History and Development

Iris Energy was founded in 2018 in Australia by Daniel Roberts and Will Roberts, with the objective of integrating renewable energy into modular data-center infrastructure for high-performance computing.

In its early phase, the company focused on pilot projects, energy-supply agreements, and the development of initial digital infrastructure capabilities, including data processing and mining operations. Growth accelerated with expansion into North America, where the company established data-center facilities in regions with competitive energy availability, supporting large-scale operations.

Over time, Iris Energy diversified its computing capacity beyond digital asset mining, expanding into applications related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and enterprise data processing. A key milestone occurred in 2021, when the company completed its initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq, enabling further investment in infrastructure and capacity expansion.

Today, Iris Energy continues to scale its operations, focusing on energy efficiency, modular expansion, and increasing demand for high-performance computing solutions.
