## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Canaan Inc. Provides March 2026 Bitcoin Production and Mining Operation Updates**

*Expanded North American capacity with over 10 MW added*

*Achieved record high cryptocurrency treasury of 1,808 BTC and 3,952 ETH*

 

SINGAPORE, April 15, 2026 /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 March 31, 2026.

**Management Commentary**

"As we expand our role within the broader energy ecosystem, we enhanced our operational foundation in parallel," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan. "Despite a challenging macro backdrop, March was a month of solid execution. We delivered 89 BTC, growing our total cryptocurrency treasury to a record high of 1,808 BTC and 3,952 ETH."

Zhang continued, "Against the backdrop that Bitcoin's average network hashrate experienced the largest quarterly decline since 2021, we continued to grow our deployed hashrate and installed power capacity, adding over 10 MW to our network during the month. Our global installed power capacity reached 266.3 MW, supplemented by an additional 120 MW from our recently acquired joint ventures in Texas. We also continued to improve fleet efficiency, bringing our average miner efficiency to 18.7 J/TH in North America, reflecting our disciplined approach to operational and cost management."

"With our Canada 'gas-to-compute' project coming online, we are advancing our position within the broader energy ecosystem. Looking ahead, we see our role evolving beyond traditional mining toward a vertically integrated energy infrastructure platform. By combining compute with energy optimization, including heat exchange and reuse, we can improve efficiency while allowing bitcoin mining to operate as a flexible load that supports grid stability. We believe this strategy positions us to capture long-term opportunities at the intersection of energy and compute."
