IREN awarded a $700 million stock package to its co-CEOs, Daniel and William Roberts, as the company pivots from Bitcoin mining to AI infrastructure. The package includes 18.2 million restricted stock units vesting over four years, designed to retain leadership through 2033. Despite the founders holding just 2.3% equity each, they control nearly 44% of voting power, which will expire in 2033. Investors reacted negatively, with shares dropping 10%, and critics argue the award is large relative to future earnings and lacks performance conditions. IREN defends the move as key to supporting its long-term AI growth strategy.
