Bitcoin miner Canaan seeks $148M in equity amid revenue slump

Bitcoin mining company Canaan is looking for new funding after experiencing a decline in revenue and profits. In its Q3 2023 earnings report, the company announced plans to sell $148 million in equity through an at-the-market offering. Canaan also recently agreed to issue up to 125,000 preferred stock at $1,000 each to an undisclosed institutional investor for a total of $125 million. The decline in revenue is attributed to a decrease in the number of Bitcoin mined and a fall in the number of ASIC mining rigs sold, as well as increased pricing competition and a softening in purchasing power. Canaan expects its Q4 revenue to remain unchanged due to challenging market conditions.

  • Stablecoin market value has grown for 11 consecutive months, breaking through $168 billion to hit a record high

    According to Cointelegraph, DefiLlama data shows that the market value of stablecoins has grown for 11 consecutive months, reaching a historical high of $168 billion (currently about $168.1 billion), surpassing the previous peak in March 2022 ($167 billion). This data does not include algorithmic stablecoins, whose value is maintained through algorithmic mechanisms rather than being linked to external assets such as fiat currency or gold.Crypto analyst Patrick Scott believes this is a sign of "new money flowing into the cryptocurrency space." In his X post on August 26th, he wrote, "Stablecoins have reached a new all-time high. The total market value of stablecoins, excluding algorithmic stablecoins, has now reached a historical high, surpassing the previous high in early 2022." When asked by another user if institutional investment was driving this increase, although he did not speculate on the reason for the increase, he did point out that "retail trading has been ongoing for at least eight months."According to CCData's report in July, stablecoin trading volume decreased by 8.35% last month due to reduced trading activity on centralized exchanges. The report noted that concerns about the future of USDT in Europe due to MiCA regulations were one of the reasons for the decrease in stablecoin trading activity on centralized exchanges in July. According to CoinMarketCap's data, this trend has continued into August, with current market trading volume slightly above $46 billion.

The plaintiffs requested a permanent injunction from the court which mandates that EIA first complies with the law before going ahead to request the data.
