Canaan, a Bitcoin (BTC) miner, reported a loss in its second-quarter financial report despite increasing mining revenue and computing power. The miner generated a total revenue of $73.9 million, while its “cost of revenues” were $143.9 million, resulting in a gross loss of $70.1 million. The firm had recorded a gross loss of $47.5 million during the first quarter. The net loss of $110.7 million included inventory write-down, provision for commitment reserve, and impairment of property and equipment, totaling $54.7 million.

Canaan revealed that its mining revenue for the second quarter grew to a historic high of $15.9 million, representing a 43.3% increase from what it generated during the first quarter of the year. The total computing power it sold during the quarter jumped by more than 44% to 6.1 million Thash/s. CEO Nangeng Zhang stated that the firm surpassed its topline guidance despite the relatively stagnant price of the flagship digital asset.

The miner, however, conceded that the regulatory environment and the unpredictability of the crypto market could pose challenges for its continued success. CFO Cheng attributed the “better-than-expected” revenue performances to improvements in its sales and mining activities. CEO Zhang noted that the firm encountered adverse impacts from regional regulatory changes and how an unnamed partner breached an agreement relating to its mining operations. Canaan suspended around 2.0 Exahash/s of its mining computing capacity after encountering regulatory issues in Kazakhstan.
