Summary
AI Cloud contract expansion and raised 2026 ARR target. IREN signed multi-year cloud services contracts with leading AI developers worth $2.8B in total contract value, bringing approximately 85% of its year-end AI Cloud ARR target under contract. It raised that target from $3.7B to more than $4B.
Key Figures
- New contracts: $2.8B total contract value; customer prepayments for recent contracts represent approximately 45% of associated GPU capital expenditure, reducing IREN’s net funding requirement for those deployments.
- Contract portfolio: approximately 4-year weighted average term. Demand exceeds available and planned capacity, and IREN is engaged with customers across its 2026 and 2027 expansion program.
- Cash and cash equivalents: approximately $7.6B as of 6/30/2026, unaudited and preliminary, including $1.7B of restricted cash tied to GPU financing for the Microsoft contract.
