Cango Inc. (NYSE:
CANG)
is significantly expanding its focus on the digital currency mining sector. This strategic shift involves a comprehensive restructuring of its business activities, ownership structure, and executive leadership team.
The Hong Kong-based organization
divested from its former core operations
within mainland China. In addition, the company welcomed new investors and substantially increased its
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC/USD) mining capabilities through a notable acquisition.
These strategic adjustments are intended to position Cango as a more responsive and financially robust competitor within the dynamically changing global digital currency landscape.

As of May 27, 2025, Cango
completed the sale
of its business operations in China to Ursalpha Digital Limited for approximately $352 million. This transaction, approved by its shareholders, allows the organization to prioritize growth opportunities in key markets such as North America, the Middle East, and Africa. Furthermore, the company intends to de-register from the CSRC as a “China Concept Stock” to be more aligned with its global business strategy.
Following the business divestiture, there have been changes in leadership, including the departure of CFO Yongyi Zhang. Co-founder and CEO Jiayuan Lin has assumed the responsibilities of interim CFO, and two new independent board members, experts in both FinTech and AI, have joined the Board of Directors.
On June 2nd, Cango’s founding members and their related entities
transferred
10 million Class B shares to Enduring Wealth Capital Limited (EWCL) for a total of $70 million. With this transaction, EWCL has gained considerable voting influence. At the same time, the original founders are planning to convert their remaining Class B shares with superior voting rights into Class A shares with reduced voting power. This marks a significant shift in the company’s control structure.
Continuing this transformation, the organization obtained an additional 18 EH/s of digital currency mining capability on June 4 through issuing shares to Golden TechGen Limited (GT) and its associated partners. The agreement includes the addition of 146.7 million Class A shares to the market, equivalent to 73 million ADS, alongside a potential issuance of 97.8 million bonus shares determined by post-acquisition performance. This acquisition elevates Cango’s total mining capacity to 50 EH/s, reinforcing its prominent position within the global Bitcoin mining sector.
