Wells had a new Neocloud piece today. Here are main $NBIS parts...

The buildout is just beginning $IREN

The Mirantis acquisition. New GPU deployments. New customer discussions. A growing global footprint. Underneath all of it is a fairly simple view of where the world is heading, and a deliberate strategy for how we position IREN within it. That strategy is built on three layers. Together, they compound into a structural advantage that gets harder to replicate every quarter we execute. Layer 1: Physical infrastructure. Power, land, substations, data centers, cooling. The foundation that everything else sits on. Layer 2: Compute infrastructure. The GPUs, servers and networking that go inside those buildings. Deployed at scale. Generating revenue. Building execution track record. Layer 3: Software and operational capability. The orchestration, deployment tooling and enterprise expertise that makes the first two layers work harder for customers, and opens the door to a broader, higher-value market over time. Layers 1 and 2 are where the overwhelming majority of IREN's value is being created today. Layer 3 is where that advantage compounds further over time, but only because Layers 1 and 2 are built, owned and controlled at scale by IREN, not subscale nor contracted from a third party. Think of Amazon. They didn't win e-commerce by building a great website. They won it by controlling the fulfilment infrastructure at a scale nobody else could replicate. The foundation you don't control becomes the ceiling on your business. That is exactly how we think about IREN. The physical infrastructure - the land, the power, the substations, the data centers - is owned and controlled by us. The compute deployed into it generates the revenue and execution track record. And the software, orchestration and enterprise capability we are more methodically building on top is what turns the total product into a vertically integrated AI Cloud platform that compounds over time and deepens into a competitive moat. AI is still early. The bottleneck is increasingly physical. And we have spent eight years building the foundations.

March 2020. 👇 Six years later, the vision is very much alive. @MichaelDell 👊

Back-of-envelope numbers for 1 gigawatt data center: All-in Capex: ~$50 bn Enterprise revenue generated: ~$25-30 bn/year Electricity cost: $1-2 bn/year ~2 year payback. The boom is real.

THINK BIGGER

IREN is acquiring Mirantis. Our advantage is infrastructure and execution. This builds on existing capabilities and strengthens how compute is deployed, managed and operated. Read more: iren.gcs-web.com/static-file…

Feels like we’re still early in the compute cycle. Supply isn’t easy, real-world constraints are everywhere. And every step forward in AI just seems to create more demand for compute.
