—inputs for solving the complex math problems required to mine new blocks.

That brings the company's total hashrate to 9 EH/s—a 37% rise—comprising 2.8% of the entire Bitcoin network's hash rate, going by current numbers from Bitinfocharts.
