Bitcoin miner Cango said it sold 4,451 Bitcoin on the open market, generating approximately $305 million in net proceeds. The company said the funds were used to partially repay a Bitcoin-collateralized loan and to strengthen its balance sheet amid challenging mining conditions.
The sale was approved by Cango’s board following a review of market conditions and forms part of a broader strategy to reduce leverage while funding a planned expansion into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure. Management said the company intends to repurpose portions of its globally distributed, grid-connected infrastructure to provide compute capacity for AI workloads through a phased rollout.
Cango’s move reflects a wider trend among Bitcoin miners facing compressed margins following the 2024 halving. As network difficulty rises and mining economics tighten, miners are increasingly reallocating capital and power resources toward AI and data center services to diversify revenue and stabilize cash flows.
