📈 2. Growth Trajectory of Canaan in Graphs (2025–March 2026)

From here, let's check how Canaan has grown based on the monthly data released, using graphs and tables.

📊 Trends in Cryptocurrency Holdings (BTC)

Through the accumulation of mining rewards and strategic purchases, BTC holdings are increasing steadily.

📊 Trends in Deployed Hashrate

The speed of infrastructure expansion is also phenomenal. Recently, 4.4 EH/s was added through a joint venture (JV), increasing our presence in the network.

🔥 3. Key Topics for March 2026

Among the many mining companies, how is Canaan currently evolving its business? We have picked out key points from the March report.

① "Gas-to-Compute" operational in Canada 🇨🇦

We are shifting from simple mining to the effective utilization of energy. In Alberta, Canada, a project has begun that uses "stranded gas"—which would otherwise be wasted—to conduct mining. Furthermore, we are advancing a project to reuse waste heat from mining for greenhouse cultivation, placing us at the forefront of sustainable mining.

② Strategic Joint Venture (JV) with Cipher Mining 🤝

At the end of February 2026, Canaan acquired a 49% stake in three facilities in Texas (Alborz, Bear, and Chief Mountain) from major US mining firm Cipher Mining. With this, we immediately acquired 120 MW of power capacity and 4.4 EH/s of hashrate. We have strengthened our foundation in West Texas, where operational efficiency is high and power costs are extremely low (under US$0.03/kWh).

③ Share buybacks by management (insider purchases) 💼

In early March, it was announced that CEO Nangeng Zhang and CFO James Cheng purchased a total of 1,456,547 shares (ADS) of Canaan directly from the market (at an average of $0.51). This is proof that management has strong confidence in the company's long-term growth and its current undervalued valuation.

🔭 4. Future Outlook: Moving Beyond Just a "Mining Company"

CEO Zhang speaks about the future vision as follows:

"We view our role as evolving beyond traditional mining into a 'vertically integrated energy infrastructure platform.' By combining computing and energy optimization, including heat reuse, we can improve efficiency while allowing Bitcoin mining to function as a flexible load that supports the stabilization of the power grid."

In short, Canaan is aiming not only to "manufacture and operate mining machines," but also to "build data center infrastructure that can be shared with AI and HPC (High-Performance Computing)" and "solve energy issues."

📝 5. Summary

As of March 2026, Canaan possesses the following strengths:

1. Abundant Finances: A strong balance sheet with over 1,800 BTC and 3,900 ETH.

2. Explosive Infrastructure Growth: Significant expansion of North American operations through the partnership with Cipher.

3. Efficiency and Sustainability: Introduction of the latest "Avalon A16" machine and a transition to an ecosystem that utilizes waste heat.

Canaan is building a rock-solid foundation capable of withstanding Bitcoin price fluctuations and market headwinds. For those interested in cryptocurrency and mining stocks, keep an eye on the "fusion of energy and computing" that they are pioneering!
