Cango Shares Plunge 20% After $81.6 Million Q2 Loss
Cango, which began as a Chinese automotive transaction services platform, has shifted into Bitcoin mining, making its earnings more sensitive to cryptocurrency prices, mining difficulty, power costs and fleet utilization. The steep second-quarter loss underscores the financial pressure miners can face from equipment depreciation and operating expenses even when digital-asset markets remain active.
Cango reported a net loss of $81.6 million for the second quarter as revenue declined, sending its shares down 20% after the results. The company also reduced the size of its mining fleet during the quarter and is now prioritizing operational efficiency. Investors will be watching whether a leaner equipment base can lower costs and improve mining output.

The history behind this eventBitcoin Miner Canaan Posts $88.7 Million First-Quarter Net Loss
Canaan manufactures Bitcoin mining rigs and generates revenue from both equipment sales and proprietary mining. Demand for its machines and the value of its inventory are closely tied to Bitcoin prices. Falling prices discourage miners from expanding capacity, and Canaan's first-quarter 2026 results reflected the impact of a weaker cryptocurrency market.
Canaan's latest earnings report showed equipment sales plunged 75% in the first quarter of 2026 as Bitcoin prices declined. The company also recorded a $25 million inventory write-down, widening its quarterly net loss to $88.7 million. Canaan said its mining business remained resilient and that it would continue deploying computing power to support operations.
Cango Posts $285 Million Fourth-Quarter Loss as Bitcoin Mining Costs Surge in 2025
Bitcoin miner Cango Inc.’s profitability is highly sensitive to Bitcoin prices, network hash rate, electricity costs and equipment efficiency. Mining costs rose rapidly in 2025, meaning that even revenue growth driven by higher output could be offset by operating expenses and asset valuation losses. The substantial fourth-quarter loss underscores the financial risks miners face amid volatile Bitcoin prices and cost pressures.
Cango Inc. reported a net loss of $285 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, driven in part by higher mining costs, equipment impairment charges and fair-value changes in Bitcoin-related assets. Although mining revenue increased during the period, the company’s all-in mining expense per BTC climbed to $106,251. As of the time of the report, its shares had fallen more than 84% over six months.
