Where CAN is headed
Canaan in mid-2027 looks nothing like the company sitting at 34 cents today. The April 2028 halving sits on the horizon, and the entire industrial mining complex is already pre-positioning hashrate for the cost shock that follows. Canaan is one of only three serious ASIC designers on the planet (Bitmain, MicroBT, Canaan), and the only one with a US listing, a real Singapore HQ, and a manufacturing footprint that has been deliberately diversified away from mainland China into Malaysia, the UAE, and Ethiopia. That geographic spread, dismissed as expensive sprawl during the 2025 downturn, becomes the asset when US miners need ASICs that don't carry tariff or sanctions risk under a Trump second-term trade regime.
