With his baby face, eyeglasses and go-to outfit of T-shirt, jeans and
sneakers, Jihan Wu looks more like a geeky teenager than a self-made
billionaire.
But thanks to an early foray into cryptocurrencies, the soft-spoken 32-year-
old is sitting on what may be one of the industry’s largest fortunes.
Wu runs Bitmain Technologies Ltd., the world’s dominant producer of
cryptocurrency mining chips. The Chinese company has been shrouded in
secrecy since its founding five years ago
Wu said Bitmain booked $2.5 billion of revenue last year and that he and co-
founder Micree Zhan together own about 60 percent of the business
Bitmain controls as much as 80 percent of the market for crypto mining gear,
according to a February report from Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., whose most
conservative estimate of the company’s operating profit is similar to that
of Nvidia’s. |
