Canaan said it has secured a purchase order from an unnamed U.S.-based bitcoin miner for more than 50,000 units of its latest-generation Avalon A15 Pro mining machines — scheduled for delivery by the end of the year.
With a hashrate of approximately 218 TH/s per unit, the order translates into over 10 EH/s of total computing power when fully deployed — about 1.4% of the current total Bitcoin network capacity.
"This milestone order represents a significant win for Canaan and reflects the robust resurgence of the U.S. market," Canaan CEO and Chairman Nangeng Zhang said. "It highlights not only the strength of our Avalon A15 Pro but also our deep commitment to serving customers worldwide, with a particular focus on building long-term partnerships in the U.S. market."
The news builds on a wave of Avalon installations this year at competing bitcoin miners Cipher Mining and CleanSpark.
"With a focus on delivering machines that combine quality, performance, and strong return on investment, we remain dedicated to delivering the highest quality mining infrastructure and to supporting our customers' growth with innovation, reliability, and trust," Zhang added.
