Canaan Inc. Secures Follow-on Order from Tether for Advanced Mining Systems

Key Facts

1Canaan announced it has secured a follow-on order from Tether for custom high-density mining hash board modules.

2The modules were developed to support Tether's next-generation immersion-cooled mining and compute systems.

Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) has secured a follow-on order from Tether for customized hash board modules, specifically targeting large-scale mining farms with these new modular solutions. Developed in collaboration with ACME Swisstech, this infrastructure utilizes ASIC-based modules designed for deployment at a Tether-affiliated facility in South America by 2026. The system introduces a sophisticated architecture that separates compute, power, and cooling, allowing for the independent optimization of each component. This modular approach enables component-level upgrades and real-time performance adjustments, significantly optimizing capital expenditure for industrial-scale operations. The partnership also features an open-source Mining Development Kit (MDK) to unify Bitcoin mining control and enable AI-ready automation. This expansion solidifies Tether's strategic intent to deepen its technical influence across the global Bitcoin infrastructure ecosystem.
