The Chinese company Canaan has announced a share buyback from the market. For these purposes, the manufacturer of mining equipment will spend up to $100 million.
During the year, the company's shares sank by 85%. The company attributed such dynamics to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and macroeconomic factors in the capital market.
In September 2021, Canaan already committed $20 million to maintain its capitalization.
"Given the company's strong fundamentals and liquidity position, we would like to allocate additional capital to increase shareholder value," the statement said.
