$IREN is a growth company that would not have been able to obtain a conventional loan on these terms. The issue of convertible bonds therefore makes sense. The oversubscription can also be seen as a positive, as demand appears to have been strong. The hedging part with derivatives is intended to limit dilution if investors convert their bonds into shares. The 30% premium can be interpreted to mean that the company expects the share price to rise by at least 30% by 2030.

@Brody Well, by and large, yes. However, the 30% premium has nothing to do with a minimum price by 2030. The premium is simply the lower risk of having a bond that can be exchanged for shares instead of investing directly in shares. With convertible notes, you have the choice of whether you want your bond to be repaid or whether you would rather have shares at that time.

@Bastibroschi You describe the scenario from the investor's point of view. I am describing it from the perspective of the issuer, who calculates that the conversion price threshold will be reached.
