Cango Inc. Operational Update for March 2026

Cango Inc., a prominent player in the bitcoin mining landscape, recently released its operational report for March 2026. This document highlights the company's strategic initiatives aimed at optimizing its mining operations and improving overall profitability. In light of the volatile market conditions, Cango is shifting its focus from mere expansion to ensuring stronger cash margins.

Optimizing Mining Operations

Cango has strategically undertaken several steps to enhance its mining fleet's efficiency. The core of this effort involves streamlining operations by discontinuing less effective miners and exploring alternative models, such as renting out hashrate in regions characterized by higher hosting costs. Furthermore, the company is migrating its operational capacities to areas with more affordable energy sources.

As of March 31, 2026, Cango reported a total operational hashrate of 37.01 EH/s. This figure comprises its proprietary mining fleet and agreements concerning hashrate rentals. By focusing on a solid margin rather than sheer scale, Cango is positioning itself for a more sustainable future.

Fleet Modernization and Geographic Migration

In its modernization efforts, Cango is selectively upgrading hardware in parts of its original fleet. The company is deploying S21/S21XP series miners primarily in regions with high energy costs, such as Paraguay and Oman. This strategy allows Cango to leverage its energy-efficient models to offset electricity expenses. Simultaneously, the firm is transitioning the remainder of its fleet to stable jurisdictions with lower operational costs.

Revenue Sharing Agreements

Cango has implemented a revenue-sharing model in high-cost locations through partnerships with hosting providers for the terms of its contracts. This collaborative approach aligns interests effectively, ensuring that operations remain profitable for both Cango and its partners amid market fluctuations.

Although certain optimization initiatives are still in the pipeline, the overarching goal is to secure positive cash margins at the site level to better shield the primary mining business from potential downturns.

Proactive Cost Management

Transitioning to a leaner production model has led to a significant decline in unit production costs. By March 2026, Cango achieved an average cash cost per coin of $68,215.83, marking a 19.3% reduction from the average cash cost of $84,552 in the fourth quarter of 2025. This notable improvement positions Cango's mining operations for self-sustainability.

Strategic De-leveraging

In March 2026, Cango completed a strategic sale of 2,000 bitcoins, using the proceeds to pay down outstanding loans secured by bitcoin. By the end of March, the total balance of Cango's bitcoin-backed loans was $30.6 million. The company's treasury position stood at 1,025.69 bitcoins. This de-leveraging, combined with recent capital injections—including a $65 million equity investment from management and a $10 million convertible note from DL Holdings—bolsters Cango's balance sheet to support its forthcoming transition to energy and AI infrastructure.
