> "$IREN
 founders award themselves $1.14B+ of stock based compensation.

Vesting over 4 years timeframe. This is amid their active $6,000,000,000 ATM.

I’m not going to say anything but I think it speaks for itself."

The scene visually captures the "putting on a brave face" sentiment referenced in the $IREN post about shareholders reacting to the founders awarding themselves $1 billion. No on-screen text, tickers, or numbers appear in the video itself.
