IREN just made a move that rattled the market, and I think this is one of those moments investors cannot afford to ignore. A massive $6 billion capital raise tied to AI expansion sounds exciting on the surface, but the fear of dilution changes the story fast. That tension is exactly why this stock has everyone watching.
