Nvidia Partnership Details
The companies plan to support the deployment of as much as 5 gigawatts of Nvidia DSX-aligned AI infrastructure across IREN’s global data center pipeline over time, with the goal of expanding compute access for AI-native companies, startups and enterprise customers.
IREN granted Nvidia a five-year right to buy up to 30 million ordinary shares at $70 per share, giving Nvidia the ability to invest up to $2.1 billion, subject to regulatory and other conditions.
“AI factories are becoming foundational infrastructure for the global economy,” said Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia.
“Deploying these systems at scale requires deep integration across the full stack — compute, networking, software, power and operations. IREN brings the scale and infrastructure expertise to help accelerate the buildout of next-generation AI infrastructure globally. Together, we are building for the age of AI,” Huang added.
IREN Q3 Details
IREN reported quarterly revenue of $144.8 million, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $223.393 million by 35.18%, according to Benzinga Pro data.
This is a 21.6% decrease from revenue of $184.7 million in the same period last year.
IREN said lower revenues were driven by the lower average Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) price combined with the decommissioning of mining hardware ahead of GPU installation and billing, partially offset by an increase in AI Cloud revenue.
Cost of revenues decreased by $25.9 million, primarily driven by lower electricity cost resulting from reduced Bitcoin mining capacity.
“The world is structurally short compute, and the bottleneck is delivered data center and GPU capacity,” said Daniel Roberts, Co-CEO of IREN.
“That plays directly into IREN’s core strengths — securing power, developing land, building data centers and bringing compute online at scale,” Roberts added.
IREN Stock Price: According to data from Benzinga Pro, IREN stock was up 6.63% to $60.62 in Thursday’s extended trading.
