Canaan held about 1,875 BTC at Sept. 30, announced a $20 million share buyback and said its 1 GW Duval County, Texas, project received a conditional grid classification from ERCOT.

Revenue was $14.5 million, near the top of its guidance, the company said on Tuesday. Mining-equipment sales contributed $4.8 million and its own mining operations $9.5 million, producing 133 BTC.

A Non-Cash Gain

Chief Financial Officer Jin Cheng said the fair-value gain is "distinct from underlying operating performance." Inventory write-downs fell to about $8.2 million from $25.3 million in the second quarter, and mining gross margin was about 30% before depreciation, he said.

Texas Power Projects

Canaan's 1 GW project in Duval County, Texas, received a conditional "Studied Load – Firm" classification under ERCOT's Batch Zero process, subject to further studies and approvals, the company said. It is also developing a second 1 GW project in Zapata County, which is in early-stage development.
