Management Commentary
"Our results for January 2026 demonstrate the resilience and adaptability of our global mining operations," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and CEO of Canaan. "Despite macroeconomic headwinds and record winter storms across
"We delivered 83 BTC and expanded our deployed hashrate to over 10 EH/s, maintaining an operating hashrate of 6.63 EH/s at month-end. Following the conversion of stablecoin proceeds from the sale of miners into bitcoins, our cryptocurrency reserve reached a record high of 1,778 BTC and 3,951 ETH. In addition, our global average miner efficiency improved slightly to 24.2 J/TH, underscoring our operational consistency."
"Looking ahead, we remain long-term Bitcoin believers. In addition to our core business, we are focused on additional ways to advance energy reuse and continue expanding into the home mining segment, which offers attractive margins with limited capital intensity."
