  • Share repurchases and cryptocurrency holdings provide some support. Canaan repurchased approximately 16.4 million ADSs for $7.4 million through September 8. Its cryptocurrency treasury reached a record 1,915 BTC and 3,952 ETH, while the company mined 243 bitcoins during the quarter. Canaan Second-Quarter 2026 Financial Results
