IREN Doubles AI Cloud to 23k GPUs, Raises AI Cloud ARR Target to >$500m

September 22, 2025 at 07:00 AM EDT

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN) (“IREN”) today announced it has doubled its AI Cloud capacity to 23k GPUs following the procurement of an additional 12.4k GPUs, and is now targeting more than $500m in AI Cloud annualized run-rate revenue (ARR) by Q1 2026.¹

To meet rising demand, IREN has purchased 7.1k NVIDIA B300s, 4.2k NVIDIA B200s and 1.1k AMD MI350Xs for approximately $674m.² The order reflects a growing trend of customers contracting capacity ahead of delivery, with IREN in discussions for multi-thousand Blackwell clusters.

Deliveries will be staged over the coming months at IREN’s Prince George campus and are expected to support the >$500m AI Cloud ARR target by the end of Q1 2026.¹ The expanded fleet will total approximately 23k GPUs:

1.9k NVIDIA H100s & H200s
19.1k NVIDIA B200s & B300s
1.2k NVIDIA GB300s
1.1k AMD MI350Xs

The addition of AMD hardware alongside further NVIDIA GPUs broadens IREN’s offering and addressable market.

AI Cloud demand continues to outpace global supply, with a growing appetite among customers to contract capacity ahead of commissioning.

IREN is well positioned to capture this demand, with its British Columbia campuses capable of supporting more than 60k Blackwell GPUs³, in addition to its Texas data centers. Financing workstreams are underway to support this growth, with any impact to IREN’s Bitcoin mining capacity expected to be mitigated by redeploying ASICs to other sites.

“As global demand for compute accelerates, customers are increasingly seeking partners who can deliver scale quickly,” said Daniel Roberts, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of IREN.

“Doubling our fleet to more than 23,000 GPUs in just a few months highlights the strength of our vertically integrated platform and our ability to meet urgent, long-term demand. The shift toward pre-contracting ahead of delivery provides further momentum for the growth of our AI Cloud business.”

Assumptions and Notes

AI Cloud ARR is calculated as GPU/hour pricing for contracted GPUs multiplied by 8,760 hours per year. ARR of >$500m is presented as an illustrative run-rate measure of potential revenue based on a ~23k GPU deployment and internal company assumptions regarding utilization and GPU pricing. It is not fully contracted, there can be no assurance that it will be achieved, and actual revenue may differ materially. Assumes on time delivery and commissioning of GPUs.
Includes CPUs, storage, network fees and onsite services.
>60k Blackwell GPUs reflects internal estimate of capacity based on 160MW power capacity across British Columbia sites, 1.1 power usage effectiveness and NVIDIA B200 reference architecture.
