Kineska kompanija Canaan, koja se bavi kopanjem bitkoina, zabeležila je neto gubitak od 88,7 miliona dolara u prvom kvartalu, usled pada cene bitkoina

[라온]

Bitcoin miner Canaan reported a net loss of $88.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, as falling Bitcoin (BTC) prices squeezed margins and triggered a significant inventory write-down.

The company posted total revenue of $62.7 million for the quarter ending March 31, a sharp decline from the $196.3 million it recorded in the previous quarter, according to a Tuesday press release.

Industrial mining equipment remained the company’s primary revenue driver at $39.6 million, though sales tumbled 75% from the prior quarter. Self-mining contributed $19.1 million, while the home mining segment brought in $2.7 million, a category that more than doubled year-on-year.

“Although average Bitcoin prices and hashprice declined significantly quarter-over-quarter, our bitcoin production experienced a comparatively smaller decrease, reflecting the resilience of our mining operations and continued hashrate deployment,” Jin (James) Cheng, chief financial officer of Canaan, said.

A $25 million inventory write-down weighed on the quarter’s gross loss of $23 million, while loss from operations reached $54.3 million.

Canaan’s self-mining hashrate surges 66%

Canaan expanded its self-mining footprint to 11 exahashes per second of installed computing power, a 66% jump from a year earlier. The company held 1,808 Bitcoin on its balance sheet as of March 31, valued at approximately $121 million.

In the quarter, Canaan also completed the acquisition of Cipher Mining’s 49% stake in three West Texas joint venture projects totaling roughly 4.4 EH/s in hashrate capacity and 120 megawatts of power. The deal, closed through a share issuance rather than cash, gives Canaan access to power rates below three cents per kilowatt-hour on the ERCOT grid.

Looking ahead, Canaan guided Q2 revenues between $35 million and $45 million, a further sequential decline.

Canaan shares closed down 3.54% at $0.4827 on Monday, shedding a further 7.71% in pre-market trading to $0.4455, according to Yahoo Finance.

Major miners report losses in Q1

Across the sector, major miners including Riot Platforms, Core Scientific, CleanSpark and TeraWulf all reported widening losses in Q1. MARA topped the group with a $1.3 billion net loss, roughly $1 billion of it tied to non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on its Bitcoin holdings.

As mining margins compress, a growing number of miners are pivoting toward AI and high-performance computing as an alternative revenue stream. On Monday, HIVE Digital Technologies announced plans to build a 320-megawatt AI data center campus near Toronto, capable of supporting more than 100,000 GPUs at full build-out.
