About Wu Jihan
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.
