India, Oct. 12 -- IREN Limited shares rose in US trading on Monday, October 12, 2026, after a report linked the data-centre operator to a multi-year artificial intelligence (AI) cloud services agreement with Anthropic, the company behind Claude AI.

IREN shares climbed in premarket trading after the report, which suggested Anthropic had entered into an unannounced cloud deal with the company. Neither IREN nor Anthropic had publicly confirmed the reported agreement or disclosed its financial terms. The development has nevertheless drawn investor attention to IREN's efforts to expand beyond Bitcoin mining and become a major AI infrastructure provider.
