Another quarterly update completed for $IREN.

We published our Q2 update earlier today, and interest was strong enough to briefly overwhelm the site at release. If you missed the deck, it’s available here:
👉 iren.gcs-web.com/static-files/0…

The past few months have seen continued progress across capacity, customers, and capital. Demand remains the strongest we’ve seen and, importantly, we’re building the infrastructure and capital structure required to deliver against it.

We’re still at an early stage of our AI Cloud build-out, but have already scaled ARR under contract to more than $2.3bn. Our $3.4bn ARR target utilizes only a portion of our now 4.5GW secured power portfolio.

More detail below 👇
1/ Capital
We secured $3.6bn of committed GPU financing for the Microsoft contract at <6% p.a. Combined with the $1.9bn Microsoft prepayment, that covers ~95% of GPU-related capex at an average interest cost just over 3%.
2/ Expansion
Deployment of 140k GPUs remains on track, supporting our $3.4bn ARR target by the end of 2026. Demand across hyperscale and enterprise customers continues to build.
3/ Execution
Construction across Horizon 1–4 remains aligned with Microsoft deployment timelines. Ongoing sequencing of data center delivery and GPU installs continues to be a focus.
4/ British Columbia
Fit-outs for NVIDIA B200/B300 deployments at Prince George are complete and awaiting remaining GPU deliveries. The ASIC-to-GPU transition at Mackenzie and Canal Flats is progressing alongside active customer discussions.
5/ Power portfolio
We added a new 1.6GW site in Oklahoma, taking total secured power to 4.5GW. Fully secured power remains scarce, and this scale supports ongoing customer engagement.
6/ Consistency
What’s been consistent for us is execution. We’ve delivered data center capacity on time and at scale over multiple cycles, and customers continue to value reliability as much as performance.

$IREN July power costs were very high and managing our #1 expense is front of mind as we build out our 750MW Childress site.

A thread 🧵
2/ Regular and transparent detail

- One of the benefits of detailed monthly reporting is the ability to engage in quality discussion with our investors around some of the nuances we see day to day in our business.

- Off the back of our July monthly report, I wanted to share some additional perspectives on our power strategy.
3/ Understanding the mechanics of our current approach

- We currently lock in fixed power prices via short-term forward contracts, procured via competitive tender.

- If and when spot power prices subsequently spike, our algorithms automatically sell that power back to the market to reduce our overall monthly power cost.

- This is an approach that has also helped mitigate risk as we moved into the Texas market and proved up our curtailment systems with a 20MW data center. i.e. our maximum power price exposure would be the hedge price rather than $5000/MWh.

After market close today, one of the Wall St banks asked us to deliver a presentation on Datacenters & Bitcoin Mining. Over 200 investors dialed in 👀

A thread... 🧵 $IREN Image
2/ Overview of IREN’s business model and assets (including magnitude of grid access):
- 260MW of data centers across 4 sites (3 BC, 1 TX), scaling to 510MW in 2024
- support a combination of Bitcoin mining and AI Cloud Services workloads
o 10 EH/s Bitcoin mining, scaling to 30 EH/s in 2024 – one of the largest listed miners
o 816 NVIDIA H100 GPUs providing cloud services to AI customers
- Significant pipeline of sites and access to energy – >3GW portfolio, including a 1.4GW site in West Texas where a connection is underway (2026 in-service date)Image
3/ For projects under development, can you please describe where you stand in terms of securing key agreements and approvals?
- Childress: 100MW operating, scaling to 350MW this year, 600MW total power available
- 1.4 GW development site: >500 acres in renewables heavy West-Texas, connection agreement signed, 2026 in-service date, can support various applications
- >1GW of additional pipeline: various stages of development

Thread time... 🧵 (my first)

Imagine playing a game of monopoly where someone periodically tips more money onto the board and then occasionally takes some off...

1/n
It’d make it reasonably hard to concentrate! If you wanted to win, you’d probably get as close as possible to that person and try to get a larger share of those handouts. That person also wouldn’t want to take too much money or they’ll have some pretty grumpy friends…

2/n
Imagine the level of concentration and productivity if we went back to commodity-backed money that wasn’t printed out of thin air. No more manipulation and fairer rules for everybody.

3/n
