Canaan Inc., a NASDAQ-listed crypto mining heavyweight, has dropped its July 2025 mining update, and the numbers keep stacking. The company mined 89 bitcoins last month, pushing its total stash to a solid 1,511 BTC. It’s all part of Canaan’s steady, long-game strategy; building a hefty bitcoin reserve to strengthen its position in the ever-competitive mining arena.
Hashrate Drops After Kazakhstan and Texas Exits
Even though the company managed to produce 89 BTC in July, just edging through June’s 88, Canaan’s mining muscle took a slight hit. The operational hashrate also dipped to 6.24 EH/s from 6.57 EH/s in June, well below the deployed capacity of 7.95 EH/s. There is a reason for this slowdown. The company has recently pulled out of Kazakhstan due to shifting business conditions and shut down an underperforming hosting deal in South Texas. Both of these moves have left some rigs temporarily unplugged, but they are also making a way for leaner, more efficient operations ahead.
According to Canaan’s management team, about half of the mining rigs that went offline during these changes should be back in action by August after their redeployment. The company has been shifting equipment to increase efficiency and cut power bills, bringing its average all-in power cost in July down to $0.042 per kWh, a strong competitive rate in the mining industry.
North America Emerges as Strategic Hub for Mining Operations
Canaan’s move out of Kazakhstan is part of a bigger plan. The company is planning to focus more on mining in places that are cheaper and more efficient. Lately the company has been growing its presence in North America, where mining machines run better and power is more reliable. Operations there average about 20.1 J/TH in energy efficiency, compared to 29.7 J/TH in other regions, giving Canaan a clear cost edge.
Canaan also reiterated its plan to hold onto mined bitcoins and include them as a part of its long-term BTC reserve strategy. The total holdings of the company is currently about 1,511 BTC which includes coins recorded on the balance sheet and in receivables but exclude any customer deposits. This approach, which is a very cautious one, gives the company more financial flexibility and the opportunity to benefit from potential future increases in BTC’s value.
Avalon Hardware Gains Momentum with Major Client Orders
Canaan’s mining machines, especially their Avalon series, are well-known for being reliable, durable and efficient. These machines have earned a strong praise in the industry and in order to support its growth, the company has also recently signed a hardware supply deal with major miners like Cipher Mining and CleanSpark.
In Q3 2025, Canaan will deliver 6,840 Avalon A15 Pro miners to Cipher Mining’s Black Pearl site. This shows a continued trust in the company’s tech and manufacturing. The company is also streamlining operations by adjusting its location and improving costs through new hosting and power deals. Ending the South Texas hosting contract is part of a plan to focus on sites with better economics and reliability, which should give a push to uptime and performance in the coming months.
Canaan is reshaping where it operates and cutting costs by striking smarter hosting and power deals. Canaan’s decision to drop the South Texas hosting deal is all about zeroing in on sites with better profits and steadier performance. The goal is to keep the rigs humming longer and push mining output higher in the coming months.
