What is our current estimate of how many chips have been sold, in total?
Everything is sold.
All chips from April 8.5 Ph/s batch and maybe part of 33.5 Ph/s May batch too. IIRC Friedcat/Jutarul mentioned, that clients for first months(!) of production are fully covered, and this announcement was months ago, even before tape-out.
Expect the flood by the end of month.
The dividend schedule will be aggressive, as AM will not require large sums of retained capital. The rationale is that AM doesn't need to invest large sums into infrastructure and that the majority of chip production costs will be covered by the business partners on a contract schedule. The new round of dividends are scheduled to begin as soon as the first large purchases have concluded and should precede or coincide with the publication of the updated financial statements.
1) When can we expect the financial report that's supposed to coincide with the next round of dividends?
