Insights

Market Structure Strategist

Canaan regained Nasdaq minimum bid compliance; operational wins and large orders reinforce a constructive outlook.

Canaan cleared Nasdaq's October 15, 2025 notice after its ADS closed at or above $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days through October 15, 2025, so the listing issue is resolved and Nasdaq considers the matter closed. This removes an immediate regulatory overhang that could have constrained liquidity or investor access to the shares.

The company cites a >50,000-unit U.S. order for Avalon® A15 Pro miners, a Gas-to-Computing initiative in Alberta, and a 20MW deployment partnership with Soluna. Those items are concrete operational developments mentioned alongside the compliance notice and, if executed as described, support revenue and capacity expansion. Key dependencies include the timing, recognition, and delivery terms of the large order, plus progress and capital needs for the Alberta project; none of those contractual details appear in the notice.

Watch near-term execution milestones: order delivery schedule and revenue recognition, formal project milestones for the Alberta initiative, and any filings that quantify financial impact over the next 12 months to 24 months. The Nasdaq compliance letter closes the immediate listing risk; the next meaningful evidence will be documented order fulfilment or financial disclosure within the next 12 months.

Strong operational execution and strategic initiatives reinforce Canaan's long-term growth outlook

SINGAPORE, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today announced that it has received a written compliance notification from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") dated October 15, 2025, notifying the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price of US$1.00 per American depositary share ("ADS") requirement set forth under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). 

On October 15, 2025, Nasdaq determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from October 1 to October 15, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company's ADSs has been at US$1.00 per ADS or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and Nasdaq considers this matter now closed.

"Regaining compliance with Nasdaq underscores the market's confidence in Canaan's long-term vision and growth potential," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and CEO of Canaan. "In spite of global trade policy uncertainty and ongoing bitcoin price volatility, the Company has shown remarkable agility and operational resilience, steadily consolidating its competitive advantages across product innovation, supply chain integration, and international market expansion. Canaan is undergoing a fundamental transformation. We secured a landmark U.S. order for more than 50,000 Avalon® A15 Pro bitcoin miners, entered into a strategic "Gas-to-Computing" initiative to convert flared natural gas into low-cost power for high-density computing in Alberta, Canada, and partnered with Soluna to deploy 20MW of our next-generation Avalon miners. These achievements not only strengthen our global market position but also underscore our long-term commitment to innovation, sustainability, and execution. We remain focused on delivering long-term value for our shareholders and contributing to the ongoing growth of the bitcoin ecosystem."
