Cango buys 50 MW BTC mining site in Georgia for $19.5 million to expand energy strategy, add hosting revenue
Quick Take The 50-MW Georgia facility bought for $19.5 million is expected to generate new revenue streams through third-party hosting services, bitcoin miner Cango said on Monday. Cango recently entered the 50 EH/s tier alongside MARA and CleanSpark, as it plans to grow its holdings to over 5,000 BTC this year.
NYSE-listed crypto infrastructure firm Cango Inc. (ticker CANG) has acquired a fully operational 50-megawatt bitcoin mining facility in Georgia for $19.5 million, deepening the company’s pivot from auto services into digital assets.
The company plans to allocate 30 MW to its own fleet and 20 MW to third-party hosting, noting the site had already been hosting Cango’s machines under a prior agreement. The facility deal includes existing power distribution, immersion-ready racks, and on-site support, according to Monday's statement , enabling a “seamless transition” to the new operators.
Cango was long a China-focused automotive transaction and financing platform before pivoting to bitcoin mining in 2025. The company divested its PRC auto business and added new shareholders in June, part of a strategic transformation into a global miner. It also completed a board and management overhaul in July to finalize the shift, after it had begun moving into crypto infrastructure in late 2024 with equipment purchases.
A company-owned site with spare capacity gives Cango flexibility to shift megawatts between self-mining and customer hosting as market conditions change — a model several large U.S. miners use to balance cash flow and balance-sheet exposure.
Cango framed the purchase as crucial for expanding its broader energy strategy, with the Georgia site used to anchor both proprietary mining and a recurring-revenue hosting business. Terms beyond price weren’t disclosed.
The deal follows a recent capacity ramp. Cango joined BTC miners MARA and CleanSpark in the “50 EH/s club,” marking a fast scale-up since pivoting to bitcoin this year, The Block previously reported.
Operationally, Cango said it mined 149.1 bitcoins last week, lifting its stack to 4,678.9 BTC worth over $561 million while maintaining a full HODL stance as it “closes in on 5,000 BTC,” according to a company post on X .

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
