Cypherpunk Technologies now controls roughly 18% of Zcash hashrate, acquired with a warrant rather than cash, on top of 323,394 ZEC held (close to 2% of circulating supply). A single listed company holding both a large hashrate share and a large supply share on a mid-cap chain is the concentration mechanism the thesis names, and the warrant financing shows how cheaply the position was assembled.
