To support the next stage of Cango's strategic transformation from pure-play Bitcoin mining to global AI and high-performance computing infrastructure, the Company has updated its Bitcoin treasury policy to focus on optimizing liquidity, capital efficiency, and long-term shareholder value. Consistent with this framework, Cango intends to utilize liquidity from its Bitcoin treasury for operational expenses and select strategic initiatives. This approach underscores Cango's commitment to its long-term energy and AI infrastructure roadmap while upholding a disciplined treasury framework that preserves strategic optionality.
