Canaan Inc. Provides April 2025 Bitcoin Production and Mining Operation Updates

, /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today released its unaudited bitcoin mining update for the month ending April 30, 2025. Management Commentary "Our April production metrics demonstrate our ability to maintain a cost-effective mining operation on a global scale, as we expand our footprint and grow our bitcoin holdings," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan. "Consistent with our policy, we utilized a portion of our mined bitcoins to cover mining-related expenditures, including post-period settlement expenses. While we accumulated slightly fewer bitcoins than in March due to a decline in price, we added 16 bitcoins to our holdings, ending the month with 1,424. "Our North American mining operations continue to progress, supported by a solid pipeline of expansion opportunities. In April alone, our projects in Pennsylvania and Texas, powered by partnerships with Luna Square and Mawson Hosting, steadily increased both installed and energized hashrate, adding over 1.5 EH/s to our installed computing power. As a result, our total deployed hashrate reached 8.15 EH/s, with 6.20 EH/s in operation, while maintaining a competitive all-in power cost of US$0.044/kWh. These achievements underscore our strategic focus on geographic expansion and high-quality partnerships that create lasting value for Canaan and our shareholders. "Our non-North American operations are also proving their strategic worth. In Ethiopia, our joint-mining initiative helps mitigate geographic and political risks, extends miners' lifespans, and capitalizes on lower power costs and higher efficiency. From January to March, our average uptime in Ethiopia was 98%. Despite minor power disruptions in early April, our local partner responded swiftly, maintaining a 95% uptime for the month—still above market standards. We remain committed to adapting our partnerships and technologies to thrive in the global mining landscape."

Termination of Agreement for Additional $100 million Preferred Share Financing: On March 10, 2025, Canaan announced a Series A-1 Preferred Shares financing of up to US$200 million with an institutional investor to support the Company's growth initiatives.
