IREN's Bitcoin Mining Still Dominates Revenue Despite Microsoft AI Cloud Deal
Bitcoin miner IREN reports 82% of revenue from BTC even after making room for Microsoft AI cloud services.
IREN, a bitcoin mining company, continues to rely heavily on cryptocurrency mining for its income. As of the latest update, bitcoin mining accounts for 82% of the company's revenue, even after the firm made room for a cloud computing partnership with Microsoft.
The company has been diversifying into artificial intelligence cloud services. Its contracted AI run-rate target is $4 billion, which is four times the $1 billion operating level recorded on Aug. 26. However, revenue recognition for these AI deals is still tied to delivery and customer acceptance.
