In Q1 2022, Canaan reported a decrease in <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/tag/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> mining computing power sales of 75.8 percent from Q4 2021 due to reduced ASIC costs.

Canaan’s net income shifted to a loss of $63.6 million in Q4 2022 from a profit of $182.0 million in Q4 2021 despite the strength of the division. According to Canaan’s CFO Jin Cheng, the company’s loss was caused by the following factors: inventory write-downs; research and development costs associated with the development of the company’s new line of ASICs.
Canaan’s chairman and CEO, Nangeng Zhang stated:
<blockquote>
 “To mitigate demand risks during the market downturn, we have been diligently improving and developing our mining business. Our efforts yielded more progress in early 2023 with 3.8 EH/s hash rate installed for mining as of the end of February. Accordingly, we have made decisive investments in bolstering our production capacity and expanding our mining operations to more varied geographic regions that offer advantageous conditions.”
</blockquote>
The company’s annual sales dropped by 13.8%, to $634.9 million, as a result of market circumstances in Q1 and Q2 2022. Now, the company’s assets are $706 million, while its liabilities are $67 million.
