Garg also details that ZJBC’s chairman, Wu Ying, “was one of the main investors in Microbt” back in 2019. Zhongjia Bochuang declared this information with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) on October 28, 2019.

The news also follows the recent crypto purchases by the publicly listed Chinese firm Meitu, a company that added bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) to its balance sheet. In 2018, Garg said reports had shown that ZJBC reportedly took in “50 million yuan or around $7.6 million” from bitcoin mining revenue.

ZJBC is one of the rare Chinese companies that are open about its digital currency ventures Garg highlighted. ZJBC’s corporate filing with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange,” Garg writes. “Showed that just under 3% of its equity is connected to Chinese state capital, showing a direct connection between the Chinese government and bitcoin mining,” the author added.
