Jinse Finance reported that Canaan (NASDAQ: CAN) saw its stock price surge by 40% on Monday. The company’s pilot project in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, converts stranded natural gas into electricity for high-performance computing, including bitcoin mining and AI workloads. The project is co-developed with local partner Aurora AZ Energy. The pilot demonstrates how otherwise wasted resources can be transformed into productive energy for next-generation distributed AI infrastructure. Industry trends show that bitcoin mining farms are being repurposed as computing power centers to support AI and data centers. One exchange also plans to convert the Helios mining farm in Texas into a large-scale AI data center.
