IREN is one of many miners attempting to diversify their revenue sources by securely hosting big tech companies' data centers for running machines to support surging demand for AI and high-performance computing (HPC). The shift started earlier this year after Bitcoin's fourth halving cut rewards by 50%, squeezing miners' profit margins. Rival Core Scientific (CORZ) started the trend by signing AI hosting deals for billions of dollars, leading to its stock price surging and others to follow suit.
IREN是许多矿工之一，试图通过安全托管大型科技公司的数据中心，为运行机器以支持对人工智能和高性能计算（HPC）日益增长的需求而多元化其营业收入。随着比特币第四次减半将奖励削减50%，压缩了矿工的利润率，这一趋势在今年年初开始。竞争对手Core Scientific（CORZ）通过与人工智能托管交易签约数十亿美元开始了这一趋势，导致其股价飙升，其他公司随后跟进。
