**Canaan Inc. Announces Strategic Investment from Brevan Howard, Galaxy Digital, and Weiss Asset Management**

*Investment from top-tier institutional investors advances Canaan's mission to build next-generation bitcoin and high-performance computing infrastructure*

*Straight equity investment reflects Canaan's strong fundamentals and disciplined growth approach*

SINGAPORE, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today announced that BH Digital, a division of Brevan Howard, Galaxy Digital, and Weiss Asset Management (in alphabetical order) made a strategic investment totaling US$72 million in Canaan through the purchase of American depositary shares ("ADSs"), each representing 15 Class A ordinary shares of the Company. No warrants, options, or other derivative instruments were issued as part of this transaction.

This investment represents a strategic shift in Canaan's capital markets strategy, aligning the Company with three well-respected, fundamentals-driven investment firms.

"We are deeply grateful to Brevan Howard, Galaxy Digital, and Weiss Asset Management for their participation," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and CEO of Canaan. "This transaction underscores the Company's growing alignment with institutional investors active in the digital-asset ecosystem. The investment will support Canaan's continued innovation and growth across all areas of its business, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening the Bitcoin ecosystem through every phase of the cycle."

Zhang continued, "This investment marks an important milestone for Canaan. It is expected to add approximately 63.7 million ADSs in institutional ownership, reflecting the growing confidence of global investors in our technology, execution, and long-term strategy. Equally notable, this is a straightforward equity investment—common stock with no warrants or derivatives—reflecting the strength of our fundamentals and the trust our new equity investors have in Canaan's future."

The capital raised through this investment will strengthen Canaan's financial position and reduce reliance on future capital raises through the ATM or other potentially dilutive financing structures. The proceeds will be directed toward high-return, utility-grade computing and energy infrastructure projects designed to improve asset efficiency and long-term revenue visibility.

To facilitate this investment, the Company and the investors have entered into securities purchase agreements (the "Securities Purchase Agreements") for the issuance and sale by the Company of an aggregate of 63,660,477 ADSs at a purchase price of US$1.131 per ADS, in a registered direct offering. No warrants, options, or other derivative instruments are being issued in connection with this transaction.

Each Securities Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the Company currently anticipates that the closings of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement will take place on November 6, 2025. Additional information regarding this offering and the Securities Purchase Agreement will be included in a Form 6-K to be filed by Canaan with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The securities described above will be offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-285125) previously filed with the SEC, which became effective on February 21, 2025. The securities may be offered only by means of a written prospectus and prospectus supplement that form a part of the registration statement. The prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus contain important information relating to the ADS offering. The prospectus supplement will be filed with the SEC and will be made available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, or may be obtained, when available, by contacting us 28 Ayer Rajah Crescent, #06-08, Singapore 139959, or by email at IR@canaan-creative.com.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
