SINGAPORE, Nov. 12, 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 October 31, 2025.

Management Commentary

"October delivered consistent operational performance, with improvements versus September across deployed hashrate, operating hashrate, North American operation's miner efficiency and installed power capacity, while both revenue split and power cost remained stable," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan. "Despite increased mining difficulty, we produced 92 BTC, sustained a deployed hashrate of 9.31 EH/s, with 7.85 EH/s in active operation by the end of October. As we redeployed machines from an underperforming project, our operating hashrate has increased to approximately 8.25 EH/s as of November 7, 2025. Through disciplined mining operation and treasury management, our total cryptocurrency treasury increased to 1,610 BTC and 3,950 ETH by the end of October."

"Throughout October, we continued to advance our global strategy centered on sustainability, efficiency, and innovation," Zhang continued. "We launched a gas-to-computing pilot in Alberta, Canada, that converts stranded natural gas into cleaner, low-cost energy for bitcoin mining, advancing our vision for scalable, sustainable infrastructure initiatives. We also unveiled our next-generation Avalon® A16 series, led by the advanced air-cooled A16XP, which delivers 300 TH/s at 12.8 J/TH efficiency, setting a new standard for ASIC performance and energy optimization."
