On June 1, IREN announced that it has closed a $3.65 billion investment-grade GPU financing facility to support the delivery of its AI cloud contract with Microsoft. The financing is designed to fund large-scale GPU capital expenditures tied to the company\u2019s expanding AI infrastructure buildout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The facility is anchored by the Microsoft-backed contract and structured through a combination of a US private placement and a delayed draw term loan, providing broad institutional participation and investment-grade credit ratings. It covers approximately 96% of the GPU capital expenditure required for the project and is secured against the underlying GPUs and contracted cash flows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">IREN Limited (NASDAQ:IREN) stated that the financing strengthens its capital structure as it scales its AI cloud capacity expansion plans toward 480 MW by the end of 2026. The transaction also reflects strong participation from global financial institutions and supports the company\u2019s strategy of building large-scale, GPU-driven AI infrastructure at lower blended financing costs.<\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cb919d527284686eb8de911c12958126.jpeg\" alt=\"IREN Secures $3.65B GPU Financing Facility for Microsoft AI Cloud Expansion\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"640\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj  loaded\"\/> IREN Secures $3.65B GPU Financing Facility for Microsoft AI Cloud Expansion      <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">IREN Limited (NASDAQ:IREN) is an Australia-based company that owns and operates renewable energy-powered data centers.
