Cango Optimizes Bitcoin Mining Strategy for Cash Margins

Cango has optimized its Bitcoin mining strategy to prioritize cash margins, achieving a total operational hashrate of 37.01 EH/s and reducing its average cash cost per coin by 19.3% to $68,215.83 in March 2026. The company strengthened its financial position by selling 2,000 Bitcoins to repay $30.6 million in loans and secured additional capital through a $65 million equity investment and a $10 million convertible bond, supporting its transition towards energy and AI infrastructure. Analysts maintain a "Moderate Buy" rating for CANG, despite a price target downgrade by Greenridge due to the Bitcoin sell-off, viewing Cango as an undervalued player in the Bitcoin mining and AI data center space.
