Microsoft Signs Five-Year, $9.7 Billion AI Compute Deal With IREN

The pact secures phased access to Nvidia GB300 capacity from IREN’s Texas campus with a 20% prepayment from Microsoft.

Overview

  • The infrastructure will be delivered from IREN’s 750‑megawatt Childress, Texas campus in phases through 2026 using Nvidia GB300 systems.
  • Microsoft will prepay 20% under the agreement to lock in dedicated GPU resources for Azure AI workloads.
  • IREN entered a roughly $5.8 billion procurement with Dell for GPUs and related equipment to support the buildout.
  • The contract allows Microsoft to exit if delivery milestones are missed, according to deal summaries.
  • IREN said the pact uses about 10% of its capacity and implies roughly $1.94 billion in annualized revenue, as shares hit a record after rising as much as 24.7%.
