  • Iris Energy, which is based in Sydney and emphasizes its use of renewable energy, has been meeting prospective investors and is working with an adviser on the round, Bloomberg said, citing a person familiar with the matter.
  • The direct listing is expected to become effective in the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • The money raised will be used to help the firm prepare for its Nasdaq listing as soon as this year, Bloomberg said. Discussions are ongoing and the plans are not final, however, according to Bloomberg's source.
