IREN recently joined the ranks of publicly listed Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies on Wall Street, posting a remarkable increase in revenue over the past year thanks to the rising value of cryptocurrencies.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, IREN reported a 145% jump in revenue, accompanied by a 30% increase in the amount of Bitcoin tokens mined.
The company achieved record Bitcoin mining revenue of $184.1 million, a significant jump from $75.5 million in the previous fiscal year. This growth was mainly fueled by the expansion of the operational hash rate and the rise in Bitcoin prices. During the year, IREN successfully mined 4,191 BTC compared to 3,259 in the previous financial year.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) also saw a remarkable improvement, reaching 54.7 million, compared to $1.4 million in the previous year.
The company turned its EBITDA positive, reporting $19.6 million, a significant turnaround from a loss of $123.2 million in fiscal year 2023.
Due to these positive developments, the net loss, which was almost $172 million the previous year, was reduced to $29 million.
