Why Investors Initially Panicked Over IREN’s Fundraise

[bonk]

IREN is raising $2B in new convertible notes and $1.63B through a share sale—moves that often trigger dilution concerns.
Investor fear is normal: more shares = reduced value of existing holdings.
But IREN is using part of the new capital to repurchase existing notes and execute $174.8M in capped call transactions, reducing dilution and strengthening long-term balance sheet health.
