I've held $IREN since it was Iris Energy at $7 in 2022. Rode it to $1. Kept buying. Averaged $3–4. Today I hold 703,000 shares likely one of the largest private individual positions outside the founders.
So believe me when I say this comes from a shareholder, not a critic:
I am appalled by the compensation package the board just tabled — 9.1 million RSUs each for the Co-CEOs. 18.2M units combined. Roughly 5% of the company. ~$700M+ at current prices.
Time-vested. Not performance-vested. Show up for four years, collect.
@danroberts0101 and Will have executed brilliantly Microsoft, NVIDIA, Childress. And shareholders have already paid them for it: highest-paid CEOs in Australia in FY24, billionaires alongside us on their existing equity.
But a board exists to negotiate on behalf of shareholders, not to ratify whatever retention math a compensation consultant produces. Diluting every owner by ~5% with zero performance hurdles after stripping the performance conditions out of prior PRSUs in 2025 is a governance pattern, not a one-off.
Founders who preach alignment should welcome shareholders who insist on it. @mikealfred@MikePowerX

Thank you @POTUS for your support. Micron is proud to be part of this historic initiative, which complements our over $200 billion investment in U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D, creating over 90,000 jobs across the country.
Honestly this decade from 2020-2030 might be the most goated in human history.
- Scaling massive reusable rockets for orbital compute with $RKLB to $SPCX.
- on the cusp of ASI and recursive learning with Anthropic and OpenAI
- Backflipping Boston Dynamics and Unitree humanoids to replace the human workforce
- Star Wars laser beams from $EOS.ASX to AI DC lasers like $LITE.
- Waymo and $TSLA self driving cars everywhere in urban cities
- and we get industry Quantum commercialization end of decade
This is kinda crazy to be an investor in this timeframe. Feels like every movie from the Star Wars Death Star to Skynet is coming to life.
What’s next?
We made a huge blunder starting a war we are unwilling to finish
Iran now knows we lack the killer instinct, and that the most we will do is drop bunker busters from afar
They’re crazier and willing to absorb endless bombing
They will drag this fight out for a decade.
they will fight to the death, and know we won’t fight past 5% inflation & $4 a gallon gasoline
Tough talk means nothing to the leadership of Iran.
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
