Canaan Inc. Provides June 2025 Bitcoin Production and Mining Operation Updates

SINGAPORE, July 7, 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 June 30, 2025.

Management Commentary

"Our June production numbers demonstrated the resilience of our mining operations," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan, "Following a record-breaking May, June production totaled 88 bitcoins, primarily due to a temporary reduction in operating hashrate. The decrease was primarily due to reduced uptime from weather-related curtailment and maintenance. During the month, certain areas of Texas were impacted by both severe storms and continuous high temperatures, resulting in our hosting partner shutting down some machines for site safety as well as site maintenance. In Ethiopia, our 100% green mining activities had a lower uptime due to seasonal drought-related national electricity restrictions.

"Importantly, we continued to build our bitcoin reserves, closing June with a record high of 1,484 bitcoins in our total cryptocurrency holdings. This milestone underscores both our financial strength and our long-term commitment to strategically accumulating bitcoin. This marks a new record for our cryptocurrency holdings, reinforcing our financial flexibility and commitment to building strategic bitcoin reserves.

"At the same time, we continued advancing our North American expansion, with approximately 1 EH/s of new computing power currently en route to our U.S. facilities. Installation is on track for completion by the end of July 2025, further strengthening our operational presence in the region.

"Additionally, in light of ongoing market challenges, we remain focused on protecting shareholder value. We continued executing our stock repurchase program throughout June, demonstrating our confidence in the Company's long-term prospects and underscoring our disciplined capital allocation strategy."
