Cango increases Bitcoin holdings by 7.65 BTC to 1,065 BTC after selling thousands earlier this year
Cango Inc. added 7.65 BTC to its treasury in May 2026, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 1,065.11 BTC.
The great Bitcoin sell-off of 2026
In early February 2026, Cango sold 4,451 BTC for approximately $305 million. The company used the proceeds primarily to repay outstanding debts.
Then in March, another 2,000 BTC went out the door to reduce Bitcoin-backed loans, which brought Cango’s debt down to $30.6 million. After that sale, the company was left holding just 1,025.69 BTC.
The April 30 figure stood at 1,057.46 BTC, meaning the company added roughly 32 BTC between the end of March and end of April before tacking on the 7.65 BTC in May.
Mining efficiency over mining volume
Cango reported an operational hashrate of 31.58 EH/s in April 2026. The company mined approximately 230 BTC in April.
Cango reported a 19.3% reduction in average cash costs per mined Bitcoin as of March 2026.
The AI pivot and what it means for investors
The $305 million from February’s Bitcoin sale wasn’t just about paying off debt. Cango has been vocal about redirecting capital toward AI computing infrastructure, joining a growing list of crypto mining companies that see their energy-intensive data center operations as a natural bridge to AI workloads.
For Cango specifically, the transition means the company’s Bitcoin treasury is no longer the primary indicator of corporate health. Investors now need to evaluate Cango on the strength of its AI strategy, its mining efficiency, and its ability to generate sustainable cash flows from diversified operations.

100 Million Barrels Shrinkage? Reports Say EU Believes Oil Reserve Release Plan Mainly Fulfills Previous Commitments, Not New Quotas
Last Friday, G7 member countries agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel reserves. The IEA had announced a plan to release 400 million barrels in March, and as of last Friday, about 75 million barrels had yet to be released. Most EU member states believe that this action is simply fulfilling previous commitments rather than adding new releases. Regarding the earlier-than-scheduled release of diesel stocks emphasized in last week's G7 agreement, EU member states consider it feasible, but on a limited scale.
