Cango Inc. (Cangu) listed on the U.S. stock market has released its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2025. The company currently focuses on Bitcoin mining as its core business, while leveraging a global presence to advance the development of an integrated energy and AI computing platform.

2025 Full Year and Fourth Quarter Financial and Operational Summary

  • Financially, the company achieved a total revenue of $688.1 million for the full year, with $179.5 million in the fourth quarter. Bitcoin mining has become the main revenue source, contributing $675.5 million annually and $172.4 million in the fourth quarter. The full-year Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) was $24.5 million, but due to multiple factors, the fourth quarter showed an Adjusted EBITDA of negative $156.3 million.
  • Operationally, the company mined a total of 6,594.6 Bitcoins in 2025, averaging about 18.07 Bitcoins per day; in the fourth quarter, output was 1,718.3 Bitcoins, averaging approximately 18.68 per day. The average cost per Bitcoin mined (excluding depreciation of mining equipment) for the year was $79,707, and including all costs, $97,272; in the fourth quarter, these costs were $84,552 and $106,251 respectively. As of the end of 2025, the company has mined a total of 7,528.4 Bitcoins since entering the mining business.
  • Strategically, the company has completed the termination of its ADR (American Depositary Receipt) program and transitioned to direct listing on the NYSE. This move aims to enhance transparency, align with its current strategic direction, and potentially expand its investor base in the long term.

CEO Paul Yu stated that 2025 marked the beginning of the company’s transformation into a Bitcoin mining enterprise. During this year, the company completed a systematic restructuring of its asset portfolio and established a globally distributed mining network. Additionally, the company introduced new senior management to further strengthen its expertise and competitive edge in digital assets and energy infrastructure. With the completion of the NYSE direct listing and a shift to a USD reporting system, the company is gradually transforming into a global provider of AI infrastructure.

He further noted that entering 2026, the company is working on optimizing its asset-liability structure and improving the efficiency and cost of its mining equipment. Meanwhile, the company is advancing its transition toward AI infrastructure. Through the EcoHash platform, it plans to leverage its scale in computing power and energy networks to offer more flexible and cost-effective AI inference services. Related site renovations have already begun, and product development is ongoing.

Michael Zhang, Cango’s CFO, stated: “In 2025, driven by the scale of Bitcoin mining, the company achieved significant revenue growth. However, due to one-time transformation costs and fair value adjustments driven by market factors, our ongoing operations recorded a net loss of $452.8 million. Financially, we will focus on optimizing our balance sheet by adjusting Bitcoin reserve strategies and strengthening liquidity management to reduce leverage. Additionally, the company is actively raising new capital to enhance its financial strength, maintaining sufficient flexibility amid market volatility and continuing investments in high-potential areas including AI infrastructure.”
