IREN: A Cloud’s Peculiar Ascent

The filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission – a bureaucratic labyrinth where dreams go to die and paperwork multiplies like rabbits – reveal a transaction valued at approximately $171.96 million. A sum large enough to purchase a small principality, or, more realistically, a considerable quantity of server racks. The increase in Cantor Fitzgerald’s IREN holdings, adding $124.65 million to their portfolio, suggests a conviction, or perhaps a desperate gamble, depending on one’s temperament. One imagines the brokers, faces illuminated by the ghostly glow of screens, calculating probabilities with the fervor of medieval alchemists.
