The form of currency has evolved from commodity currency, metal currency, paper currency to electronic currency, and has now extended to broader monetary levels such as credit currency and highly liquid financial assets.

With the rapid development of digital technologies such as blockchain, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the impact of technology on the evolution of currency has become more profound, and digital currency has emerged and frequently appeared in reports.

Recently, Meitu announced that it has purchased 175 bitcoins again, spending more than $10 million. After three purchases, the company's digital currency holdings have reached $100 million. Meitu officials previously explained that the purchase of bitcoins and other digital currencies showed Meitu's ambition and determination to accept technological innovation, thus preparing to enter the blockchain industry.

However, from a practical point of view, the $100 million in digital currency purchased by Meitu was obviously also for investment and profit, and it has already made a lot of money on paper.

Some media have calculated the accounts for Meitu. According to the current market conditions, if Meitu did not reduce its holdings, the book profit of $100 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum would be close to $19 million, or about 124 million RMB. Meitu has only been buying digital currencies for more than a month, and the profit of 124 million is more than twice the net profit last year. It should be noted that last year was the first time Meitu made a profit after its listing. In the past few years, it did not make much money from making mobile phones, Meitu Xiuxiu software and apps, but it made twice the annual profit by investing in Bitcoin in more than a month.

As the attention paid to crypto assets increases, the influence of blockchain technology behind it also increases. Many companies have paid attention to this technology and see its potential for growth.
