Bitcoin Miners Surge in Response to Iren AI Contract Announcement
Bitcoin miners saw a significant surge on Tuesday following an announcement by Iren about new multiyear artificial intelligence cloud contracts.
Impact of Iren’s AI Contract Announcement
Iren revealed it has secured new, extended contracts with prominent AI companies. The agreements involve the deployment of Nvidia’s Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs) in their cloud services.

Despite this positive development for miners, cryptocurrency prices fell later in the day. Bitcoin, in particular, retreated slightly from its recent record highs.

- Iren has partnered with leading AI firms.
- Utilizes Nvidia Blackwell GPUs for enhanced performance.
- Continued investment in AI cloud infrastructure.
