Amid growing institutional interest in digital asset infrastructure, Invesco Ltd has disclosed a significant increase in its position in Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer Canaan Inc. According to reports, Invesco now holds beneficial ownership of 632.7 million American Depository Receipts (ADRs), representing 15.0% of the company's total shares. This accumulation is largely driven by the Invesco CoinShares Global Blockchain UCITS ETF, which alone accounts for a 10.02% stake.
This acquisition reflects a broader trend among asset managers to bolster portfolios linked to blockchain technology, as Canaan competes with industry leaders like Bitmain and MicroBT. Looking at sector performance, market data indicates that peer firms have experienced high volatility correlated with Bitcoin prices, while the expansion in China's Manufacturing PMI (which reached 51.8 in June 2026 per pre-fetched data) has improved the outlook for China-based tech manufacturers like Canaan.
