Leading Bitcoin mining enterprise, Cango, revealed on June 3rd that it generated close to $100.5 million in Bitcoin value within the initial two months following its complete strategic shift towards cryptocurrency mining operations.
According to the announcement, Cango successfully mined 954.5 Bitcoin (BTC) after fully committing to its mining endeavors. The total production included 470 BTC mined during April and 484.5 BTC mined throughout May.
This impressive output comes after Cango reached an agreement to divest its pre-existing Chinese business to an entity linked with Bitmain. This strategic move, finalized in early April, enables Cango to concentrate exclusively on Bitcoin mining operations.
Earlier in May, Cango indicated a first-quarter 2025 mining output of 1,541 BTC. At the time of the report, this volume was estimated to be worth approximately $162 million.

An Operation Exhibiting Significant Growth
Cango reported its mining operations ran with an average hashrate nearing 30 exahashes per second throughout April and May. In the realm of Bitcoin mining, hashrate signifies the computational capacity of a miner, measured by the number of cryptographic hashes calculated per second.
Miners engage in a computationally intensive process resembling trial and error. This involves repeatedly calculating the hash value of a prospective block, while making minor data adjustments until a hash value is discovered that meets the criteria for valid block confirmation, in return for newly minted Bitcoin.
A higher hashrate increases the probability of a miner successfully solving a block and receiving newly generated BTC, according to the proof-of-work consensus mechanism.

Founders Announce Agreement with Enduring Wealth
In a separate announcement, Cango’s co-founders, Xiaojun Zhang and Jiayuan Lin, disclosed their entry into an agreement to sell 10 million of their Class B shares, characterized by elevated voting rights, to Enduring Wealth Capital for a sum of $70 million. This transaction remains subject to shareholder approval.
The company will maintain the existing voting power of these shares at 20 votes per share. Furthermore, the founders plan to convert all of their remaining Class B shares into Class A shares, each possessing one vote.
Upon the successful completion of this agreement, Enduring Wealth Capital is poised to acquire a controlling voting stake, exceeding half of the total votes, or potentially less than 37% should Cango issue additional shares related to mining-rig acquisitions. However, the firm will hold less than 5% of the economic equity.
