Bitcoin miner and AI infrastructure company IREN (IREN) has completed a $3 billion convertible senior notes offering.
The capital raise marks one of the largest of its kind among bitcoin miners pivoting into AI infrastructure.
The financing expanded rapidly over three days after IREN announced plans to raise $2 billion through convertible senior notes due 2033 on May 11. Investor demand led the company to increase the offering to $2.6 billion on May 12, alongside a $400 million greenshoe option. The greenshoe had been fully exercised by May 14, bringing total proceeds to approximately $2.96 billion on
The 1% notes were priced with a 32.5% conversion premium, implying an initial conversion price of roughly $73.07 per share versus IREN’s May 11 closing price of $55.15.
The deal further underscores IREN’s transition from bitcoin mining into AI cloud and hyperscale infrastructure. The company recently signed a five-year, $3.4 billion AI cloud agreement with Nvidia and plans to purchase around $3.5 billion of GPUs and related equipment from Dell.
IREN shares are down over 3% in pre-market trading.
