SHANGHAI - Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG), a prominent player in the Bitcoin mining industry with a market capitalization of $445 million and an impressive financial health score rated "GREAT" by InvestingPro, announced its inclusion in the Bitwise Bitcoin Standard Corporations ETF (NYSE Arca: OWNB), a fund that provides investors with exposure to companies holding over 1,000 Bitcoins. This event marks a significant recognition for Cango’s recent strategic shift to Bitcoin mining. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently trades at an attractive P/E ratio of 10.8, suggesting potential value for investors interested in the crypto mining sector.

The ETF, which tracks the Bitwise Bitcoin Standard Index, was launched on March 11, 2025. Cango’s CEO, Mr. Jiayuan Lin, expressed pride in the company’s inclusion, attributing it to Cango’s achievements in the Bitcoin mining sector. The company’s success is reflected in its remarkable 202% return over the past year and strong gross profit margin of 55%. Cango has been focusing on this area since the last quarter of 2024 and has reported industry-leading productivity per hash rate and a substantial global hashrate ranking.

Cango, headquartered in Shanghai, has strategically positioned its mining operations across various global locations, including North America, the Middle East, South America, and East Africa. The company ventured into the crypto assets market in November 2024, leveraging the growing prevalence of blockchain technology and crypto assets to diversify its business portfolio. With a healthy current ratio of 1.88 and analysts forecasting 7.65% revenue growth, Cango maintains a strong financial position while expanding its operations. Despite this pivot, Cango continues to operate its automotive transaction service in China, a sector it has been part of since 2010.

Additionally, Cango announced a $30 million share buyback program, reflecting its commitment to enhancing shareholder value. The company also received a preliminary non-binding buyout offer, forming a special committee to evaluate the proposal. This potential acquisition could significantly alter Cango’s ownership structure, though details remain undisclosed.
