He believes that the second quarter of intentionally hiding because of the significant losses due to increasing positions in Cash and Bitcoin prices falling Antminer S9 85%.

Most estimates losses Bitmain in the second quarter to $600-$700 million. He added that if the price of bitcoin will remain at current levels, the situation for the company, only worse, because you have already ordered a huge batch of semiconductor materials at TSMC.

Holding a major IPO, in his opinion, is the only way for the company to improve its position at the expense of investors who should not guess that Bitmain assets in the current situation in the market are extremely illiquid.
