The transaction was valued at approximately $39.75 million.<\/p>\n<p>Canaan paid for the acquisition with its own shares. Cipher will receive 53.7 million American Depositary Shares (ADS) of the company, valued at $0.7394 per share.<\/p>\n<p>The parties agreed to a six-month lock-up period for the sale of these assets.<\/p>\n<p>The ABC Projects venture comprises three data centres in Texas, USA, with a total capacity of 120 MW and a <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-are-hashrate-and-mining-difficulty-in-cryptocurrencies\">hashrate<\/a> of 4.4 EH\/s.<\/p>\n<p>The primary advantage of these sites is the low electricity cost, averaging less than $0.03 per kWh. The controlling stake (51%) will remain with WindHQ.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the deal, Canaan also acquired 6,840 Avalon A15Pro ASIC miners from Cipher. These devices previously operated at the Black Pearl site, which Cipher is now converting into a computing centre for artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Canaan CEO Nangeng Zhang described the deal as a significant step towards entering the North American market. The manufacturer plans to directly develop infrastructure in the US, aiming to increase energy consumption to 1 GW by the end of 2026. This strategy will be implemented by combining traditional Bitcoin mining with AI data centres.<\/p>\n<p>Cipher CEO Tyler Page noted that his company agreed to payment in shares, believing in Canaan&#8217;s long-term growth in the American market.<\/p>\n<p>The miner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/canaan-inc-reports-unaudited-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2025-financial-results-302683644.html\">reported<\/a> a significant recovery in financial performance in the fourth quarter, with revenue reaching $196 million. This figure is 121% higher than the previous year and marks the company&#8217;s best quarterly sales performance in three years.<\/p>\n<p>However, Canaan&#8217;s shares fell by 5.71% to $0.43. Over the past month, the stock price has decreased by 38.71%.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img-872b12dfc6f9cec7-7141995690923778.webp\" alt=\"\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a \u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430 2026-02-24 115521\" class=\"wp-image-275697\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/finance\/quote\/CAN:NASDAQ\">Google Finance<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In January, Nasdaq <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/canaan-faces-potential-delisting-from-nasdaq\">notified<\/a> Canaan of non-compliance with listing price requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canaan, a cryptocurrency mining company, acquired a 49% stake in the joint venture ABC Projects from Cipher Mining for approximately $39.75 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":94609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"Canaan acquired a 49% stake in ABC Projects from Cipher Mining for $39.75 million.","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[83,845,1137,26],"class_list":["post-94608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-business","tag-canaan","tag-cryptocurrency-mining","tag-usa"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"150","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"Canaan acquired a 49% stake in ABC Projects from Cipher Mining for $39.75 million.","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94608"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94610,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94608\/revisions\/94610"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
