[Definitive Guide] Canaan (CAN) 2025 Performance Summary: The 82% Hashrate Increase Signals 'Success in 2026'

[2025 Recap] The 'Transformation' Canaan (CAN) Quietly Completed and Expectations for 2026

While many investors were distracted by daily stock price fluctuations, Canaan Inc. (CAN) used the year 2025 to dramatically improve its fundamental corporate strength.

When lining up a year's worth of monthly reports and technical documents, it is clear that what we are seeing is not just a 'recovery,' but the distinct traces of a 'run-up' toward the next growth phase.

Let's look back briefly, but only at the important numbers.

1. Phenomenal 'Growth': The Doubling Pace of Hashrate

First, let's look at 'hashrate,' the offensive power of a miner. Comparing December 2024 to December 2025, the speed of growth is obvious.

• Deployed Hashrate:

  • December 2024: 5.44 EH/s

  • December 2025: 9.91 EH/s (Year-on-year +82%)

• Operating Hashrate:

  • December 2024: 4.75 EH/s

  • December 2025: 7.65 EH/s (Year-on-year +61%)

The acceleration in the second half of 2025 was particularly remarkable. This means that the 'shift of bases to North America (Texas and Pennsylvania)' that had been underway for some time is complete, and the machines have actually begun to roar. Having overcome the growing pains of withdrawing from Kazakhstan, Canaan is beginning to demonstrate its true potential on stable power infrastructure.

2. The Key to Defense: Accumulating 'Digital Gold'

Beyond offensive power, defensive strength (financial foundation) has also been reinforced.

Canaan is sticking to a strategy of accumulating (HODLing) the Bitcoin it mines for the future, rather than easily selling it on the market.

• Bitcoin Holdings:

  • End of Dec 2024: 1,293 BTC

  • End of Dec 2025: 1,750 BTC (Year-on-year +35%)

This 35% increase is significant. If the cryptocurrency market enters a bull run in 2026, these 1,750 BTC will generate substantial unrealized gains on the balance sheet. They have built a robust financial structure that eliminates the need to 'sell at the bottom'.

3. Outlook for the Future: The 'Moat' of Technology

Why was such rapid growth possible? The answer lies in the 'technology' they possess.

Canaan is not just a mining company. It is a manufacturer that develops its own ASIC chips.

The new model launched in 2025, the 'Avalon A16' series, achieved the astonishing performance of 12.8 J/TH in power efficiency.

Furthermore, patent documents (such as US11502693) reveal that they possess proprietary optimization technology at the logic circuit design level of their chips.

This vertical integration model, which allows them to prioritize the deployment of their 'in-house, state-of-the-art weapons' to their 'own facilities,' is a unique weapon that Canaan possesses, unlike its competitors.

Conclusion: 2026 as a Year of 'Harvest'

2025 was a year of 'sowing seeds' through infrastructure relocation and the deployment of the latest equipment.

Looking at the graph data summarized below, it is safe to say that those preparations were largely completed by December.

With deployed hashrate approaching the 10 EH/s milestone, 2026 will be the phase where that massive infrastructure operates at full capacity to collect the 'fruits' of cash flow.

It will likely not be long before market valuation catches up with this improvement in fundamentals.
