On July 11, 2024, Culper Research (“Culper”) issued a report entitled “Iris Energy Ltd (IREN): A Prius at the Grand Prix” (the “Culper Report” or the “Report”). In the Report, Culper announced that it was “short [IREN], a bitcoin miner that now promotes itself as a [HPC] data center play.” Culper stated that it was “short IREN because we believe the Company has dramatically misrepresented the strength and potential of its assets for HPC/AI applications.”

On this news, the price of IREN stock fell by $2.03 per share, or 15.3% (or 13.1% as compared to the prior closing price), to close at $11.20 per share on July 11, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants overstated Iris Energy’s prospects with data centers and high performance computing, in large part as a result of material deficiencies in Iris Energy’s Childress County, Texas site; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
