Canaan may sell more bitcoin for stock buybacks as mining-rig revenue falls 96%
Bitcoin miner Canaan is increasingly turning to cryptocurrency holdings to fund share buybacks as its mining-rig business suffers a 96% revenue collapse.
The company launched a $20 million repurchase program under a broader $100 million authorization, while reporting third-quarter hardware revenue of just $4.8 million versus $118.6 million a year earlier; it previously sold 54.5 BTC and 3,952 ETH to finance buybacks.
Further cryptocurrency sales could create additional selling pressure on BTC and ETH, while continued repurchases may support Canaan's struggling stock.
