As part of my small community project, I would like to briefly introduce you to the five individual stocks that have made it into the portfolio. Not a deep dive, but a concise overview of why the stocks could be exciting could be exciting - and where the risks lie. (As always: no investment advice. 😉)

⚡ Iris Energy / IREN Limited (Australia, data centers & Bitcoin mining)
What does the company do?
$IREN (-4,89%) Operates its own data centers that run on 100% renewable energy. The infrastructure is optimized for highly energy-intensive applications such as bitcoin mining, high-performance computing and, increasingly, AI/HPC workloads.
Why is it exciting?
- Leverages two major themes: renewable energy and computing power (Bitcoin, AI, HPC).
- Vertically integrated model: own sites, power contracts and hardware, potentially bringing cost benefits.
Risks:
- Highly dependent on the price of Bitcoin and the profitability of mining.
- High capital requirements for expansion and hardware upgrades; also regulatory uncertainty around crypto.

🛰️ Rocket Lab USA (USA/NZ, space travel & launcher)
What does the company do?
$RKLB (-1,89%) is an "end-to-end space company": The company offers launches with the small Electron rocket, builds satellites and components and is developing "Neutron", a larger, partially reusable rocket for larger payloads.
Why is it exciting?
- Electron is one of the most widely used rockets for small satellites and has already flown dozens of missions, making Rocket Lab one of the most important private launch providers after SpaceX.
- Additional value creation through satellite construction, components and on-orbit services - so not just "pure rocket".
Risks:
- High capital intensity, technological and regulatory risks (launch failures, approvals, competition in the "new space" sector).
- Strong competition from SpaceX, Blue Origin and other launch providers, among others.
