Bitmain Rise and Fall in the Mining Industry

Bitmain was once the leader of the Bitcoin mining industry with its revenue hitting a billion marks during the peak of the 2017 bull run. The company led by Jihan Wu was once seen as the next big unicorn company to rise from the crypto industry, saw a similar downfall initiated by the 2018 bear market along with some bad investments that led to disagreements between the co-founder and other board members.

The firm made Wu to forcible resign from the company back in 2019, however, Wu returned and tried to ouster the then CEO and co-founder Zhen from the company. Bitmain saga finally saw an end last month when Jihan Wu finally stepped down from the board in a nearly 2 year long-drawn battle between the company and its founder with a $600 million settlement. The selling of BTC.com to 500.com marks quite a downfall of once the leader in the mining industry.
