Chinese automotive transaction service platform Cango (CANG), which pivoted to bitcoin mining on year ago, plans to strengthen is footing in this area as well as entering the artificial intelligence (AI) high-performance computing (HPC) market.
Cango said it will prioritize optimizing its bitcoin mining business by improving uptime and improving the energy efficiency of its operations in a letter to shareholders on Thursday.

The company is also pursuing a targeted entry into AI HPC, the technology that powers complex AI tasks such as training large-language models (LLMs) and analyzing massive datasets.
As part of these goals, Cango said it will "continue to acquire and develop dual-purpose energy infrastructure, ensuring assets service immediate bitcoin mining needs while being architected to support future HPC deployments."
The firm's board has also approved a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which it expects to go live on Nov. 17.
Cango forayed into bitcoin mining last November, spending $400 million to acquire 50 exahash per second (EH/s) of power.
Since then, the company acquired a 50 MW mining facility in the state of Georgia for $19.5 million and has grown its bitcoin holdings to just over 6,400 BTC ($656 million).
CANG shares are priced at $3.55 as of Wednesday's close. This is an increase of over 27% compared to a year ago, but some 50% lower than the $5-$5.50 range in which it traded throughout much of the summer.

To freeze or not to freeze: Satoshi and the $440 billion in bitcoin threatened by quantum computing
As quantum computing inches closer to reality, nearly 7 million bitcoin, including Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1 million coins, are potentially at risk.
Cosa sapere:
- Quantum computers powerful enough to break Bitcoin's cryptography could expose roughly 7 million coins, including about 1 million attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, worth an estimated $440 billion at current prices.
- The Bitcoin community is split between preserving strict neutrality and immutability—letting quantum attackers claim vulnerable coins—and intervening through protocol changes such as burning or migrating at-risk coins to quantum-resistant addresses.
- While some experts warn that recent research may accelerate the timeline for breaking current encryption, others argue the threat remains distant and can be addressed through engineering upgrades rather than drastic governance changes.
