Q4 net loss per the company's American depositary shares (ADS) was 38 cents, compared to net earnings of 4 cents in the previous quarter and net earnings of $1 in Q4 2021.
Canaan's mining machines saw low demand in the fourth quarter of 2022, depressed by a slump in the price of bitcoin.
The manufacturer has been increasingly focused on self-mining "to mitigate demand risks during the market downturn," according to CEO and Chairman Nangeng Zhang. Canaan has installed 3.8 EH/s of computing power as of the end of February, he said .
Canaan expects to bring in $65 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2023.
At the time of writing, shares of Canaan were trading flat at $2.51 during pre-market trading.
