Simon Ming Yeung Tang, a former chief investment officer with a background in investment banking, corporate law, and technology‑sector finance, has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer and director of Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG). The appointment, effective April 22, 2026, follows the resignations of former CFO Yongyi Zhang and director Chang‑Wei Chiu, who stepped down for personal reasons. Tang’s experience in investment, finance, and strategic execution is expected to strengthen the company’s financial stewardship as it continues to navigate its transition from auto finance to Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure.
Cango’s strategic pivot began in November 2024 when the company entered the digital‑asset space, and it has since shifted focus to Bitcoin mining and the development of AI infrastructure. In the most recent quarter, Bitcoin‑mining revenue totaled $172.4 million, while international automobile trading generated $4.8 million, underscoring the company’s move away from legacy auto‑finance operations. The shift has placed a premium on capital efficiency and cost control, as the company seeks to build a globally distributed mining fleet that prioritizes cash margin over scale.
The company’s Q4 2025 financial results reflected the challenges of this transition. Net income swung to a loss of $285 million, a dramatic reversal from a $2.4 million profit in Q4 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $156.3 million, compared with $2.4 million the prior year. Revenue for the quarter was $179.5 million, well below the consensus estimate of $1.24 billion. The loss was largely driven by a decline in Bitcoin prices and impairment charges on mining equipment, while the high cost of mining operations compressed margins.
Management emphasized the importance of Tang’s appointment in addressing these headwinds. CEO Paul Yu said, "Simon Ming Yeung Tang brings extensive experience in investment, finance and strategic execution, and the board believes his appointment will further strengthen the Company's leadership team as it continues to advance its strategic priorities." Yu added that the new CFO will help strengthen the balance sheet, optimize the mining fleet for cost resilience, and guide the company through its AI infrastructure rollout.
The CFO change signals a renewed focus on financial discipline and strategic execution amid a period of significant restructuring. Investors will be watching how Tang’s expertise translates into tighter cost control, improved capital allocation, and clearer guidance as Cango continues to navigate the volatility of the Bitcoin market and the capital‑intensive demands of AI infrastructure development.
