Disclosed scale$2.8B of total contract value across new multi-year cloud-services agreements; IREN raised its year-end AI Cloud ARR target above $4B, says approximately 85% is now contracted and reports recent customer prepayments equal to about 45% of associated GPU capex

Why it matters

The strategic read

Adds another large customer-offtake layer to IREN's GPU and data-center buildout while shifting part of the hardware funding burden to customers. The contracts raise booked AI-cloud revenue, strengthen pricing and turn more of IREN's planned capacity into pre-funded, multi-year compute infrastructure.
