The official tweet further revealed that the total amount of pre-sale orders for mining machines in the fourth quarter of this year and the first quarter of next year was over 45 million.
The net revenue of Canaan in quarter three came down to $24 million, suggesting the mining machine manufacturer has taken significant price cuts to maintain its position in the market. The firm sold 2.9 million terahashes per second (TH/s) of computing power from July to September averaging $8.27 per tera hash which is a significant 70% drop from the third quarter of 2019 when they sold at an average price of $27.5 per TH/s.
The quarterly revenue of Canaan might have seen a significant dip on a YOY basis, however, the share price of the crypto mining manufacturer has soared by almost 200% over the past two months generating great returns for the investors. The rise in share prices is being attributed to the ongoing bullish rally of bitcoin, where the top cryptocurrency has breached the $19,000 mark again after a sharp 14% correction on Friday.
