Canaan Inc. Provides June 2026 Bitcoin Production and Mining Operation Updates

Joint venture hashrate recovers significantly, approaches full-installed capacity

SINGAPORE, July 14, 2026 /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, 2026.

Management Commentary

"June was a month of consolidation and recovery, and we remained focused on disciplined execution across our mining operations," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan. "During the month, we produced 64 BTC. Despite grid maintenance at one of our facilities, after accounting for operating costs and the receipt of BTC as payment for our miner sales in June, we recorded our strongest monthly increase of 2026, adding 49 BTC to our cryptocurrency treasury. Our total cryptocurrency holdings reached a record 1,915 BTC and 3,952 ETH. Meanwhile, we maintained our North American non-JV fleet efficiency at 17.9 J/TH, underscoring our disciplined approach to operational excellence and cost management despite challenging market conditions."

Zhang continued, "We'd also like to thank our joint venture partner, WindHQ, for their strong execution in restoring operations following the wildfire-related disruptions that affected our Alborz facilities in May. By June, our joint venture had substantially resumed operating, a strong recovery that we're proud to see reflected in this month's results."

"Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing our vertically integrated strategy and capturing opportunities emerging at the intersection of energy and compute. We believe our integrated capabilities provide a strong foundation for long-term growth. Disciplined execution remains the foundation of our strategy as we expand our capabilities across bitcoin mining and broader compute infrastructure to drive sustainable long-term shareholder value."

Won Competitive Bid to Provide Hash-to-Heat Equipment to Nordic District Heating Network

On May 19, 2026, the Company announced that it had been selected to support a district heating network in the Nordic region with a combined capacity of approximately 8 MW. The project utilizes the Company's Avalon A1566HA hydro-cooled units and leverages Canaan's proprietary semiconductor and system design technologies to support dynamic overclocking and underclocking, enabling the stable delivery of hot water at temperatures of approximately 80 degrees Celsius for integration into existing district heating infrastructure. The project builds upon a successful initial deployment of approximately 2 MW, which is currently operating and supplying hot water to local residents. Following the strong performance of the first phase, the Customer placed a follow-on order in March 2026 for an additional 6 MW of capacity. This deployment further demonstrates the commercial viability of the Company's hash-to-heat technology and its potential to accelerate the replacement of legacy heating systems, while creating value beyond traditional bitcoin mining applications through energy-efficient heating solutions.
