As the New Year gets underway, the opportunity ahead for $IREN and energy-intensive computing has never been clearer. Model capability keeps accelerating, AI adoption is broadening, and demand for compute is rising faster than most expected. When Will and I set out to build this business 7 years ago, we had a simple goal: to create a data center platform capable of supporting the next generation of energy-intensive computing. From the start, we designed the platform with a wide range of use cases in mind, including machine learning, video rendering, and what would eventually become today’s AI workloads. 7 years on, we’re still executing against that same core strategy - now with a substantial portfolio of operating data centers, a clear growth pathway ahead, and a world-class construction and operations team with deep expertise in this rapidly evolving industry. We initially bootstrapped the platform through Bitcoin mining and are now leveraging our data center footprint to support a growing set of high-growth, energy-intensive computing applications. We’ve always stayed agnostic to the end use case, because we believe the greatest long-term value sits in owning and operating the real-world infrastructure behind these technologies: the power, the data centers, and the compute. The picks and shovels of the digital age. The progress we’ve made reflects the incredible effort of teams across IREN, working day and night to deliver on our commitments, as well as the support of our partners - including @Microsoft, @togethercompute, @nvidia, @Dell, @fluidstack, and @FireworksAI_HQ, to name a few. As 2026 begins, we’re proud of how far we’ve come - but even more excited about what’s ahead!





$IREN - $1M Call buyer

The pace of progress at Childress is accelerating! Just months after breaking ground, Horizon 1 electrical and mechanical works are well underway, Horizon 2 data halls are rising, Horizon 3-4 civils have commenced, and more than 1,200 workers are active on site bringing this next wave of AI infrastructure to life. All of this keeps us firmly on track to deliver GPU superclusters for @Microsoft throughout 2026!
