Financing combines a $5.0 billion Macquarie perpetual preferred facility, senior secured notes of $2.35 billion, $2.15 billion and $1.59 billion, and a $160 million private placement that included Nvidia. Nvidia later sold its entire APLD position, worth roughly $182 million.

Its pivot to HPC hosting is anchored by a CoreWeave contract ladder that grew to approximately $10.2 billion over 12 years across roughly 590MW at six sites, and in Q1 2026 it priced $3.3 billion of 7.750% senior secured notes due 2031 to fund an approximately 3GW expansion pipeline. A $9.0 billion all-stock acquisition by CoreWeave was announced in July 2025 but terminated on October 30, 2025 after shareholders voted it down.

It is deploying Nvidia GB300 systems in four Horizon 1-4 phases totaling 200MW of critical IT load at its 750MW campus in Childress, Texas, backed by a 3GW secured North American power portfolio and approximately $5.8 billion of GPU and equipment purchases from Dell. In its FY26 results of 27 August 2026 IREN reported $4 billion of contracted annualized run-rate revenue for 2026 capacity against $1 billion of operating ARR, a new multi-year AI Cloud contract with an unnamed leading frontier AI lab, and $2.8 billion of new GPU financings for non-investment-grade customer deployments alongside a $3.6 billion investment-grade GPU financing for the Microsoft contract. Total FY26 revenue was $707.0 million, of which AI Cloud Services contributed $128.8 million, against a net loss of $702.6 million driven by $638.8 million of non-cash impairments on decommissioned Bitcoin mining hardware.
