NEW YORK, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN) (“IREN”) today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Ingenostrum, S.L. (Nostrum Group), a next-generation data center developer based in Spain.

“This acquisition establishes a strategic platform in Europe for IREN. Nostrum adds high-quality sites, an experienced local team and a leading position in an attractive market for AI infrastructure. These capabilities support the next phase of growth of our vertically integrated AI Cloud platform.”
