Cango Acquires 50 MW Bitcoin Mining Facility in Georgia
- Cango Expands Energy Strategy with 50 MW Purchase
- Some of the capacity will be used for third party hosting
- Mining company maintains HODL stance with nearly 5.000 BTC
Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG), a cryptocurrency infrastructure company, announced the acquisition of a fully operational 50-megawatt Bitcoin mining facility in Georgia for $19,5 million. The move reinforces the company's strategic transition from the automotive sector to digital assets and mining infrastructure.
According to the company, 30 MW of the new facility will be dedicated to its own mining fleet, while the remaining 20 MW will be made available for third-party hosting. The site had already hosted Cango equipment through a previous contract, and the agreement includes power distribution, immersion-ready racks, and on-site support, ensuring what the company called a "seamless transition" to full operation.
The shift to Bitcoin mining began in late 2024, when Cango began acquiring equipment. In 2025, the company completed the sale of its automotive business in China, restructured its board and management, and attracted new investors, solidifying its position as a global mining company.
Ownership of the facility gives the company the flexibility to adjust energy allocation between its own mining and hosting operations based on market conditions, a common strategy among large US mining companies to balance cash flow and asset exposure.
Cango emphasized that the site will be key to expanding its energy strategy, combining direct mining with recurring revenue from hosting services. Although additional details of the agreement were not disclosed, the acquisition comes amid a recent capacity increase by the mining company, which has entered the so-called "50 EH/s club" alongside companies like MARA and CleanSpark.
Last week, the company mined 149,1 BTC, bringing its reserves to 4.678,9 BTC, valued at over $561 million, while maintaining a HODL stance. "We are approaching 5.000 BTC," the company stated in a post on X, reinforcing its focus on accumulating reserves and expanding its operations.
