IREN Limited

IREN was held as power-linked digital infrastructure exposure, combining Bitcoin mining economics with an emerging AI cloud pivot. The thesis was that IREN's low-cost power base positioned it well to transition GPU capacity toward AI workloads as mining margins compressed.

The position appreciated significantly from the August 2025 entry. After a partial trim in April following a 127%+ gain, the remaining position was evaluated against other opportunities. The risk/reward at elevated prices relative to the AI pivot execution stage made reallocation the better portfolio construction decision.

Exited IREN fully on April 30 after the position had run up. The exit was a capital-allocation upgrade, reallocating away from a less attractive risk/reward setup toward better opportunities.

Significant appreciation from a speculative entry creates a natural reassessment point. When a position has already captured most of the near-term thesis, holding requires a new and distinct reason to remain sized. Reallocating gains into higher-conviction setups is sound portfolio management.
