As it turns its attention to artificial intelligence infrastructure, Cango has raised almost $305 million by selling 4,451 Bitcoin during the recent market downturn. The transaction points to an average price per Bitcoin of about $68,524, which is near multi-year lows.
The decision, according to the corporation, was made after a thorough analysis of market conditions and intends to improve its balance sheet while lowering debt. The money raised was utilized to pay back a loan secured by Bitcoin. As per BitcoinTreasuries, Cango still possesses 3,645 BTC, which is valued at over $250 million.
Cango intends to install modular GPU units in over 40 locations worldwide to cater to companies that require AI computing on demand. The company thinks there is a fresh opportunity because the increasing demand for AI workloads has surpassed the grid’s capacity.
Shares were mostly unchanged Monday but remain down 83% year-over-year. Cango is part of a larger movement among miners to shift their focus from mining Bitcoin exclusively. By 2027, Bitfarms intends to completely stop mining, but KBW analysts caution that there are execution risks associated with AI monetization.
Cango claims that the change sets it up for long-term growth outside of cryptocurrency cycles, despite the difficulties.
