Bitmain to Deploy Forces for the Bullish Market
Meanwhile, Bitmain is planning to deploy miners worth $80 million, accounting for 200,000 units, in China to take advantage of cheap hydroelectric power this summer. Ahead of the rainy season in Southwestern China, the company is planning to launch equipments to tap the unharnessed hydroelectric power in the vicinity.
The firm is most likely to use its new products such as AntMiner S11 and S15. Some of the older models that would be in use include AntMiner S9i/j. It must be remembered that the latest models S11, S15 and T15 are all marked as sold out on the Bitmain site. It is still unclear what the company is planning to mine using the equipment. It must be mentioned here that the investment that the company has made is a non-negligible opportunity cost since the revenues it incurs is mostly out of selling equipments rather than self-mining.
However, experts believe that there is a reason why the company is investing in mining. The equipments that it is using are redundant and might not be sale-worthy at the present moment. So, it has decided to use it to mine assets.
