Bitmain to Open 20000 Sq. Foot Office in Silicon Valley

Bitmain continues to consolidate itself as the world leader in the crypto mining market; and the expansion plans of Jihan Wu, its CEO, are still underway after a steady stream of successes.

The company that created the famous Bitcoin ASICs “Antminers” has decided to expand its operations to the United States, and did it in a big way: It will move to a 20,000 square feet (over 1800 square meters) of office space in downtown San Jose, CA, filling the last vacancy in the city’s Riverpark Towers.

The ostentatious business play is worthy of the most important company in the world of cryptos, especially considering that its IPO is planned for this same year.

Similarly, the strategic location allows it to have better access and contact with other fintech and startups that see in Silicon Valley a perfect ecosystem to settle.
