IREN announced the purchase of more than 50,000 NVIDIA B300 GPUs to expand its AI cloud capabilities. This acquisition increases the company's total fleet to 150,000 units. Management projects the expansion will generate over $3.7 billion in annualized AI cloud revenue by the end of 2026.
The company increased its at-the-market equity program from $1 billion to $6 billion to finance the growth. Proceeds will fund GPU acquisitions and related data center construction. This move signals an aggressive strategic pivot from Bitcoin mining toward AI infrastructure services.
Market reaction to the announcements remained mixed. IREN shares initially surged nearly 13% following the GPU expansion news. The stock later faced downward pressure as the $6 billion capital raise sparked investor concerns regarding shareholder dilution.
