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 total revenue of $688.1 million for the full year, with $179.5 million in the fourth quarter. Bitcoin mining has become the primary revenue source, contributing $675.5 million for the year and $172.4 million in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) for the full year was $24.5 million, but due to multiple factors, the fourth quarter recorded an adjusted EBITDA loss of $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.

Since entering the mining business, the company has mined a total of 7,528.4 Bitcoins as of the end of 2025.

Strategically, the company has completed the termination of its ADR (American Depositary Receipt) program and transitioned to direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange. This move aims to enhance transparency, align with its current strategic direction, and potentially expand its investor base over 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 strengthen expertise and competitive advantage in digital assets and energy infrastructure. With the completion of its direct NYSE listing and transition to a USD reporting system, the company is gradually shifting toward becoming 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 mining equipment. The company is also 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 our large-scale Bitcoin mining operations, we 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 are focusing on optimizing our balance sheet by adjusting Bitcoin reserve strategies and strengthening liquidity management to reduce leverage. We are also actively raising new capital to enhance our financial strength, maintain sufficient flexibility amid market volatility, and continue investing in high-potential areas including AI infrastructure.”
