BITMAIN's Twitter Score is 109 out of 1000 (an Excellent rating) as of August 2026, ranking #6,337 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.
BITMAIN was co-founded by Micree Zhan and Jihan Wu and has grown into one of the most prominent producers of Bitcoin mining ASICs globally, backed by Sequoia Capital and IDG Capital. BITMAIN filed for a Hong Kong IPO on 26 September 2018, but the application lapsed on 26 March 2019. A 2018 U.S. class action lawsuit alleged that BITMAIN mined cryptocurrency for its own benefit on customers' devices during ASIC initialization, though those claims remain allegations. In 2019, co-founder Micree Zhan filed lawsuits seeking to regain control of the company during an internal dispute.
BITMAIN operates the mining pool Antpool and previously maintained affiliations with BTC.com and Bitdeer, both of which separated from BITMAIN in 2021 as part of the resolution of the co-founder dispute, with Jihan Wu stepping down at that time. In June 2021, BITMAIN suspended spot delivery sales of mining machines globally following China's mining crackdown. Its subsidiary Sophgo was placed on the U.S. Entity List in January 2025 after a TSMC-made chip was found in a Huawei AI processor, according to U.S. government action.
BITMAIN has published 2,541 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 696 accounts a total of 2,535 times. BITMAIN's portfolio includes Avalanche, Aelf, Circle, Liquid Global Official, NULS, BitKan, Cortex Labs and Ai.
