IREN: Strong Growth, AI Expansion & Massive UpsideIREN ( NASDAQ:IREN ) just reported Q2 FY2025 earnings, showing huge revenue and profit growth:
Revenue doubled QoQ to $119.6M (vs. $54.4M in Q1).
Adjusted EBITDA jumped to $62.6M (vs. $2.6M in Q1).
Net profit of $18.9M, recovering from a $51.7M loss in Q1.
Bitcoin mining remains IREN’s core revenue driver, with 1,347 BTC mined (+65% QoQ) and mining revenue up 129% to $113.5M. Meanwhile, AI cloud revenue dipped slightly to $2.7M.
Financially, IREN is in a strong position with $427.3M in cash, lower electricity costs per BTC ($21,418 vs. $35,359 in Q1), and total assets growing to $1.85B. The company also raised $440M via convertible notes at 3.25% interest to fund expansion.
The AI & Compute Opportunity
Beyond Bitcoin, IREN is aggressively expanding into AI and high-performance computing (HPC) with its Texas hyperscale data centers:
Childress (750MW): New 75MW liquid-cooled AI/HPC data center in development.
Sweetwater (1.4GW): Expanding to 2GW total with the Sweetwater 2 project (600MW).
Mining capacity increased 50% to 31 EH/s and is on track for 52 EH/s by 2025.
Massive Valuation Gap
Despite strong growth, IREN trades at a low multiple (~4.6x 2024 EBITDA), which could drop to ~2.5-4x as Texas sites go live in 2025/26.
Sweetwater alone is projected to generate SEED_TVCODER77_ETHBTCDATA:2B + in annual free cash flow—more than IREN’s entire current market cap ($2.3B).
Applying standard data center multiples, IREN’s enterprise value could reach $20-40B—10-20x its current price, excluding the several billion in value from its Bitcoin business.
Bottom Line
IREN is rapidly transitioning from a Bitcoin miner to a major AI and HPC data center operator. With AI compute in high demand and limited supply, IREN’s undervalued stock could have massive upside. 🚀
