Cango Releases Q1 Financial Report: Total Revenue of $102 Million, Business Expanded to AI Computing Infrastructure

Today, Bitcoin mining company Cango released its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2026. The company is currently leveraging its global operational capabilities to expand its business from Bitcoin mining into energy and AI computing infrastructure.

First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights

• Financial Performance: In the first quarter of 2026, the company achieved total revenue of $102 million, with Bitcoin mining operations contributing $98.4 million, the main source of revenue for the quarter. During the reporting period, the company recorded a net loss of $261.1 million. The loss was primarily attributed to non-cash items, including impairment charges on mining machines due to the decline in Bitcoin's market price and losses from changes in the fair value of its Bitcoin holdings. As of March 31, 2026, the company's long-term debt decreased to $30.6 million, compared to $557.6 million as of December 31, 2025. At the end of the quarter, the company held 1,026 Bitcoins as a digital asset reserve.
• Mining Operations and Costs: The company continued to improve operational efficiency while maintaining a more prudent operational scale. During the reporting period, the company's total hashrate was 37.01 EH/s, consisting of 27.98 EH/s from self-mined operations and 9.02 EH/s from leased hashrate. In the first quarter, the company mined a total of 1,266 Bitcoins. Benefiting from optimized mining machine mixes and cost management, the company's average cash cost per Bitcoin decreased by 9.0% quarter-over-quarter from Q4 2025 to $76,928, reflecting the company's ongoing efforts to enhance mining operational efficiency.
• AI Business Development: Leveraging its existing infrastructure capabilities, the company is extending its business from Bitcoin mining to AI computing services. In the quarter, Cango launched a new commercial platform, EcoHash, which plans to reuse its experience in energy management and high-density computing to provide infrastructure support for AI computing demands. The company is currently advancing the pilot deployment of modular, containerized computing units. The project follows a phased approach, initially focusing on GPU computing power leasing, with plans to gradually expand into a global AI computing network.

Cango CEO Paul Yu stated, "The company is executing a robust and disciplined strategy, solidifying its foundation in Bitcoin mining while advancing its AI infrastructure layout through EcoHash. Over the past few months, the company has seen positive progress, including continued cost reductions from machine upgrade strategies and stable global mining operations. Concurrently, the EcoHash project is progressing steadily, with relevant pilot deployments proceeding as planned. Leveraging its global energy network and operational experience, Cango is well-positioned to further enhance operational efficiency, seize emerging opportunities in the AI computing sector, and drive long-term sustainable value creation."

Additionally, Cango CFO Simon Tang stated, "Although the first quarter faced challenges from industry adjustments and non-cash items, the company made substantial progress in optimizing its cost structure and strengthening its balance sheet. The company reduced its long-term debt and, through strict execution of operational strategies, drove continued reductions in mining cash costs. Looking ahead, the company will remain focused on enhancing cash flow resilience, maintaining financial flexibility, and supporting the company's transition towards a more efficient and diversified infrastructure platform."

Continuing Operations Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2026

Revenue

In the first quarter of 2026, the company's total revenue was $102 million, with Bitcoin mining operations contributing $98.4 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, total revenue decreased by approximately 43%, primarily due to the company's proactive reduction in operational hashrate. During this process, the company gradually phased out older, less efficient S19 series mining machines and converted a portion of its hashrate to leased hashrate.

Operating Costs and Expenses

In the first quarter of 2026, the company's total operating costs and expenses were $356.4 million. These costs were primarily related to the company's Bitcoin mining operations, recognition of mining machine impairment losses, losses on disposal of mining machines, and losses from changes in the fair value of Bitcoin-secured receivables.

• Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation listed separately below) was $99.6 million, down from $155.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, mainly due to reduced electricity and hosting costs following the reduction in hashrate;

Operating Loss

In the first quarter of 2026, the company's operating loss was $254.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $26.9 million in the same period of 2025. The expansion of the loss was primarily driven by the decline in Bitcoin's price.
