**Canaan Inc. Supplies Avalon® ASIC Kits for Bitfury's North American Infrastructure Upgrade**

*Bitfury to enhance large-scale digital asset operations with Avalon-powered upgrade kits*

*Order marks milestone in joint R&D under strategic business collaboration*

SINGAPORE, August 28 2025 -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today announced that it has received a new purchase order from Bitfury Group ("Bitfury"), a leading full-service blockchain technology company, for Avalon® ASIC-powered upgrade kits (the "Avalon® ASIC Kit"). This equipment will be deployed at Bitfury's North American facility to upgrade up to 10MW of existing Bitcoin mining capacity, enhancing performance and energy efficiency.

Prior to receiving the order, Canaan's task force collaborated with Bitfury for several months, underscoring both companies' strong commitment to North American mining opportunities, particularly those focused on economically efficient and innovation-driven solutions.

This order reflects the dedicated R&D collaboration under the strategic relationship between Canaan and Bitfury, commencing since July 2024. Building on the previous delivery of 4,500 Avalon® A14 series for Bitfury's mining operations, this project is the outcome of a joint development effort that led to the production of Avalon® ASIC Kit, a pioneering solution combining Canaan's latest ASIC technology with Bitfury's infrastructure expertise and proven platform.

As part of this deployment, Bitfury will repurpose a substantial portion of its existing high-quality systems while upgrading them with Avalon® ASIC Kit. This approach reduces capital expenditures and electronic waste, while boosting efficiency and competitiveness at a fraction of the cost of a full rebuilding. Such a unique collaboration between two major global players underscores the leadership and flexibility of Canaan and Bitfury in delivering customized, future-ready mining solutions, and highlights a shared commitment to sustainable innovation, cost efficiency, and operational excellence.

"Our collaboration with Bitfury is a testament to our shared commitment to responsible mining and sustainable innovation," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and CEO of Canaan Inc. "Through R&D that prioritizes cost efficiency and sustainability, we are building the infrastructure that will power the future of blockchain and high-performance computing. We are honored to support Bitfury, a unique player in blockchain, HPC and AI infrastructure, with forward-thinking upgrades that enhance efficiency and prepare for the convergence of crypto mining and AI data center technologies."

"At Bitfury, we continually seek partners that can help us enhance the scale, efficiency, and sustainability of our infrastructure, and Canaan has been a valuable technology partner in our crypto mining operations," said Val Vavilov, co-founder and CEO of Bitfury Group. "This collaboration with Canaan demonstrates how our joint R&D and infrastructure expertise, together with Canaan's ability to consistently deliver high-performance, dependable products, can deliver meaningful innovations for the industry."

As the mining sector matures, forward-thinking strategies like infrastructure re-use, energy optimization, and deep technical collaboration are becoming essential, particularly for environmentally conscious operations. By partnering with leading operators like Bitfury, Canaan continues to support decentralized innovation with a focus on sustainability, reliability, and performance. Both companies plan to explore further upgrades and innovation opportunities in North America and beyond.
