1
Revenue nearly doubled in 2025.
FY2025 revenue of $530M (up 97% from $269M). Q4 alone hit $196M, up 121% YoY — driven by hardware sales as bitcoin price recovered.

Treasury hit record highs.
1,826 BTC and 3,952 ETH on the balance sheet in April 2026 — the company's largest crypto holdings ever.

Cipher Mining JV acquired for $39.75M stock.
On Feb 23, 2026, Canaan bought Cipher's 49% interest in the West Texas ABC Projects (Alborz, Bear, Chief Mountain) — adding 120 MW of power and ~4.4 EH/s of hashrate. Cipher became a significant Canaan shareholder.
5
Tether partnership extended.
Follow-on order from Tether for custom hash board modules (April 28, 2026) — first deployment to a Tether-affiliated mining facility in South America.
6
Fleet efficiency improved 14%.
Global fleet efficiency improved from 27.4 J/TH a year ago to 23.6 J/TH in April 2026 — direct margin tailwind.

Insiders bought at $0.51.
CEO Zhang and CFO Cheng acquired 1.46 million ADSs on the open market at an average of $0.51 each in March 2026.

Energy-integrated compute is the long-term thesis.
The Canada gas-to-compute project and West Texas demand-response capabilities are positioning Canaan as a vertically integrated energy/compute platform — not just a miner.
