Bitcoin mining firm Cango has sold a significant portion of its Bitcoin holdings as part of a broader effort to reduce leverage and reposition its business toward artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
Cango Cuts Bitcoin Exposure to Strengthen Balance Sheet
The company disclosed that it sold 4,451 Bitcoin, generating approximately $305 million in net proceeds. The funds were used primarily to partially repay a Bitcoin-backed loan and to reinforce Cango’s balance sheet amid challenging mining conditions. The decision was approved by the board following a review of market dynamics and capital requirements.
Cango had already sold more Bitcoin than it mined in January, citing operational disruptions from extreme weather and the need to support near-term growth initiatives. Following the latest transaction, the firm’s Bitcoin reserves declined materially from levels reported at the end of 2025.
Strategic Shift Toward AI and High-Performance Computing
Cango said the asset sale supports a strategic pivot toward AI and HPC, leveraging its globally distributed, grid-connected infrastructure to provide computing capacity for data-intensive workloads. The company plans to roll out the initiative through a phased roadmap, gradually reallocating capital and power resources.
Cango’s move reflects a broader shift across the Bitcoin mining sector. As post-halving economics compress margins, miners are increasingly monetizing power access and data centers by serving AI and cloud computing customers. With network difficulty at record highs and hashprice near multi-year lows, diversification into AI infrastructure is becoming a key survival strategy for capital-intensive miners.
