HONG KONG, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) ("Cango" or the "Company") today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights
As of June 30, 2025, the company's total mining capacity reached 50 EH/s, primarily driven by the acquisition of 18 EH/s in June 2025. Furthermore, in May, Cango successfully completed the divestiture of its China-based assets for US$352 million, generating substantial cash proceeds and providing ample liquidity to support ongoing strategic initiatives.
Total revenues were RMB1.0 billion (US$139.8 million) in the second quarter of 2025, with the Bitcoin mining business generating revenue of RMB 989.4 million (US$138.1 million).
Adjusted EBITDA was RMB710.1 million (US$99.1 million) in the second quarter of 2025.
A total of 1,404.4 Bitcoins were mined during the second quarter of 2025. Average cost to mine, excluding depreciation of mining machines, was US$83,091 per Bitcoin, with all-in costs of US$98,636 per Bitcoin. As of the end of June 2025, the Company had mined 3,879.2 Bitcoins since entering the Bitcoin mining industry.
The net loss for the period was mainly attributable to the one-off loss on discontinued operations and the non-cash impairment loss from mining equipment contracted last November and settled via equity in June of this year—triggered by the significant appreciation in Cango's share price between signing and delivery. These charges are both tied to the Company's strategic steps rather than operational underperformance. Excluding the impairment and the one-off loss from discontinued operations, adjusted EBITDA stood at RMB710.1 million (US$99.1 million) in the second quarter of 2025, demonstrating the underlying strength and profitability of our core Bitcoin mining business.
Mr. Paul Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Cango, said, "The second quarter of 2025 marks a significant milestone as we report our first full quarter following our strategic transformation. In just nine months, we have successfully established ourselves as one of the largest Bitcoin miners in the world with a strong foundation to scale our operations going forward. This rapid growth is being fueled by our asset-light strategy, which enables us to acquire plug-and-play mining rigs with minimal upfront capital, allowing us to scale more quickly and costeffectively than vertically integrated competitors. While this approach incurs relatively higher cash costs per Bitcoin, our substantially lower depreciation expenses keep all-in costs competitive, ensuring strong capital efficiency, resilience through market cycles, and a geographically diversified footprint that mitigates risks and sustains an industry-leading performance."
"Our recent acquisition of 18 EH/s increased our total mining capacity to 50 EH/s by quarter-end, contributing to a 44% increase in Bitcoin production in July to 650.5 Bitcoins compared to June. This growth highlights the significant impact of our expanded operations and provides a strong foundation for further scaling through both organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions, while safeguarding and growing our Bitcoin treasury. Complementing this, our early August acquisition of a 50 MW mining facility in the U.S. state of Georgia represents a pivotal step as we begin building out a robust portfolio of Bitcoin mining and energy infrastructure. This move enhances our energy security, significantly lowers power costs, and will provide us with the operational expertise needed for future high-performance computing (HPC) and energy infrastructure initiatives."
Mr. Michael Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Cango, stated, "We generated total revenue of RMB1.0 billion this quarter, demonstrating the strong underlying performance of our core Bitcoin mining business. Excluding non-cash-impairment item and the one-off loss from discontinued operations, adjusted EBITDA reached RMB710.1 million, compared to RMB5.4 million in the same period last year. This remarkable improvement underscores the robust progress of our business transformation and the tangible positive impact on our operations. Supported by this robust foundation, we are well-positioned to expand our Bitcoin mining business and drive the development of our energy and HPC capabilities going forward."
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results from Continuing Operations
REVENUES
Total revenues were RMB1.0 billion (US$139.8 million) in the second quarter 2025.

Revenue from Automobile trading income was RMB12.4 million (US$1.7 million) in the second quarter of 2025.
OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES
Total operating costs and expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were RMB2.3 billion (US$320.3 million). These costs were primarily associated with our Bitcoin mining business.
Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown below) in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB836.9 million (US$116.8 million).
Cost of revenue (depreciation and amortization) in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB156.4 million (US$21.8 million).
General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were RMB21.7 million (US$3.0 million), compared with RMB13.0 million in the same period of 2024.
Impairment loss from mining machines in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB1.8 billion (US$256.9million). This non-cash impairment loss primarily resulted from the pricing of the 18 EH/s of mining machines acquired through a share-settled transaction entered in November 2024. By the time the mining machines were delivered in June 2025, the Company's share price had nearly doubled, which triggered a non-cash accounting adjustment in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
The loss from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB591.6 million (US$82.6 million) and there were income tax expenses of RMB233.9 million (US$32.6 million) being recognized due to the PRC withholding tax on the indirect transfer of the Company's PRC assets. These loss and expenses resulted from the divestiture of the Company's China-based business.

Roadmap Forward
Over the long-term, Cango is laying a clear and purposeful roadmap to develop a dynamic platform that intelligently integrates Bitcoin mining and HPC applications with dedicated energy infrastructure to create lasting value for shareholders and drive further growth. The Company's approach will follow a three-phase roadmap:
Near term: Optimize its 50 EH/s mining capacity by implementing efficiency upgrades and replicating the low-cost operational model of its Georgia mining facility in other favorable power markets.
Medium term: Develop energy and HPC expertise by piloting renewable energy storage projects aimed at achieving near-zero-cost mining while simultaneously retrofitting select facilities for HPC applications.
Long term: Build a dynamic computing platform that intelligently allocates energy capacity between Bitcoin mining and AI workloads, integrating Bitcoin mining, HPC services, and green-energy trading into a synergistic revenue model.
Reporting Currency
The Company intends to change the reporting currency of its consolidated financial statements from Renminbi to U.S. dollars, reflecting the profile of its revenue and profit after the divestiture of its China assets in May 2025. The change is expected to be effective from the Company's results for the third quarter 2025, which will be reported in U.S. dollars. All comparative numbers will be recast in U.S. dollars.
