How we checked this
Checked on September 29, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
Item 1 of the 10-K describes the April 26, 2016 agreement and the patent. The filing elsewhere misprints the number as 8,342,829, but the Item 1 text matches the claim.
Confirmed in the source:
- CleanSpark entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with James Harper on April 26, 2016
- Under that agreement CleanSpark acquired U.S. Patent No. 8,347,829
