**Canaan Inc. Provides November 2025 Bitcoin Production and Mining Operation Updates**

*Deployed hashrate and operating hashrate increased despite market headwinds*

*Cryptocurrency treasury reaches record 1,730 BTC and 3,951 ETH at month end*

*Operating hashrate poised to grow with approximately 1 EH/s mining capacity expected to come online by the end of 2025*

SINGAPORE, December 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today released its unaudited bitcoin mining update for the month ending November 30, 2025, showcasing solid mining output, record crypto holdings, and confirmed expansion plans entering the year-end.

**Management Commentary**

"November highlighted the strength of our operational execution and the scalability of our platform," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan. "Navigating a dynamic market environment, we remained focused on efficiency and performance, delivering stable production of 89 BTC, while growing our deployed hashrate to 9.41 EH/s and our operational hashrate to 8.12 EH/s by month-end. As we maintained our competitive power costs, we continued to enhance the efficiency of our North American fleet and expanded installed power capacity to 91.2 MW in the region, further strengthening our foundation for long-term growth."

"During this period, we strategically acquired 100 BTC during price dips, bringing our cryptocurrency treasury to 1,730 BTC and 3,951 ETH at month end." Zhang continued, "Looking ahead, we expect to bring online approximately 1 EH/s of capacity by the year-end, with additional hashrate to be energized in the first quarter of 2026. This incremental growth, combined with continued operational optimization and stringent power cost control, positions us to scale sustainably despite elevated network difficulty and competition. Going forward, we aim to leverage our vertically integrated strategy to deliver sustainable value for our shareholders across market cycles."
