IREN books first revenue from $9.7 billion Microsoft deal after Horizon 1 acceptance
AI Market Summary
IREN cleared a key execution risk as Microsoft formally accepted its first delivered data center, enabling invoicing under a five-year $9.7B contract. Nvidia's GB300 validation and Exemplar Cloud status further de-risks its AI-infrastructure pivot and supports credibility with enterprise buyers. Investment-grade, contract-backed debt financing improves funding visibility, though leverage and the transition away from BTC mining keep sensitivity to operational delivery and upcoming earnings high.
