IREN’s dilution just became optional
$IREN dilution just went from mandatory to optional. That’s the headline nobody wrote from tonight’s call.
The receipts: $6.5B of GPU financing raised in three months, covering over 100% of GPU capex. Customer prepayments of 45-55% on recent deals stacked on 90% equipment financing at 6-9% rates. Total secured funding: $19 billion.
Dan’s words on those prepayments: “They are starting to finance our build-out for us.”
Read that again. Customers are paying half the GPU bill upfront, years of rent in advance, for capacity that doesn’t exist yet. That’s demand on a balance sheet instead of a slide.
A year ago equity was the only fuel and the ATM ran all year. Today prepayments cover the data center cost, cheap debt covers the silicon, and $7.6B of unencumbered data centers sit ready to be financed next.
Note: 2027 capex guide is $25-30B, so capital raising doesn’t end. But needing the ATM and choosing your financing are different companies. $IREN became the second one last night.
