IREN is a publicly listed AI Cloud and data-center company co-founded by Daniel Roberts and Will Roberts that operates large-scale GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN's Twitter Score is 33 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #29,015 (top 10%) among 483,652 tracked accounts.
IREN was co-founded by Daniel Roberts and Will Roberts, each serving as Co-Founder and Co-CEO, and trades on Nasdaq. Originally rooted in Bitcoin mining under the Iris Energy name, the company has repositioned itself as a vertically integrated AI infrastructure operator, building and running data centers and GPU clusters at scale. Its Texas campus is a central focus of its current expansion.
IREN has secured a series of major commercial agreements that reflect its pivot toward AI infrastructure. Microsoft signed a reported $9.7 billion, five-year deal with IREN for access to Nvidia chips, with the agreement including a 20% prepayment per reporting by the Associated Press. Separately, IREN announced a $5.8 billion procurement agreement with Dell Technologies for chips and equipment destined for its Texas campus. NVIDIA also secured a five-year right to purchase 30 million IREN shares at $70 each, representing a potential $2.1 billion investment. Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan have served as joint lead managers and arrangers in connection with IREN's financing activity.
IREN has faced legal scrutiny on two fronts. A shareholder lawsuit filed in October 2024 alleges the company overstated its high-performance-computing capabilities at its Childress, Texas site; this remains a filed civil claim and does not constitute an established finding of wrongdoing. A separate class action tied to the company's 2021 IPO under its prior Iris Energy name was dismissed in September 2024, according to secondary reporting. IREN has 69,249 followers as of August 2026 and has published 1,309 posts. The account has been mentioned by 62 accounts, with 291 total mentions.
