Listed as a top holding in NCLD and described as a really good company, but the host recommends gaining exposure via the ETF rather than owning it individually.

IREN is transitioning from Bitcoin mining to AI cloud computing, owning land, electricity, cooling, and data center infrastructure. Its deal with Microsoft validates the model. The host believes IREN can generate recurring revenue from operating AI infrastructure rather than just selling equipment.

Power availability, Nvidia backstop deal, new GB300 exemplar status, small base with high growth potential in AI cloud. Jose owns it and sees potential for a double.
