Blue Owl leads $2.4 billion tranche in Iren’s $2.8 billion GPU financing
The non-investment-grade package will fund Nvidia GPU deployments at Iren’s British Columbia data center.
Blue Owl Capital led a $2.4 billion tranche within a broader $2.8 billion financing package for Iren’s purchase of Nvidia GPUs, according to Bloomberg.
The non-investment-grade equipment financing carries a 9% fixed interest rate and will fund air-cooled Nvidia GPU deployments at Iren’s facility in Mackenzie, British Columbia.
Iren separately closed a $3.65 billion investment-grade GPU financing package in June, backed by a Microsoft offtake agreement. Across the two transactions, the company has secured more than $6.5 billion in GPU-specific financing.
Iren began as a Bitcoin-mining company before shifting toward AI cloud infrastructure. It is developing data-center campuses in British Columbia and Texas and has said it aims to reach 480 megawatts of AI cloud capacity by the end of 2026.
