Bitcoins mined month-over-month increases 10%, bitcoin treasury hits 1,547
Total estimated computing power exceeds 10 EH/s globally
SINGAPORE, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today released its unaudited bitcoin mining update for the month ending August 31, 2025.
Management Commentary
"We're pleased to report strong month-over-month improvement across all key metrics of our Bitcoin mining operations," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan. "In August, we mined 98 bitcoins, supported by our enhanced operating hashrate and continued low average power costs. We expanded our deployed hashrate by significantly scaling operations in the U.S., adding our first mining project in Southeast Asia, and making steady progress in growing mining hashrate in Ethiopia. These efforts led to our August Installed Computing Power of 8.6EH/s, and with another 1.46EH/s of Expected Computing Power already delivered to the countries of mining operations, we expect to reach over 10EH/s when it is installed. Importantly, we achieved a major efficiency milestone by reducing our average North American miner performance to below 20J/TH for the first time - a critical step in our self-mining operations. Consistent with our disciplined treasury strategy, we continue to hold mined bitcoins post-costs as long-term reserve assets, bringing our total bitcoin treasury to 1,547 at month-end.
"These results highlight both our resilience and adaptability," Zhang continued. "After voluntarily exiting a less efficient hosting site in South Texas in July, we rapidly stabilized uptime, optimized energy usage, and advanced our U.S. self-mining buildout. The redeployment of miners previously offline is already well underway, with a meaningful portion brought back online in August and more to follow. By combining our proprietary ASIC innovation with operational excellence, we are strengthening a mining platform that not only drives sustainable bitcoin production but also lays the foundation for future AI-driven computing opportunities."

Recent Corporate Updates:
Bitfury Orders Avalon® ASIC Kits for North American Infrastructure Upgrade
On August 28, 2025, Canaan announced that it had collaborated with Bitfury on its Avalon® ASIC -powered upgrade kits to enhance up to 10MW of existing mining capacity at Bitfury's North American facility. The order builds on a strategic relationship that began in July 2024, following Canaan's prior delivery of 4,500 Avalon® A14 miners, and reflects a joint R&D effort that combines Canaan's latest ASIC technology with Bitfury's infrastructure expertise. By repurposing existing systems with Avalon® ASIC Kit, Bitfury can reduce capital expenditures and electronic waste while achieving greater efficiency and competitiveness, underscoring both companies' commitment to sustainable innovation, cost optimization, and leadership in the North American mining market.
Partners with Luxor to Expand Institutional Miner Financing
On September 8, 2025, Canaan announced a partnership with Luxor Technology Corporation ("Luxor") to provide flexible financing solutions, potentially making it easier for customers to acquire Avalon® mining machines. Through this partnership, Luxor will directly offer its mining customers non-dilutive financing at highly competitive rates with low collateral requirements, which could lead to increased institutional adoption and capital deployment. The partnership already facilitated the sale of more than 5,000 Avalon® A15 Pro bitcoin mining machines in August to a leading U.S.-based institutional bitcoin miner. Both Canaan and Luxor believe that this transaction could enable future sales.
