Pole position to benefit from GENIUS Act |
The GENIUS Act unlocks major growth for Citi’s stablecoin and digital asset platform, while record results in core businesses and ongoing buybacks are fueling strong revenue momentum and market share gains.

💡 Why we like it: ChadWhisperer ties Citi’s digital asset ambitions neatly to the GENIUS Act, framing it as a structural pivot rather than just a short-term catalyst.

IREN will transform from bitcoin miner to leader in AI infrastructure |
IREN is pausing bitcoin mining expansion at 50 EH/s to redirect capital toward rapid scaling of high-margin AI cloud and liquid-cooled data center infrastructure. Major projects like Horizon 1 and Sweetwater position IREN to become a leading supplier of next-gen AI compute, supported by strong cash flow and diverse funding. | |

~15.5% undervalued vs current price |
Based on ~50% p.a. Revenue growth for 5 years | | |
|
💡 Why we like it: Sure it’s data heavy, but Kapirey lays out IREN’s transformation from a pure-play Bitcoin miner to an emerging AI infrastructure leader with impressive clarity. By breaking the story into mining, cloud, and data center phases, they show how the narrative has evolved beyond crypto hype into one of strategic reinvention. |

Behind the Assay: XRF Scientific’s Role in Modern Mining Economics |
XRF is expanding into automated sample prep, boosting recurring high-margin consumables revenue. Its defensible niche supports reliable cash flow, but global competition requires focus on quality and innovation. Strong financials and board alignment position XRF as a long-term mining services leader. |

💡 Why we like it: Robbo frames XRF Scientific as a classic “picks and shovels” play, highlighting how its niche in mining lab services drives durable, high-margin recurring revenue. The narrative balances admiration for XRF’s steady growth and smart acquisitions with a realistic view of its global competition, making it a thoughtful and well-structured investment case. |
