Canaan Inc. Announces February 2025 Bitcoin Production, Mining Operation Updates, and Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

, /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today released its unaudited bitcoin mining and operational update for February 2025 and announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024. Management Commentary "Despite February being a shorter month, we continued to make steady strides in both our mining operations and product innovation," said Nangeng Zhang, Chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan. "Following the successful upgrade of our mining rigs at Stronghold's Panther Creek facility, operations at the site have continued ramping up, achieving 0.93 EH/s of fully operational hashrate since February. Our joint mining collaboration with Luna Squares remains on schedule, with further machine deployments anticipated in March. These efforts contributed to a sequential increase in our month-end operating hashrate from 5.53 EH/s to 5.73 EH/s and helped grow our owned cryptocurrency balance sheet to 1,355 bitcoins. Additionally, our month-end average revenue split improved from 57.3% to 59.0%, while we maintained an industry-leading all-in power cost of US$4 cents/kWh. "Beyond mining, we remain focused on delivering innovative and accessible mining solutions. In February, we introduced the Avalon Q, a compact, app-controlled home mining machine that delivers 90 TH/s of computing power with ultra-quiet operation. Notably, it is the first professional-grade Bitcoin miner supporting 110V home power supply, catering to mining enthusiasts and expanding our reach to individual users. This latest addition to our Avalon Home series is now available for pre-order through our website, and delivery is expected to begin in April 2025. "As we continue our 2024 year-end audit process, we are pleased to provide preliminary financial results for Q4 2024. We expect total revenue to be approximately US$89 million, exceeding our previous guidance of US$80 million. Furthermore, we anticipate a narrowed gross loss between US$10 million and US$6 million, reflecting improved market demand and our cost optimizations."
