Daniel Roberts, co-founder and co-CEO of IREN, spoke on the company's FY2026 results call, stating that IREN has contracted $4 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR), with $1 billion currently operating. He noted that Horizon 1 has been delivered to Microsoft and described the company's funding model as working efficiently across the credit spectrum. Roberts also mentioned that these achievements were made using a fraction of the company's current platform and thanked IREN team members and recent hires from companies including Morantis and Nostrom. During the call, Roberts and other executives discussed strategy around data center buildout and compute purchases, with Roberts indicating the company would continue both expanding data center capacity and acquiring compute over time, citing strong industry demand and a lack of available capacity. He emphasized the need to have all layers of the stack in place to sell compute and said the company would look more closely at using excess liquidity from prepayments and financings in the coming months.

  • Daniel Roberts, IREN | theCUBE + NYSE Wired: AI Factories - Data Centers of the Future

    “We’re living through the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Every past industrial revolution was defined by factories and the workers inside them. This time, it’s different. Inside these new AI factories, the “workers” aren’t people on assembly lines – they’re GPUs, clustered together, never clocking off, never tiring, able to scale to millions.” At IREN, we’re building AI factories across North America, leveraging our power, data centers, and GPUs to meet the surging demand for compute. As Daniel Roberts explains on theCUBE, IREN is scaling with speed and efficiency – and the potential ahead i…

Notable quotes

“Look, I think it's actually the opposite. I think it feeds on itself. So, I'll give you one example. You go into chat GPT today and you generate an image. You enter to the prompt. It's like the dialup internet days. It takes minutes and you're like, I better get this prompt right. Finally, 2 minutes later, it comes. Now, I'll give you an example. If we 10x the amount of compute available, which is an enormous task fr”

“I'm not aware of any GPUs that are available in a data center today that are sitting idle anywhere in the world. Like the whole reason we are on this call, the whole reason this sector is being talked about because we've got this crazy demand supply equation where you just can't bring online cloud capacity fast enough. And the key factor that we're seeing across the industry everywhere is this concept of time to comp”

“Power is the scarce resource in this industry. Access to compute is the scarce resource. So, for us, the key question becomes how do you maximize the value of each incremental megawatt that you can bring online? AI cloud is harder undoubtedly it sits much higher up the value chain. So in our view it can generate roughly $10 million a megawatt in perspective revenue versus around one and a half to two million a megawa”

“The way to think about it is that up until now our data center business has been almost entirely GPUs. Vera is our CPU, and you know what's really exciting is that Vera opens a brand new 200 billion TAM for NVIDIA, a market we have never addressed before, and every major hyperscaler is partnering with us to get it deployed, and that's huge for the company because for the first time we have a second engine of that sca”

“So this is the dilemma because ultimately it's a capital market and each of these corporates is looking out for their interests, right? So what you hear publicly is often different to what's happening on behind closed doors. And you've also got this slight paradox where everyone's talking about the need for giant clusters that are adding a zero every couple of years in terms of the number of GPUs in them. But equally”

“So, yes, we've got 11,000 GPUs, majority of which are Blackwells. Yes, we're looking at scaling that up probably into the hundreds of thousands over the coming years, but ultimately it needs to be backed by customer demand. And yes, those chips will be obsolescent one day. When no one knows, everyone's guessing. We can look at the A100s. They were released 5 and 1/2 years ago just as a reference point and they're sti”
