Hi K
The shares available in the event of a run is interesting to consider.
In recent months someone posted that the top 1,000 share holders control about 70% of the shares on issue. I suspect that those 1,000 holders will be less likely to be holding short term and most likely to have a solid medium to long term strategy.
Then the next 30 percent some portion of this group will also have a settled plan for their investment. I speak via private message on here with younger holders who tell me they understand the technology and have invested in Brainchip for the long haul hoping it will be the next Apple or Nvidia and they to have very long time lines in contemplation.
Anyway the point is it seems to me that while Brainchip has about 1.8 billion shares on issue only a relatively small proportion of those shares are actually available or will be made available.
We have seen over the last fortnight that it was pretty easy for a few hundred million shares to change hands quite quickly.
If someone or something has been accumulating with a longer term vision it might be surprising how few shares are actually available now to be acquired.
Your suggestion that supply will dry up could possibly be very close to coming true.

Hi @Fullmoonfever, I thought that BRN had said that China was out, of course China wants in; and your post clearly does not allude to Akida specifically, but as we know - whoever wins the tech war takes all.Looks like Huawei on the bandwagon too.
Just need one of these tech behemoths out there to publicly say...you know what...BRN, you can save us sheetload of R&D time and $ so here's a signature

Don't get too excited. The manipulation wi the small cheaper parcels has started already.

I might have got my knickers in a twist but I did say we’d be green today and what a lovely day it is as well. The view from the apartment Brainchip is going to buy me.

Hi McHale
A long time ago now someone found that two AKD1000 chips had been hooked up to a Huawei GPU at a Research facility in Europe as part of some public private research initiative.
Huawei was an official sponsor but on my enquiry of Brainchip they denied any involvement.
I am sure that the person who shared this information will remember and might even generously put it up again.

I recall from my memory way back to the Co's first chip production issue with TSMC ... was that the BRN used the wordsEdge box’s.
My following post will demonstrate my lack of memory and retrieval skills from this site but here goes anyway.
My understanding was that when Akida 1000 was made we paid TSMC for the disc to be made and then various samples were used to validate the run and then various demo kits were provided to uni’s etc. This was part of the requirement to prove the idea worked in silicon which it surpassed most expectations. There was obviously a quantity of chips left over ( unknown number of discs made) so the exact number of chips remaining after that first run remains a mystery. We also sold a very limited number of devices on our web page with even some TSE members posting their purchase photos on the system.
So my belief is that the initial lull in take up in our IP model only approach resulted in a desire to show the product in a more user friendly environment and the edge box opportunity presented and allowed the company to maximise the remaining 1000 model chips to be used.
Now I have not seen anything in the financial records or company releases that we have gone back to TSMC and had another run of the 1000 model chips made.
Thus my expectations of edge box sales are not huge.
What is huge is the addition of a tool, cheap one too, that will provide those interested but maybe on the fence or cautions over funds customers to try the tech and play before they commit.
OK those with better research skills and memory shoot me down in flames. (Be kind)
" several thousands " when referring to the actual number of Akida sample engineering chip's production run ............. I took this to mean 7,000 " WAFFERS " as it is my understanding at the time that Chip manufacturer's used the number of waffers produced approach rather than the actaul number of chips per run... thus using my methodology I would allow some ~250 chips per waffer X 7,000 waffers = 1,750,000 individual chips produced .......... I think at around the same time that there may have been an expectation that we may have been used in the "Nanose" covid detection device and to supply EAP customers .......... So I do believe that we still have lots of Chips left over to meet current Edge Box demands and potentially other projects/reseach and educational needs.

It was these guys I found originally and got quite excited by it but as you say nothing to see here apparently from BRN

As soon as it hit 0.375, the scumbags are back with their small cheap parcels. It' like frikking clockwork.

Thanks FMF. Sorry that I could not remember that you were the one who originally found this interest in AKIDA by Huawei.It was these guys I found originally and got quite excited by it but as you say nothing to see here apparently from BRN
