Bitcoin Miner Cango Sells 4,451 BTC In Strategic AI Pivot
Bitcoin miner Cango has sold 4,451 BTC for approximately $305 million in USDT, using the proceeds to partially repay a Bitcoin-collateralized loan. The sale is part of a strategic shift toward AI compute services, leveraging its global infrastructure to provide distributed computing capacity for the AI industry. While maintaining its Bitcoin mining operations—currently ranked joint third-largest globally—Cango plans a phased entry into AI, starting with serving small and medium enterprises and later developing a software orchestration platform. The company has appointed a former Zoom executive as CTO for its AI business. This move mirrors similar pivots by other miners, like Bitfarms, toward AI-focused ventures. Bitcoin is currently trading around $68,900.
