Abstract

IREN公司完成了向微软交付四套规划中的"Horizon"人工智能云平台的首套,标志着其与微软价值97亿美元五年期合作的首个里程碑达成。该协议是这家前比特币挖矿公司转型AI基础设施的核心。 首个交付的Horizon 1平台位于德克萨斯州,采用直接芯片液冷技术,配备英伟达GB300芯片,功率为50兆瓦。整套四个平台计划于2026年完成,届时总功率将达200兆瓦。该数据中心还获得了英伟达"模范云"认证。IREN联合创始人表示,这证明了公司垂直整合商业模式的优势。 根据协议,微软有五天的验收期,验收通过后IREN将开始按月收取服务费。当四套平台全部投入运营后,这笔交易预计每年将为IREN带来约19.4亿美元收入,微软将预付总价的20%。 此次转型对IREN财务影响显著。公司于2021年作为比特币矿商上市,其收入结构正发生根本性转变:2022年前九个月,挖矿收入为5.115亿美元,而AI云服务收入仅为5830万美元。公司目标是年底实现AI云年收入超40亿美元,其中超过85%将来自与微软的这份合同。 IREN计划到2026年拥有480兆瓦AI云算力,到2027年达到1.2吉瓦,同时逐步退出挖矿业务。为实现扩张,公司已获得约36.5亿美元担保债务,该融资由微软交易担保,可覆盖其购买GPU等设备所需资金的96%。IREN目前持有惠誉的A级和DBRS的A(low)级投资评级。

IREN公司已向微软公司交付了其规划的四个人工智能云平台“Horizon”中的第一个。此举标志着价值97亿美元、为期五年协议的第一个阶段完成,该协议是这家前比特币挖矿公司向人工智能基础设施转型的核心。

Horizon 1 能源模块位于IREN在德克萨斯州奇尔德雷斯的设施内。据报道,它将是一个采用芯片级直冷技术和英伟达GB300的50兆瓦设施。这是该公司计划到2026年完成的四个此类设施中的第一个,四个设施总功率将达到200兆瓦。

英伟达还授予该中心“模范云”称号,该称号授予那些符合英伟达人工智能工作负载性能和可靠性标准的云服务提供商。IREN联合创始人兼联合首席执行官丹尼尔·罗伯茨在声明中表示:“Horizon 1项目的实现凸显了我们垂直整合商业模式的威力,以及我们快速、大规模实施复杂人工智能基础设施项目的能力。”

为何微软的认可意义更为重大?

完成组装只是考验的一半。根据协议,微软有五天时间验证每个GPU的安装是否符合双方认可的标准。验证过程完成后,服务期开始,IREN开始向微软按月收费。

关键之处在于开始计费。IREN于2025年11月与微软签署了云服务协议,当所有四个Horizon平台投入运营后,该交易预计将每年为我们带来约19.4亿美元的收入。微软需以四笔分期付款的方式预付协议总金额的20%。

IREN向AI转型助力其接近40亿美元营收目标

IREN的财务报告说明了转型的规模。该公司于2021年以比特币矿商身份在纳斯达克上市,2022年前九个月,其挖矿收入为5.115亿美元,而人工智能云服务收入仅为5830万美元。据管理层称,公司计划到今年年底实现人工智能云年收入超过40亿美元,其中超过85%的收入将来自该协议。

所展示的时间线反映了IREN主要业务运营的状况。八月中旬,比特币价格在63,500美元左右徘徊,不到2025年10月峰值价格的一半。IREN表示,计划到2026年拥有480兆瓦的人工智能云计算能力,到2027年达到1.2吉瓦,同时将逐步退出挖矿业务。

据估计,这项扩张需要花费约58亿美元用于向戴尔公司购买GPU及相关设备。IREN已为该扩张的几乎所有部分确保了资金。根据The Block的数据,这包括6月份筹集的36.5亿美元有担保债务,由与微软的交易提供担保,覆盖了采购GPU所需58.1亿美元的96%。IREN拥有惠誉的A级投资评级和DBRS的A(low)级评级。

How 5G Will Be Launched in Russia: The Digital Ministry's Proposal and the Roadmap to 2035

Russia's Ministry of Digital Development has proposed a plan for launching 5G networks. It allows the "Big Four" mobile operators (Beeline, Megafon, MTS, T2) to deploy 5G on existing 4G/LTE base stations and frequencies, and will allocate them the new 4.63–4.99 GHz band. A key element is "technological neutrality," permitting the use of foreign equipment until September 2026. The new 4.63–4.99 GHz band is intended for more advanced services and industrial applications. However, a phased transition to Russian-made base stations will begin in 2027, with a target of at least 50% domestic equipment by 2030. The rollout timeline aims for 5G in cities with over 1 million people by the end of 2027, expanding to 84 cities by 2035. Initial "5G Ready" service, operating over existing infrastructure, will offer minimal speed improvements. Significant speed gains (4-10x over LTE) will require the new band and corresponding equipment. The plan addresses long-standing regulatory delays, including the military's hold on the global standard 3.4–3.8 GHz band. This forced Russia to adopt the 4.63–4.99 GHz range, overlapping with a Chinese band, making Chinese equipment a potential transitional solution. The success of the rollout will depend on equipment supply and the pace of production localization, while a challenge lies in smartphone compatibility with this non-standard frequency band.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Announces a Colossal $700 Billion Allocation! How Will This Affect Bitcoin?

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas warns that the growing adoption of tokenized deposits in the banking sector could pose unforeseen risks to the financial system. Tokenized deposits, which transfer traditional bank deposits to blockchain infrastructure, offer features like instant settlement and programmable payments. While issued by regulated banks and maintaining deposit characteristics, they could enable customers to move funds between banks much faster in search of higher yields. This would significantly weaken banks' liquidity management and lending capacity. The Fed's analysis estimates that an increase in deposit interest rate sensitivity by 10% could reduce the interest rate risk banks can bear by approximately $700 billion over ten years. Similarly, a 10% shortening of the average deposit maturity could reduce the banking system's capacity to convert deposits into loans by about $580 billion. This acceleration of deposit movement could force banks to rely on more expensive wholesale funding, increasing borrowing costs for consumers and businesses and potentially making traditional banks resemble non-bank financial institutions. While the report does not directly address Bitcoin, the described shifts could have long-term implications. Firstly, the tokenization of deposits by banks could promote institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure, indirectly legitimizing digital asset classes like Bitcoin. Secondly, faster-moving deposits and resulting higher funding costs could increase the price of liquidity in the financial system. This could create near-term headwinds for risk assets, including Bitcoin, due to tighter financial conditions and potential selling pressure. The report concludes that widespread adoption of this technology could impact many areas, from payment systems to monetary policy transmission mechanisms.
