Canaan Inc. reported a weak first quarter of 2026, with total revenue of US$62.7 million, sharply lower than US$196.3 million in the prior quarter and US$82.8 million a year earlier, though in line with guidance. Product revenue fell to US$42.9 million and mining revenue to US$19.1 million as lower bitcoin prices and softer demand reduced computing power sales.
Cost of revenues rose to US$85.6 million, including US$24.5 million of inventory and prepayment write-downs, driving a gross loss of US$22.9 million and an operating loss of US$54.3 million. Net loss widened to US$88.7 million and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss to US$76.3 million.
The company continued to build its mining and energy footprint, producing 257 bitcoins, reaching about 11 EH/s of installed joint-mining power, and holding 1,871.0 bitcoins as of March 31, 2026. It acquired Cipher Mining’s 49% interest in ABC Projects in West Texas (~4.4 EH/s) via equity issuance and advanced an 8 MW Nordic hash-to-heat project. Cash stood at US$43.5 million with about US$42 million of customer collections received in April. Canaan guided Q2 2026 revenue to US$35–45 million.
Canaan Inc. reported that it won a competitive bid to supply its Avalon A1566HA hash-to-heat equipment for a district heating network in the Nordic region. The high-temperature, hydro-cooled units convert computing waste heat into usable hot water for local residents.
The project totals about 8 MW of thermal capacity, including an existing 2 MW phase with 228 units and a follow-on March 2026 order for 6 MW using 692 units. Canaan’s parallel node architecture supports dynamic overclocking and underclocking to match demand and simplify maintenance.
The company notes that this second-phase selection by a leading Nordic heating provider validates its push into energy-integrated compute infrastructure. The full 8 MW installation is expected to provide reliable heating to roughly 2,800 homes, supporting a shift away from traditional fossil fuel-based systems.
Canaan Inc. reported its unaudited bitcoin mining update for April 2026, highlighting growth in both hashrate and digital asset holdings. The company mined 90 BTC from self-mining and received 3 BTC in customer payments, lifting its month-end treasury to a record 1,826 BTC and 3,952 ETH.
Installed hashrate for self-operated sites reached 10.97 EH/s, up 34.6% year-over-year, with operating hashrate at 6.86 EH/s, up 10.6%. Joint venture operations contributed about 48 BTC in April and at month-end had 4.82 EH/s of installed hashrate and 4.35 EH/s of operating hashrate.
Canaan reported an average all-in power cost of US$0.044/kWh and operated 13 active mining projects across 5 countries. The company also extended its collaboration with Tether through a follow-on order for custom high-density mining hash board modules for next-generation immersion-cooled systems in South America.
