Cango (NYSE: CANG), a Bitcoin miner affiliated with Bitmain, reported a slight dip in its October Bitcoin production but achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 6,400 BTC in total holdings by month-end. The company produced 602.6 bitcoins in October, a 2.3% decrease from September’s 616.6 bitcoins, while its total Bitcoin reserves grew by approximately 10% to 6,412.6 BTC.

Operational Performance

The average daily output for Cango in October stood at 19.44 bitcoins, down from 20.55 bitcoins in the preceding month. Despite the minor decline in monthly production, the increase in overall Bitcoin holdings marks a strategic focus for the company.

Cango maintained a deployed hashrate of 50 exahashes per second (EH/s) throughout October. Its average operating hashrate saw an increase, rising to 46.09 EH/s from 44.85 EH/s in September, indicating improved operational efficiency.

CEO Comments and Future Plans

Chief Executive Paul Yu highlighted that the average operating hashrate exceeded 90% in October, and the company’s Bitcoin holdings surpassed the 6,000 BTC mark for the first time. Yu also announced plans to complete a direct listing of Cango’s ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange this month, following the termination of its American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program.

Company Background

Cango, which previously operated as an auto export business based in China, made its entry into the Bitcoin mining sector in November 2024. This move involved acquiring Bitmain-affiliated facilities across North America, a deal that solidified Bitmain’s influence over the Nasdaq-listed entity.

Outlook

Since its pivot into mining, Cango has concentrated on expanding its Bitcoin reserves and optimizing hashrate efficiency. The recent report underscores its ongoing growth in holdings and operational improvements, positioning it as a significant player in the Bitcoin mining industry.
