An AI-cloud landlord that finally delivered — Horizon 1 accepted by Microsoft on schedule, ~$4bn of 2026-capacity ARR contracted, $16.6bn of total contracted value — but the equity is the shock absorber: NVIDIA's '$70 stake' is an unexercised option IREN paid for inside its GPU cost, and every megawatt past 2026 needs new debt, converts or ATM stock.

IREN’s figures as the company reported them in its filings. Quarters are calendar quarters, so a company whose year ends in January shows each fiscal quarter under the calendar quarter it falls in. An empty slot is a quarter we hold no figure for.

A margin beyond ±100%, or on zero revenue, is left out as not meaningful.

A rising count is dilution: each existing share owns less of the company.
