In short: Referenced only — a sell-side upgrade he agrees with but doesn't own. "JPMorgan upgraded Iren to overweight and raises its price… to 65 from 46, saying the company is emerging as a top-tier neo-cloud provider. And we think that Iren is one of the better ones versus Mara… while we don't own Iren, we own one of its competitors in the alerts."

In short: A completed pivot the market declined to pay for. "IREN detailed a pivot from Bitcoin mining to AI compute, reporting 1 billion in operating ARR and securing 2.8 billion in GPU debt financing. The stock still didn't really outperform." The deck's numbers show why it is genuinely two-sided: Q4 revenue $137.2M in line but adjusted EBITDA $19.2M against $41.1M expected, a full-year net loss of $702.6M including $638.8M of impairments from decommissioning mining hardware — against AI Cloud revenue up roughly 8× to $128.8M, $4B of contracted 2026 ARR with 2026 capacity largely sold out, capacity to 0.3 GW in 2026 and 0.8 GW in 2027, $14B of cash and committed financing, and recent three-year contract pricing up 125%. The conversion cost is real and reported today; the contracted revenue is real and reported later.
IREN was a Bitcoin miner. It owned buildings full of specialised computers and, crucially, contracts for large amounts of electricity — which turns out to be the scarcest input in AI. It has been converting those sites to rent computing capacity to AI companies instead, and this week reported $1 billion of annualised revenue already running and $2.8 billion of new borrowing secured against the graphics chips themselves.
"The stock still didn't really outperform," and the accounts show why the market hesitated. The quarter's profit came in at less than half what was expected, and the full year carried a $702 million loss including $638 million of write-offs for scrapping the old mining hardware. Conversion is expensive and the cost lands now.
The other side is contractual and lands later: AI cloud revenue up roughly eightfold, $4 billion of contracted revenue for 2026 capacity that is already largely sold out, capacity rising from 0.3 gigawatts next year to 0.8 in 2027, $14 billion of cash and committed finance, and recent three-year contracts priced 125% higher than before.
This is the general shape of every miner-turned-AI-landlord: a real, contracted, multi-year revenue stream sitting behind an income statement that currently shows the demolition costs.

In short: Named with Nebius and CoreWeave as the neo-clouds that benefit from Meta's compute-resale disclosure — existing capacity is "extremely valuable" because the industry has structurally underbuilt.
IREN is another operator that rents out AI computing capacity. It is named alongside Nebius and CoreWeave as a beneficiary of the same disclosure: the industry has structurally underbuilt for AI demand, so whoever already has running capacity can charge a premium for it.

In short: NVIDIA's "AI factories go physical" partner — up to 5GW of DSX-aligned infrastructure across IREN's data-center pipeline, plus a 5-year right to buy 30M IREN shares at $70 (stock below that → an upside kicker, not a near-term investment).
IREN builds and runs data centers (it started in crypto mining and pivoted toward AI infrastructure). NVIDIA partnered with it to deploy up to 5 gigawatts of AI gear — a huge amount of power capacity — and the real lesson here is that the scarce resource is no longer the chips themselves but the physical stuff around them: electricity, land, cooling, and the know-how to run it all.
The interesting twist: NVIDIA didn't buy IREN shares outright. It took a five-year right ("warrant") to buy up to 30 million IREN shares at $70 each. The stock currently trades below $70, so that right is worthless today — it only becomes valuable if IREN does well and the share price climbs above $70. It's an upside kicker: NVIDIA shares in IREN's success if the partnership works, while paying nothing now if it doesn't.
In short: #2, +261.1% — data centres on low-cost renewable power, "shifted from being known mainly as a Bitcoin miner to becoming a fast-growing AI cloud infrastructure provider." The re-rating has a single named cause: "a multi-year AI cloud contract with Microsoft worth about $9.7 billion. Sounds exactly like Nebius, right?" Slegers' own aside follows: "do you start to see a correlation between AI and the best performers of the year?"
