About Micree Zhan
Micree Zhan cofounded Chinese crypto mining giant Bitmain Technologies with Jihan Wu in 2013.
After a longstanding power struggle with Wu and other Bitmain executives, Zhan was ousted from the firm in October 2019.
Bitmain is China's largest digital currency mining company, specializing in selling ASIC-chip miners. Zhan remains its largest shareholder.
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.
Zhan graduated from Shandong University in 2001 with a degree in electrical engineering, and later built the ASIC chips that power Bitmain's hardware.
