According to The Information, Australian Bitcoin miner IREN has signed a multiyear AI cloud services deal with Anthropic, the publication reported on Sunday, US time. Neither company has confirmed the agreement, and the deal's value and duration remain undisclosed. IREN filed no announcement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
IREN announced on August 27 that it had signed a contract with a leading frontier AI lab but did not name the customer at the time. The move aligns with a broader trend of miners providing computing infrastructure to AI developers; TeraWulf agreed to a 20-year Anthropic lease worth about $19 billion in July, while Riot Platforms committed 191 megawatts of power to Anthropic in August.
