IREN’s latest revenue hit $137.2 million, and its AI cloud revenue doubled directly.
Previously, the market was arguing about a possible mismatch in the GPU depreciation cycle—fearing that demand might not support the scale of compute capacity investment. But one interpretation suggests that in the financial report, the contract pricing for a three-year term rose by 125%, cutting the payback period to two years—meaning the GPUs being sold are backed by orders, not “naked exposure.” Of course, this specific item currently comes from a single source, so the original wording in the earnings report still needs to be confirmed.
And what about the fact that Bitcoin rebounded by 23%, with the whole mining sector outperforming AI stocks? IREN has both mining rigs and an AI cloud service—two engines running at the same time.
The question is: how long can those high-priced AI orders last? If Bitcoin pulls back, will the market start pricing it again using “mining stocks”?
