    IREN locks in $9.7B Microsoft data center compute infrastructure contract

    Question

    IREN locks in $9.7B Microsoft data center compute infrastructure contract

    Direct answer

    As hyperscalers accelerate their multi-billion-dollar data center capex plans, co-location providers with secured utility interconnections are winning mega-scale commitments. IREN has formalized a $9.7 billion contract with Microsoft to provide high-density computing capacity. The scale of the contract reflects Microsoft's push to secure physical power and space as utility bottlenecks delay traditional enterprise buildouts.
