Analysis · IREN · Crypto Assets
A $2.8 billion haul of new multi-year cloud contracts with top AI developers has pushed IREN's year-end 2026 annualized run-rate revenue target above $4 billion, up from $3.7 billion. With 85% of that target already under contract and customer prepayments covering nearly half the GPU capex, the company is converting its massive infrastructure buildout into locked-in, high-quality revenue faster than expected. This is the strongest signal yet that IREN's pivot to AI cloud services is gaining real commercial traction, not just capacity announcements.
