CleanSpark reported $8.017 million in premium proceeds from 9,400 Bitcoin-equivalent call contracts in the June quarter, with average contract terms built around strikes above the Bitcoin price at entry.

CryptoSlate reports that CleanSpark’s corporate Bitcoin treasury activity shows how options and other structures can create conditional supply that is not obvious from reported “coins held” alone.

For the three months ending June 30, CleanSpark put 9,400 Bitcoin-equivalent call contracts through Spot+, a strategy tied to ongoing sales from its corporate treasury. In its Aug. 6 quarterly filing for the period ended June 30, the company reported $8.017 million in premium proceeds from those calls, with Bitcoin averaging $68,766 when the contracts were entered versus an average strike price of $76,383.

The outlet notes that because Bitcoin-equivalent figures can reflect trading flow rather than only balance-sheet holdings, corporate treasury analysis can miss how rights over coins, capped upside, or settlement choices may be conditioned through derivatives and secured lending.

CryptoSlate also highlights CleanSpark’s reconciliation details around the accounting boundary. CleanSpark reported 12,205 Bitcoin held at June 30, and a separate receivable for 1,719 Bitcoin posted to derivative trading counterparties, which aligned with its July 7 operational update showing 13,924 Bitcoin in total when including the 1,719 as collateral or receivable. The filing also disclosed June settlement outcomes, including 250 Bitcoin sold through call exercises, 25 acquired through put exercises, and 244 acquired through a delta-neutral basis trade, alongside additional proceeds and fair value figures tied to the derivative activity.
