MicroBT

MicroBT produces the WhatsMiner line of cryptocurrency mining equipment. 
MicroBT was founded by Zuoxing Yang in 2016, a month after he left Bitmain in a compensation dispute. Yang had been a top designer of Bitmain's Antminer S9.
 
Bitmain sued MicroBT in 2017 for patent infringement on an integrated circuit. Bitmain lost the suit and the court revoked Bitmain's patent finding that the design had already been in wide use.
The company raised about $22 million from Chinese sources. It told Bloomberg in October 2018 that it was profitable in the first half of that year. In September 2019, Yang told the New Era Mining Summit that it expected to have shipped 200,000 M20 Whatsminers, its latest design, by the end of the month. 
Chinese press sources reported in November 2019 that Yang had been arrested by Chinese police at the end of October in response to allegations of intellectual property theft. The Chinese press confirmed to CoinDesk that the arrest occurred amidst management turbulence at Bitmain.
According to a December 15, 2019, Bloomberg report, local prosecutors in Shenzhen issued a statement on December 12 that Yang was suspected of embezzlement and that the investigation continued. 
In March 2021, Bitfarms, a publicly traded Canadian bitcoin farming operation, reported that it had ordered 48,000 bitcoin mining rigs with delivery scheduled to begin in January 2022.

MicroStrategy

MicroStrategy is a software firm that provides tools for business analytics as well as serves as a speculative bitcoin investment vehicle. While not a cryptocurrency native company, MicroStrategy reportedly became the first publicly-listed company to allocate capital reserves to cryptocurrency when it purchased 21,454 bitcoin in August 2020.
MicroStrategy announced on August 11, 2020 that it had invested approximately $250 million in bitcoin saying, “Our investment in bitcoin is part of our new capital allocation strategy, which seeks to maximize long-term value for our shareholders.” The company alluded to its upcoming purchase in its July 28 report on its second quarter 2020 financial results. It also said it would return approximately another $250 million to shareholders. 
Since first buying bitcoin during the third quarter of 2020, MicroStrategy has invested over $4 billion into the cryptocurrency. To do that, it has issued corporate debt and convertible bonds, issued stock, and taken out a loan with some of its bitcoin.
On June 7, 2021 the company announced that its subsidiary MicroStrategy Services Corp would offer $400 million in notes in order to purchase bitcoin. At the same time, the company warned that it would be forced to record an impairment for the second quarter of 2021 of at least $284.5 million due to unrealized losses on the bitcoin it had previously purchased. 
As of August 2, 2022, the company's cryptocurrency investments held a total market value of $2.9 billion.
== Background == 
The company was founded by Michael Saylor and Sanju Bansal, former MIT classmates. While working for DuPont as a consultant, Saylor persuaded the company to sponsor his start up software company, MicroStrategy.
One of MicroStrategy's first big customers after DuPont was McDonald's, which gave MicroStrategy a contract for $10 million. After that, the new company moved away from custom software development and produced business intelligence software that could be sold to any number of users. The company expanded and moved its headquarters to Tysons Corner, Virginia, in 1994.
In 2000, Michael Saylor, who was chairman at the time, accepted a penalty of $350,000 personally and $8 million from the company to settle charges of a massive accounting fraud from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Saylor and two other executives were charged with committing civil fraud. The agency forced the company to restate its earnings for the previous three years during which the company had claimed consecutive profits. The restatement showed the company had much lower revenues than previously reported and in fact had experienced losses each year. MicroStrategy’s price per share free fell $140 in a single day as it fell to $86.75 from the prior day’s close of $226.75 on March 20, 2000.

Micro cap

A micro cap stock is a stock tied to a company that has a rather small market capitalization. Often, the gauge of a micro cap is if the company has under $250 million in capitalization.
Other categories are $1 billion to $5 billion for mid caps and $250 million to $1 billion for small caps. The stock for a company with a capitalization of over $5 billion is considered a large cap.

Microexchanges

Microexchanges is the name given to electronic marketplaces for niche products. It also describes any market that is targeted directly at the consumer which operates as a person-to-person market and not a conventional exchange like existing stock and derivatives exchanges.
== Background ==
Microexchanges is a term originally created by Patrick L Young. A microexchange is the embodiment of the small but perfectly formed exchange which has considerable IT at its core but utilizes a very modest secretariat to provide a coherent exchange platform but with very modest resources.
A Microexchange may operate within a local, national, regional or even global niche, trading any form of cash or derivative product but will generally have less than a dozen staff to fulfil a business model which is similar, if not essentially identical, to that of more considerable legacy platforms.

MidAmerica Commodity Exchange

The MidAmerica Commodity Exchange (Midam) was a Chicago-based futures exchange, offering a range of mini-size contracts. The exchange was shut down in 2004 and all of its contracts moved to the Chicago Board of Trade.
== History ==
The exchange traces its roots back to 1868, and was incorporated as the Chicago Open Board of Trade in 1880, assuming the MidAmerica name on Novembver 22, 1972.
The Midam was founded in 1868 as Pudd's Exchange. In the 1880s, it registered and changed its name to something similar to the Chicago Board of Trade, i.e. the Chicago Open Board of Trade. Trading on the Pudds Exchange originated in the open air on the corner of Washington and LaSalle.
Midam affiliated with the Chicago Board of Trade in 1986, but remained a separate legal entity and exchange. 
==Rice==
In 1983, the Chicago Rice & Cotton Exchange, formerly the New Orleans Commodity Exchange, was renamed. In 1991, the MidAm was designated to trade rough rice futures and all open positions in CRCE rough rice futures were transferred to the MidAm.
On October 3, 1994, open positions in MidAm rough rice futures were transferred to the Chicago Board of Trade.
The MidAM acquire the Chicago Rice & Cotton Exchange in 1985.
==Location==
The MidAmerica Commodity Exchange (MACE) was founded as "Pudd's Exchange" in a field on the corner of LaSalle and Washington streets in 1868. 
In 1926, the MidAm move to 328-334 Sherman. In 1947, the exchange moved to 231 South Wells Street. Then, in 1958, it moved to the Fisher Building at 343 South Dearborn Street. 
In 1974, after rebranding as the MidAmerica Commodity Exchange, it moved to 175 West Jackson on May 5. In 1982, the MidAm purchased the space at 444 West Jackson that formerly housed the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The CME had moved into its new exchange building at 20 S. Wacker.
When the CBOT bought the MidAM, the exchange moved to the CBOT Building at 141 West Jackson in 1986 and was dissolved in 2003.
==Contract Size==
The mini contracts were one-fifth the size of those on other exchanges, and included wheat, corn, oats, soybeans, live cattle, live hogs, silver, gold, platinum, soybean meal futures, options on gold, foreign currencies and other derivatives. Volumes reached 2.4m contracts in 2000, ranking 37th among global exchanges.
==Membership==
Midam, with lower membership prices than its bigger neighbors, the CBOT and CME, attracted newcomers to its trading floor, a number of whom became very successful (e.g., Richard Dennis and others) and went on to trade at other exchanges.

MidPoint Match

The International Securities Exchange offers the Midpoint Match (MPM) (article not found as of Feb 2008) facility that allows U.S. stock traders and investors to buy or sell equities at the exact midpoint of the bid and ask price (National Best Bid and Offer) versus having to buy at a higher ask price and sell at a lower bid price. This is a platform currently unique to ISE (on the exchange side) and is aimed at helping professional traders and investors minimize trading costs. 
Various brokerage firms are including ISE's MidPoint Match in their proprietary trading platforms as an additional routing destination for price improvement.
== Displayed and Non-Displayed Volume ==
As of September 2007, the exchange was trading approximately 6,000 securities on both MidPoint Match (termed a "dark pool" or a "nondisplayed pool of liquidity") and the ISE's Displayed Market, the second piece of ISE Stock Exchange's platform (an electronic, visible market). An aggregated daily volume for both MidPoint Match and the integrated Displayed Market are reported by ISE.
== Stocks on Displayed Market ==
ISE's Displayed Market offers trading in the common stocks and ETFs listed on the NYSE, NYSE Arca, NASDAQ and Amex. 
== Liquity Pool Alternatives ==
Orders sent to the ISE Stock Exchange's Displayed Market have exposure to three liquidity pools: 
*First, they receive exposure to the non-displayed MidPoint Match order book and may be automatically executed with price improvement. 
*Second, if no match is found, orders are exposed in the Displayed Market. 
*Finally, if necessary, orders are routed out to achieve the best price.
== Solicitation of Interest Order ==
Also unique to the ISE Stock Exchange is a Solicitation of Interest (SOI) Order. Unlike the MPM order, it carries the ticker symbol of an SOI order to broadcast to market participants that an order is present. There are certain caveats for SOI use, which traders should be explore. Benefits include the potential for elevated execution priority over other order types for a 10-second period, additional order flow in names being traded. Additionally, SOI can serve as a trigger mechanism to generate algorithmic responses.

Mid cap

A mid cap stock is one that is tied to a company with a mid-range market capitalization. Often, the gauge of a mid cap is if the company has between $1 billion to $5 billion in capitalization.
Other categories are over $5 billion in capitalization for a large cap and $250 million to $1 billion for small caps. The stock for a company with a capitalization of under $250 million is considered a micro cap stock.
Beginning in 1991, the creators of securities benchmarks introduced indexes for middle-capitalization stocks, such as the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index and the Russell Midcap Index.
