IREN is trading 5.29% up now at $45.98, driven by optimism that bitcoin miners can transition into AI data-center infrastructure after Riot Platforms’ Anthropic compute agreement.

  • The move extends IREN’s 9.86% gain on August 12; data-center operators broadly strengthened, supporting a sector-led continuation.
  • Bitcoin is down 1.26% and Ethereum down 1.79% over 24 hours, so crypto prices are not validating the rally.
