This episode focus extensively on the landmark $9.7 billion, five-year AI cloud services contract between IREN, a former bitcoin miner, and Microsoft. This major agreement involves IREN providing Microsoft with access to NVIDIA GB300 GPUs hosted in its Texas data centers, signaling a significant pivot by IREN from cryptocurrency mining to high-performance AI infrastructure. The deal, which includes a 20% prepayment from Microsoft and a separate $5.8 billion GPU procurement deal with Dell Technologies, caused IREN's stock price to surge dramatically. However, some sources introduce skepticism regarding IREN's valuation and insider stock sales, while one report highlights the broader environmental concerns about Microsoft's massive and rapidly increasing energy demand for AI data centers and its reliance on fossil fuel grids. Overall, the texts analyze the financial implications and industry shift represented by this collaboration, positioning IREN as a major new player in the "neocloud" sector.
