Management Commentary

"We continued to execute on our North American expansion plan, and our results demonstrate the successful relationships that we've built with our existing partners as well as our ability to find and negotiate favorable partnerships that are helping us to achieve our mining operations' goals," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan.

Additionally, through our recently announced agreements with Mawson and another partner for two projects in Pennsylvania and Texas, we will add another 4.7 EH/s of mining computing power in North America when these projects are fully energized.

Zhang continued, "Meanwhile, we continued to make advancements in our product innovation activities, bringing superior mining efficiency and user experience to our customers. We completed the tape-out process for our next-generation A16 mining machine and, as with previous generations, we will release the new product and provide sample units to our customers only after we finish full system testing so that we can provide the market with real-world data.

"We believe that we have made significant progress on our 2025 goals as we continue to scale our operations and optimize performance across our mining fleet.  With market conditions evolving rapidly, we remain focused on staying nimble—balancing efficiency, innovation, and strategic growth. Our commitment to deploying advanced hardware and securing meaningful partnerships makes us well-positioned to navigate the remainder of the year and to drive long-term shareholder value."
