Cycle count for new Macbook

I just set up my Mac Book and I check the cycle count of my battery. I found 2. I have not charged it by myself. Is it the new one or the used Mac?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

They all come with a few cycles because they are all tested to be sure they work and charge properly. You do not have a used Mac. See Determine battery cycle count for Mac notebooks.
