$23 BILLION Balance Sheet FLEX! 🤯
IREN just pulled off a major financial overhaul, raising $23 billion and using it to repurchase debt.
This isn't just routine finance; it's a massive move that signals de-risking and financial strength in the often-volatile crypto mining sector. By cleaning up their balance sheet and raising substantial capital, IREN is positioning itself for major expansion and durability, regardless of short-term market turbulence.
The takeaway: When institutional players make moves this big, it suggests confidence in the long-term future of the industry. Are we seeing the next phase of maturity for Bitcoin miners?

IREN Secures $3.6B in Fresh Capital Amid Market Volatility
IREN has raised $3.6 billion this week: $2B in new convertible notes and $1.6B from a sale of common stock. It intends to use the proceeds for retiring deeply in-the-money convertibles and to fund capped call transactions.
Shares responded by shedding 15% on Tuesday, now down almost 50% from the record high reached last month, although early Wednesday trading reflects a modest recovery.
Jim Cramer notably warned investors about companies announcing new financings, calling out IREN as one example of “late-cycle” behavior reminiscent of 1999–2000. For IREN, however, this huge capital raise enables them to repurchase $544M of old convertibles and decrease dilution to ensure long-term strategic flexibility.
From bitcoin mining to AI compute, IREN is making bold moves to strengthen its financial position as it navigates a turbulent market environment.

Fresh Capital Market Volume 😁
The Cramer Curse Just Wiped Out Half A Miner's Value 💀
$IREN just secured a colossal $3.6 billion capital raise, yet the stock is in freefall. The market immediately priced in a brutal sell-off following Jim Cramer’s explicit 'Sell' recommendation. This supposed AI compute transition, moving away from pure $BTC mining, could not save them. We are watching a near 50% collapse in 30 days. This volatility is a severe warning shot for every mining firm trying to pivot to AI right now.

CRAMER CURSE STRIKES: AI MINER DOWN 50%
$IREN is in freefall. They just completed a staggering $3.6 billion capital raise, attempting a hard pivot from mining $BTC to AI compute. But the market just violently rejected the move. After Tuesday's massive dump, the stock is now down nearly 50% in 30 days. Jim Cramer delivered the sell recommendation, and the curse proved instant. This rapid collapse shows how brutal the market is toward miners attempting to shift their business model. Watch for contagion across the mining sector.

Company #IREN , which builds infrastructure for Bitcoin mining $BTC and data centers, announced its intention to raise up to $2 billion through a private placement of convertible bonds.
This concerns the issuance of $1 billion in convertible bonds maturing in 2032 and $1 billion in bonds maturing in 2033, the company reported. Additionally, initial buyers may redeem up to $300 million in bonds of both series.
This category of securities will be unsecured and interest-bearing, and investors will be able to convert them into common shares of IREN or demand cash redemption under certain conditions. The company will also have the option to redeem the bonds early if its stock price exceeds 130% of the conversion price.
At the same time, IREN plans to conduct a stock issuance in the format of a registered direct offering to finance the buyback of part of the existing debt instruments — convertible bonds from 2029 and 2030.

Iren Goes All In on AI: Its Cloud Expansion Excites… But Worries JPMorgan
📅 November 7 | Sydney, Australia
While most Bitcoin mining companies are cutting costs, Iren (formerly known as Iris Energy) decided to do the opposite: double down on its investment in artificial intelligence. This week, the Australian company announced a massive expansion of its cloud infrastructure for training AI models, seeking to diversify its revenue streams beyond mining.
📖 Founded in 2018 as a green mining company, Iren built its reputation on data centers powered by renewable energy in Australia and Canada. During Bitcoin's 2021 boom, Iren was listed on Nasdaq and managed hundreds of megawatts of capacity. But when the crypto market crashed, the company had to reinvent itself. And he did so by betting on a new craze: artificial intelligence.
According to The Block, Iren is reconfiguring part of its infrastructure to offer cloud computing services, taking advantage of its access to cheap energy and highly efficient data centers. The goal is clear: to become a capacity provider for startups and tech giants training AI models.
In its latest report, the company reported a significant expansion of its NVIDIA H100 GPU fleet, the most in-demand hardware on the market. Iren plans to offer these resources through its Iren AI Cloud platform, which aims to compete with names like CoreWeave or Lambda.
However, JPMorgan warned that this transition will not be without its challenges. The bank estimates that capital expenditures on infrastructure could reduce profit margins in the coming quarters, putting pressure on cash flow.
In their words:
“Expansion into the cloud opens up long-term opportunities, but will involve financial strain in the short term as the company executes its transition.”
Despite the warning, market enthusiasm is palpable. Iren's shares rose more than 12% this week, driven by growing interest in companies with exposure to AI. The narrative has shifted: Iren is no longer just a Bitcoin miner, but a hybrid player seeking to combine the power of blockchain and artificial intelligence.
This shift marks a new trend: several firms in the crypto sector are diversifying into AI to survive in an environment of volatile prices and tight margins. But, as always, technological revolutions come at a cost… and with risk.
Topic Opinion:
A prime example of smart adaptation: shifting from relying on Bitcoin's price to offering computing services for artificial intelligence is a strategic leap. But JPMorgan's warning makes sense. Rapid growth often demands more capital than it seems, and in a high-interest-rate environment, the financial risk is real.
Even so, I believe the future of mining companies lies in this: reinvent or disappear. Iren is betting big… and if it plays well, it could become a model for the entire industry.

Dan Roberts, founder of the mining company #IREN , listed on the exchange #Nasdaq , called #BTC a proven asset class and confirmed his recent forecast for the price of the first cryptocurrency by 2030.
🟢 The businessman suggested calculating: if we divide the market capitalization #золота at $19.3 trillion by the limited supply of bitcoin at 21 million coins, it will amount to about $900,000. Therefore, it is quite likely that this mark #биткоин can be reached by 2030

Bitcoin mining company IREN raises 450 million USD in convertible bonds: A transformation into a new force
IREN (formerly Iris Energy), a Bitcoin mining company, has successfully raised 450 million USD through a convertible bond issuance maturing in 2030, with an attractive interest rate of only 3.25% per year. This capital will be used to limit equity dilution, repurchase outstanding shares, and most importantly, expand AI data centers.
The attraction of significant cash flow is not coincidental. The company operates large data centers in the US and Canada with a total connected capacity of up to 2,910 MW.

IREN's $9.7 billion deal with Microsoft redefines what a Bitcoin mining company can be
Sometimes, one deal can change everything. For #IREN , that moment has just arrived.
The company, which was once seen as merely a Bitcoin mining powerhouse, is advancing to an entirely different level - a level where mining machines and AI servers share the same heartbeat. Its announcement of a $9.7 billion GPU cloud contract with Microsoft represents not only a milestone for IREN but a signal for the entire digital infrastructure field: the line between cryptocurrency mining and AI computing is officially fading.
