What drove it
- Cango reported that the proactive hashrate reduction and transition of some capacity to a hosted leasing model reduced revenue but lowered operating costs and improved the overall cash flow profile.
- Cost of revenue declined following lower electricity and hosting expenses after the hashrate reduction.
- The improved fleet mix and disciplined execution drove an approximately 5% sequential reduction in average cash cost per Bitcoin to US$73,313.
- The loss from changes in fair value of crypto assets was lower than in the first quarter of 2026, which Cango attributed to stabilization and modest recovery in Bitcoin market prices and the initial impact of its Bitcoin hedging program.
- The Georgia site completed conversion in early July and is capable of supporting up to 3 megawatts.

Analysis
Cango reported second-quarter total revenues of US$50,780,771, including US$47,427,558 of Bitcoin mining income and US$3,353,213 of other revenues. The company said total revenue decreased approximately 50% from the first quarter of 2026, primarily because it proactively reduced operating hashrate, phased out older and less efficient S19 series mining machines, and moved some capacity to a hosted leasing model. Total operating hashrate was 27.58 EH/s at June 30, 2026, comprising 19.84 EH/s of self-mining capacity and 7.74 EH/s of leased capacity. It mined 656 Bitcoins during the quarter.
The cost profile declined alongside the smaller mining fleet. Cost of revenue excluding depreciation was US$50,694,280, compared with US$99.6 million in the first quarter, while depreciation was US$16,930,355, compared with US$29.4 million. Cango attributed the reduction in cost of revenue to lower electricity and hosting expenses. The company also reported an approximately 5% sequential reduction in average cash cost per Bitcoin to US$73,313, citing improved fleet mix and disciplined execution.
Profitability remained pressured by machine-related charges. Total operation cost and expense was US$131,395,910, including US$42,861,871 of mining-machine impairment and US$8,546,085 of disposal losses. Loss from operations was US$80,615,139, compared with a US$254.4 million operating loss in the first quarter. Net loss from continuing operations was US$81,632,165, compared with a US$261.1 million net loss in the first quarter. The loss from changes in fair value of crypto assets was US$4,148,957, versus a US$151.8 million loss in the first quarter, and Cango linked the change to stabilization and modest recovery in Bitcoin market prices and the initial impact of the hedging program. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a loss of US$10,723,483.
Cango ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of US$10,121,719, 1,056 BTC in treasury holdings, and long-term debts - related party of US$31,227,904. It also reported US$8,032,711 of short-term debts and a US$9,984,086 Convertible Note. The company started selectively executing a Bitcoin hedging strategy to manage price volatility and stated that it intends to use hedging as a risk-management tool rather than for speculation.
The diversification program is moving into an initial commercial phase. The Georgia-site conversion was completed in early July, with infrastructure capable of supporting up to 3 megawatts. Cango stated that container units have been delivered and installed, GPU hardware has been procured and is arriving in staged batches, and the site is onboarding customers. It expects revenue from the Georgia site to be recognized in the third quarter, while it develops both bare-metal GPU hosting and colocation offerings and operates test nodes in Texas and on the West Coast.
Management, verbatim
In our Bitcoin mining business, we continue to focus on unit economics rather than scale. At the same time, we continued to deliver on our AI modular build at our LN mining site.
Paul Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Cango
Our Georgia site is in the process of onboarding customers, with revenue expected to be recognized in the third quarter.
Paul Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Cango
During the quarter, we recorded a net loss of US$81.6 million, mainly driven by non-cash impairment and disposal losses on our mining machines.
