Canaan to Exit AI Chip Business, Double Down on Bitcoin Mining Amid Realignment

Canaan just made a power move that'll send shockwaves through both the semiconductor and crypto sectors. The Chinese tech firm is ditching its AI chip ambitions to double down on Bitcoin mining hardware—betting big on the digital gold rush.

Why the pivot? Because when you're staring down a volatile AI market versus Bitcoin's relentless hash rate growth, the choice gets simple. Canaan's betting ASICs will print more money than neural networks—at least until the next halving.

Wall Street analysts are already sharpening their knives: 'Nothing says confidence like abandoning a $137 billion AI market to chase mining margins,' quipped one fund manager. Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are cheering—Canaan's Avalon miners just became the industry's newest religion.

One thing's certain: in the high-stakes poker game of tech strategy, Canaan just went all-in on orange pill economics. Whether that's genius or desperation depends entirely on Bitcoin's next price swing.
