Paul Yu, CEO Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining Cango's first quarter 2026 earnings call.
First, I will summarize our key financials and operational performance for the quarter.
The first quarter of 2026 was characterized by industry-wide adjustments, and our results reflect these macro headwinds alongside our ongoing efforts to manage our strategic transition.
During Q1 we generated total revenue of approximately $102 million, primarily driven by revenue from our Bitcoin mining business.
We reported a net loss from continuing operations of $261.1 million, primarily due to non-cash impairment charges on Bitcoin mining machines and loss from changes in fair value of receivable for Bitcoin collateral, both resulting from the decline in Bitcoin market price.
By the end of the quarter we held 1,025.7 bitcoin and we reduced our long-term debt to $30.6 million.
As of March 31, 2026, Cango's total operational hashrate was 37.01 exahashes per second, comprising 27.98 exahashes per second of self-mining capacity and 9.02 exahashes per second of hosted hashrate.
This operational model prioritizes margin resilience over scale.
In Q1 we mined 1,266 bitcoin through disciplined cost management.
Our average cash cost per bitcoin mined was $76,928, showing a 9% decrease from Q4 2025.
These figures reflect our continued focus on profitability and operational efficiency as our business model evolves.
Following this brief quarterly review, I'd like to provide an update on our operational activities during April and May, which offer additional context regarding our strategic direction.
Regarding our mining business, our immediate priority is to streamline operations and carefully manage our resources and location.
In April, we maintained our focus on cost optimization measures and operational efficiency.
Our self-mining operations produced 230.04 bitcoin for the month, and the average cash cost per coin further decreased.
This result stems primarily from our ongoing fleet upgrade.
Beginning in March, we have been selling less efficient older-generation S19 miners and selectively replacing them with more energy-efficient S21 series machines.
As of the end of May, within our self-mining hashrate composition, the contribution ratio between S19 and S21 models is approximately 8 to 2.
