Recent Updates from Bitmain
As previously reported by CryptoSlate, leaked financial data revealed that the company captured $1.2 billion in profits during the first quarter of 2018.
Additionally, Bitmain recently faced investor flak ahead of its upcoming IPO–courtesy of the company’s Bitcoin Cash stockpile, declining revenues from Bitcoin mining and top investors denying their rumored involvement in the mining giant’s last funding round.
