The funding follows a $305 million Bitcoin sale and increases a key investor’s voting power to nearly 50%, as the company restructures its balance sheet amid sector volatility.
Bitcoin miner Cango said it closed a previously announced $10.5 million equity investment from Enduring Wealth Capital Limited and entered into agreements for an additional $65 million in equity financing from entities owned by Cango chairman Xin Jin and Chang-Wei Chiu, a director of the company.
According to Thursday’s announcement, the $10.5 million investment was completed through the issuance of seven million Class B shares priced at $1.50 each. The shares carry 20 votes per share, increasing Enduring Wealth Capital’s voting power to 49.7% from 36.7%, while its economic ownership remains below 5% of outstanding shares.
The additional $65 million would be raised through the issuance of about 49 million Class A shares, which carry one vote per share, at $1.32 each. The investments are being made through entities wholly owned by Jin and Chiu and remain subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from the New York Stock Exchange. The company said it expects the transactions to close this month.
