$IREN another exciting day!!! Wall Street prime brokers are signaling that they won’t be lending anymore money to short seller hedge funds. To put it another way: Wall Street prime brokers want a bull run for their wealthy clients. And they will win.
Hedge funds are already leveraged up to 215%. We have seen that their algos are running on fume. The deleveraging short squeeze will be interesting.
IREN’s market cap is now trading very close to its cash balance (8 B as of August). If this price is rational, it would mean that outside of its cash position, IREN is worth absolutely NOTHING. It is not only priced for bankruptcy, but its GPUs, its substations, its facilities, its interconnection rights, its long term contracts, all of it is worth ZERO according to algos.
Algos have been able to mechanically derail prices of Neoclouds to absurd levels and way below their fundamentals.
SHORT SQUEEZE INCOMING. Just be patient.
WELL, WELL, WELL? $IREN is the only name on this Southwest Power Pool (SSP) chart with a contracted service agreement.
Public Service Company of Oklahoma row: “IREN service contracted” (dark green).
That’s the 1.6 GW Oklahoma campus. Grid studies done, power from 2028.
Everything else is pending or undisclosed, so while the rest of the queue waits, IREN already has the service locked.
Power + land + DCs + GPUs + cloud. 150k GPU path. Multi-GW pipeline.

$IREN is down 62% from ATHs
meanwhile, the machine keeps getting stronger:
1. AI cloud revenue grew 4x in two quarters
2. contracted ARR climbed from $2.3B → $4.0B
3. $MSFT accepted $IREN’s first liquid-cooled datacenter
the market is pricing an investment cycle like a structural decline
