On the afternoon of March 12 , Beijing time , Bitmain held the "2021 Bitmain Partner Summit" in Shenzhen . The theme of the meeting was " Gathering Strength to Start a New Platform, Winning Together to Create the Future". Many Bitmain suppliers , customers and strategic partners gathered at the summit , and Chairman Zhan Ketuan and several company executives attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Mr. Zhan Ketuan delivered a speech on the current industry situation and transformation trends. Several senior executives of Bitmain also gave corresponding speeches on their respective segments.

Mr. Zhan Ketuan pointed out that the digital currency mining industry has entered a mature and stable scale period. With the global digital currency market value approaching 2 trillion US dollars, the global computing power distribution pattern has undergone new changes, the overseas computing power scale has gradually expanded, and mining concept stocks have gradually emerged in the US capital market .

Since its establishment in 2013 , Bitmain has been pursuing advanced technology and continuously innovating technology to achieve long-term technological leadership. Currently, Bitmain's Antminer product line covers all mainstream POW currencies today , and has long maintained the world's No. 1 market share since the company was founded.  

After explaining the changing trends of the current digital currency mining industry, Mr. Zhan Ketuan also clarified Bitmain's future development policy. He said that Bitmain will continue to be rooted in computing power, adhering to the concept of "openness, cooperation, and win-win", and achieve long-term mutual benefit and win-win with more excellent supply chain partners, and constantly enrich and give benefits to ecological partners in the fields of mining pools, mining farms, cloud computing power, energy recycling, etc., to provide solid guarantees for customers' long-term investment value.  

Strong "backing" to award supply chain partners

Bitmain has always been committed to providing the world with the best computing chips . The annual output of Antminers has reached the level of one million units, requiring hundreds of millions of chips. Behind this scale is the support of Bitmain's excellent suppliers' leading technology and abundant production, and it is also a good practice of the cooperation concept of "long-term, win-win, and loyal" between the two parties .

Sun Yonggang, IC Operations Director of Bitmain , said at the summit that in the face of changes in market demand and fluctuations in production capacity, Bitmain will take the initiative to give benefits to excellent suppliers with a more complete mechanism. Especially under the pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in market demand, Bitmain will work closely with many supply chain partners to ensure the stable production and supply of mining machines.

In order to recognize the long-term contributions of supply chain partners, Bitmain awarded 24 outstanding supply chain partners from three dimensions: chips, processing services , and materials .

Comprehensive empowerment, Bitmain business sharing

Then, Du Shisheng, Vice President of Bitmain's Mining Machine Business Department, shared his views on the deployment and planning of Bitmain's mining machine business. Since its launch, the Antminer S 19 series has led the global market with the industry's best computing power and energy efficiency ratio, excellent manufacturing quality, and perfect after-sales service. The 19 series has upgraded chip packaging, integrated heat sink and anti-corrosion design of the computing board. Its product life cycle is expected to reach more than 5 years, which has long-term investment value. He clarified the sales strategy that Bitmain will adopt in the long term in the future, which is an ordering method with a price guarantee clause.

At the same time, he pointed out that after an Antminer is shipped from the factory, Bitmain's service has just begun: whether it is mine construction and operation and maintenance, professional-level software services, maintenance needs during the use of mining machines, or the training of relevant functional talents, Bitmain will use the experience accumulated over the past eight years as a guide to solve the industry's worries; and in multiple fields such as mines, mining pools, cloud computing power, water cooling and energy recycling, Bitmain will uphold the concept of openness, cooperation and win-win, select multiple partners, and lead the industry ecology towards common prosperity.

Then, Ant Pool COO Gao Yu introduced the future development plan of Ant Pool in detail. He believes that as the mining industry enters the stage of scale and specialization, the mining group is gradually transitioning from individuals to institutions and enterprises, and the listing requirements have caused audit difficulties. Therefore, Ant Pool will target these user pain points and build a professional SaaS service platform to provide users with a more user-friendly interface, complete functions, and rich and transparent benefits. At the same time, it also provides users with professional financial services and mining services.

In addition, Guo Yiliang, head of the operation and maintenance department of Bitmain Supercomputing Service Center, also gave a speech on six major aspects, including global mining resource distribution, ecological change analysis, mining plan iteration, global high-quality power resource development and sharing, new trends in water cooling, and operation and maintenance services, and gave a comprehensive introduction to the advantages of Bitmain Supercomputing Service Center.

In terms of service innovation, Bitmain Customer Service Director Chen Jie proposed: Bitmain's customer service team adopts a combination of manual and intelligent service response mode, actively accepting customers' diverse needs in terms of business, support and after-sales; in the future, it will continue to uphold the "pursuit of ultimate customer service" and provide users with intimate, proactive and efficient services.
