IREN Soars 29% On Resurgence Of Interest From Tech Data Centers To Host Their AI-Related Computing Machines
$Iris Energy (IREN.US)$ shares are up 29% on Wednesday after executives said the company had received interest from an artificial intelligence (AI) firm and mentioned a potential dividend in BTC during an earnings conference call.
$Iris Energy (IREN.US)$ 週三公司股價上漲29%,因爲高管表示公司收到了來自人工智能(AI)公司的興趣,並在業績會看漲中提到了潛在的比特幣分紅。
The Sydney-based company has been approached by a hyperscaler firm (large cloud service provider) for potentially hosting computing infrastructure at IREN's Sweetwater mining site in Texas, co-CEO and co-founder Daniel Roberts said on the call.
位於悉尼的公司被一家超大規模公司(大型雲服務提供商)接洽,可能在IREN位於德克薩斯州的Sweetwater礦區託管計算基礎設施,聯合首席執行官兼聯合創始人丹尼爾·羅伯茨在電話會議上表示。
"Two hours ago, we got an email from a trillion-dollar hyperscaler that said they weren't interested in Sweetwater, and now they are," Roberts said without giving out too many details.
羅伯茨表示:"兩小時前,我們收到了來自一家萬億美元超大規模公司的電子郵件,表示他們對Sweetwater不感興趣,但現在他們感興趣了,"並沒有透露太多細節。
"We will continue not to provide guidance on specific terms or timing, given the uncertainties. Given the nature that we are dealing with counterparties, it is not all within our control. However, we continue to progress negotiations with some very large counterparties and hyperscalers," he said.
他表示:"鑑於不確定性,我們將繼續不提供具體條款或時間的指導。由於我們正在與對方交易的性質,並非所有事務都在我們的控制之內。然而,我們與一些非常大的對手和超大規模公司繼續推進談判。"
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是許多礦工之一,試圖通過安全託管大型科技公司的數據中心,爲運行機器以支持對人工智能和高性能計算(HPC)日益增長的需求而多元化其營業收入。隨着比特幣第四次減半將獎勵削減50%,壓縮了礦工的利潤率,這一趨勢在今年年初開始。競爭對手Core Scientific(CORZ)通過與人工智能託管交易簽約數十億美元開始了這一趨勢,導致其股價飆升,其他公司隨後跟進。
