If Tencent’s reporting is accurate, Bitmain would be the second major cryptocurrency miner manufacturer this week to file with the SEC for a U.S. IPO offering; Canaan Creative publicly filed for $400 million IPO. The new follows Tuesday’s report of Bitmain’s sudden ousting of co-founder Micree Zhann. Like Canaan, Bitmain had previously filed for an IPO via the Hong Kong Stock exchange, with Bitmain targeting a $3 billion raise, yet that application has since lapsed. Tencent’s report did not specify Bitmain’s target raise for the U.S. IPO.
