Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency based on the popular "Doge" Internet meme and features a Shiba Inu on its logo. Dogecoin is a Litecoin fork. Introduced as a "joke currency" on 6 December 2013, Dogecoin quickly developed its own online community and reached a capitalization of US$60 million in January 2014. Compared with other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin had a fast initial coin production schedule: 100 billion coins were in circulation by mid-2015, with an additional 5.256 billion coins every year thereafter. As of 30 June 2015, the 100 billionth Dogecoin had been mined.   Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and  Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia. Both wanted to create a fun cryptocurrency that will appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience. Dogecoin is primarily used as a tipping system on Reddit and Twitter where users tip each other for creating or sharing good content. The community is very active in organising fundraising activities for deserving causes.  The developers of Dogecoin haven’t made any major changes to the coin since 2015. This means that Dogecoin could get left behind and is why Shibas are leaving Dogecoin to join more advanced platforms like Ethereum. One of Dogecoin strengths is its relaxed and fun-loving community. However, this is also a weakness because other currencies are way more professional.  To purchase Dogecoin, it involves downloading a crypto wallet, setting up a crypto exchange account and then trading away for your desired crypto currency. Once we have set up an account with a DOGE currency exchange and deposited some funds, you are ready to start trading.

Dogecoin is trending following a rally, fueled by reports of corporate accumulation, discussions of a potential "COEP merger" within its mining ecosystem, and speculative short squeeze plays.

The company has always been quick to identify opportunities, and investors have promptly welcomed each of its strategic moves.&nbsp;Despite a steep descent seen since November,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IREN">IREN’s stock</a> is still up 261% year-to-date (YTD).&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Strategic Shifts Paying Off</h2>Sydney, Australia-based IREN, founded in 2018 by siblings Daniel and Will Roberts, started as a provider of solar services for commercial and residential use. The company used clean energy to fuel a booming Bitcoin mining business that benefited from a strong rally in the apex crypto that began in late 2022.&nbsp;Then, as data centers powering energy-hungry artificial intelligence (AI) workloads surged in popularity, IREN pivoted decisively, seizing the opportunity with both hands. In a statement released on March 31, the company said it was pausing all Bitcoin mining expansion and shifting its focus. Announcing the shift, CEO Daniel Roberts said:<blockquote>“As we near completion of our 50 EH/s mining expansion, our focus is shifting to the next phase of growth and delivering scalable infrastructure for AI and HPC through our AI Cloud Services and AI Data Center businesses.”</blockquote>Since IREN announced the pivot, the stock has gained a whopping 1,160% from its Nov. 5 intraday peak of $76.87. By the time, IREN had landed a&nbsp;massive deal with Microsoft, valued at $9.7 billion over five years, providing the software giant with access to Nvidia’s GB300 GPUs. Simultaneously, the company also struck an agreement with Dell to acquire the GPUs and ancillary equipment for about $5.8 billion.&nbsp;Following the deal, Macquarie analyst Paul Golding said the development further accelerates IREN’s diversification into AI Cloud:<blockquote>“The move signals IREN's vertically integrated AI Cloud platform being a formidable offering in the market. It also unlocks a customer segment among global hyperscalers.”</blockquote>JPMorgan, which has a ‘Sell’-equivalent rating, raised IREN’s stock price target to $39 from $28 in late November, citing the flurry of deal activity in high-performance computing.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Iren_data_center_fueled_gain_png_d7c815a371.webp" alt="Iren_data_center_fueled_gain.png">Source: KoyfinMarket Darling To Momentum CasualtyThe rally in IREN stock, a favorite among both investors and retailers, stalled in early November as skepticism about AI plays gained ground amid bearish comments from some sections of fund managers and Wall Street firms.

At least one research firm does not think likewise. In a report released on Monday, B. Riley analysts reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating and a $74 price target, citing their view that the company is set to outperform fellow neoclouds once AI sentiment improves, Coindesk reported.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Neoclouds Fared This Year</h2>Since Nov. 5, IREN’s stock has underperformed its peers, including CoreWeave (CRWV), Applied Digital (APLD), and Nebius Group (NBIS), but it still towers over the rest, considering the YTD returns.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/IREN_vs_Neoclouds_YTD_returns_png_e7671318c0.webp" alt="IREN vs Neoclouds YTD returns.png">Source: KoyfinApart from the publicly listed stock, other dominant players in the space are London-based Civo, Crusoe Cloud, Lambda, and Vultr.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fundamental Challenges</h2>Calling Neocloud’s business model “bare-metal-as-a-service” (BMaaS), consultancy firm McKinsey&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/tech-and-ai/our-insights/the-evolution-of-neoclouds-and-their-next-moves">said</a> their economics are fragile. With this model, gross margins are typically around 55%-65% before depreciation, depending on utilization and pricing. The firm said:”<blockquote>“If there is a small decrease in GPU rental prices, or if utilization slips below 80 percent, returns will flatline. The economy becomes even more fragile when debt financing is taken into account, because interest costs quickly erase any residual cushion.”</blockquote>Iren, which previously boosted EBITDA margins to 40%, has seen them drop to 10.4% in the third quarter.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/IRE_Ns_Margin_Contraction_png_b4b67ee796.webp" alt="IRENs_Margin_Contraction.png">Source:&nbsp;Fiscal.aiMcKinsey highlighted price erosion of older GPUs during the new chip release cycle as another risk these companies face. The firm also said the big deals are less lucrative than they seemingly appear.&nbsp;<blockquote>“These big deals have resulted in high revenue concentration for neocloud players. Public disclosures show that for some players, more than half of their revenue comes from just one or two customers.”</blockquote><h2 class="st-heading-2">Retail Mood Improves</h2>The retail users of the Stocktwits platform have turned ‘bullish’ on IREN’s stock as of early Tuesday from the ‘bearish’ mood seen a week ago. The stock has seen a 273% increase in followers over the past year, and retail chatter has surged by over 300% — all indicating rising retail interest in the stock.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:731/439;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_16_at_3_00_50_AM_png_fba9aabc69.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-16 at 3.00.50 AM.png" width="731" height="439"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Could Rignite IREN Rally</h2>IREN has taken some risk off the table by locking in a huge contract and also strengthening its balance sheet.On the September quarter earnings call, CEO Daniel Roberts said that the Microsoft contract will fetch a 20% prepayment and $1.94 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR), according to a Koyfin transcript. He also flagged a strong scaling of its GPU fleet to 140,000 GPUs by the end of 2026, up from 23,000 currently, which can support $3.4 billion in ARR.&nbsp;B.Riley&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/12/15/bitcoin-miner-iren-s-47-slide-flagged-as-a-buying-opportunity-by-b-riley">called</a> IREN’s stock price movement a sentiment-driven reset in a volatile proxy, rather than a break in fundamentals. The firm said IREN faces only a $2.7 billion gap between available capital and its planned high-performance computing (HPC) capital expenditure. It views the recent pullback as a buying opportunity.According to Koyfin, more than 70% of the analysts covering IREN stock have buy-equivalent ratings.
