Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today announced that its chairman and chief executive officer, Nangeng Zhang ("Mr. Zhang"), and chief financial officer, Jin "James" Cheng ("Mr. Cheng"), had purchased additional shares of the Company's stock in the open market. The purchases were made in compliance with the Company's internal trading policies and applicable securities regulations.
Aligning themselves with shareholder interests, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cheng together acquired a total of 1,456,547 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") of the Company at an average price of US$0.51 per ADS, which reflected their continued confidence in the Company's long-term strategy and growth prospects.

"My recent share purchases reflect my strong conviction in Canaan's long-term vision and the opportunities ahead," said Nangeng Zhang. "Both James and I believe our current market valuation does not fully reflect the strength of our technology, strategy, and growth potential, and we remain confident in the value we are building for shareholders."
