This filing reveals IREN Limited's significant strategic advancements in its AI Cloud platform, highlighted by a new $3.4 billion, five-year contract with NVIDIA for Blackwell GPUs and a broader 5GW strategic partnership. Crucially, NVIDIA has been granted a five-year right to purchase up to 30 million ordinary shares at an exercise price of $70 per share, representing a potential $2.1 billion investment at a premium to the current stock price, signaling strong institutional confidence. These developments, along with the acquisitions of Mirantis and Nostrum, solidify IREN's position in the AI infrastructure ecosystem and provide substantial future revenue and capacity. While the company reported a decrease in Q3 FY26 revenue and a wider net loss, primarily due to the ongoing transition from Bitcoin mining and non-cash impairments, the long-term strategic implications of these partnerships and capital commitments are overwhelmingly positive and validate the company's transformational shift.
