IREN Surpasses Records in Bitcoin Mining, Plans to Attain 30 EH/s by Year-End
Aug 29, 2024 at 11:48 pm
IREN, which was previously known as Iris Energy, has reported an extraordinary year in Bitcoin mining, surpassing previous records and overcoming market doubts.
IREN, formerly known as Iris Energy, has reported an impressive year in Bitcoin mining, setting new records and defying market skepticism. The company unveiled its financial results on August 28, 2024, showcasing a remarkable surge in capacity and revenue.
Miners Sell Off Coins As Bitcoin Price Nears Crucial Resistance Level
IREN's Bitcoin mining revenue soared to $184.1 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, a substantial increase from the $75.5 million earned the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by increasing Bitcoin prices and a subsequent surge in hash rate.
It's worth noting that the company effectively doubled its self-mining capacity, boosting it from 5.6 EH/s to 10 EH/s. This expansion enabled IREN to mine a record 4,191 BTC, expanding from 3,259 BTC in the previous fiscal year. As of August 28, 2024, IREN's total installed capacity stands at 15 EH/s.
IREN's ambitious expansion plans are set to propel the company to even greater heights. The company's aim is to attain a hash rate of 20 EH/s by September 2024 and a significant 30 EH/s by the end of the year. This accelerated expansion is credited to the anticipated procurement of 10.5 EH/s of advanced Bitmain S21 XP miners by November 2024.
Speaking on the FY24 results, Daniel Roberts, IREN’s co-founder and co-CEO, highlighted the company's continuous growth in cash flow, earnings, and revenue. He confirmed:

“Our guidance for 2024 remains. We are on track to cross 20 EH/s next month and 30 EH/s this calendar year with 15 EH/s of installations.”
In addition to its Bitcoin mining endeavors, IREN is strategically diversifying its revenue streams. The company's recent report of $3.1 million in AI cloud revenue indicates its dedication to exploring new opportunities and expanding its data center infrastructure.
IREN's financial performance underscores the strength of its growth strategy. The company's adjusted EBITDA increased from $1.4 million in 2023 to $54.7 million in 2024.
This growth was accompanied by a rise in electricity costs, driven by the increase in hashrate. The cost of electricity rose from $35.8 million in 2023 to $76 million in 2024. Moreover, total expenses rose from $38.4 million to $56.5 million, which was a result of investments in renewable energy credits, headquarters expansion, and site costs.
Despite these elevated expenditures, IREN's financial health improved. In 2024, the organization's net loss decreased from $171.9 million in 2023 to $29 million. Furthermore, it maintained a robust cash position of $404.6 million and was debt-free as of June 30, 2024.
