Australia-based bitcoin miner IREN is redirecting its growth plans away from BTC mining and towards its AI data centers and AI cloud services businesses.
“As we near completion of our 50 EH/s mining expansion, our focus is shifting to the next phase of growth and delivering scalable infrastructure for AI and HPC,” said co-founder and CEO Daniel Roberts in a Monday business update.
Once completed at 52 EH/s, the mining expansion is expected to generate $528 million in annual cash flow, according to the company. Current installed capacity is 35 EH/s and completion is expected in the coming months.
IREN shares are lower by 2.1% premarket.
