About Jihan Wu

Jihan Wu is the cofounder and chairman of Chinese mining-chip giant Bitmain Technologies.

Founded in 2013, Bitmain is China's largest cryptocurrency mining-chip company; it specializes in selling ASIC-chip miners.

Bitmain reportedly filed for a U.S. IPO in October 2019, more than a year after a failed attempt to go public on Hong Kong's stock exchange.

Wu received a dual degree in economics and psychology from Peking University.

He cofounded a crypto financial services startup called Matrixport in February 2019.

He owns about 20% of Bitmain, which is less than Zhan's 36% stake.
