EMCD Launches Miner Support Program with Up to $30M Amid Bitcoin Mining Profitability Squeeze

EMCD, a global crypto-fintech platform and one of the world's largest Bitcoin mining pools, has launched its Miner Support Program in response to the current profitability squeeze facing miners. The program offers up to $30 million in financing, fee relief, and partner benefits to eligible miners.

The move comes as Bitcoin's hashprice - a key measure of mining revenue per unit of compute - has declined to approximately $28/PH/day, a 50% drop from its October 2025 peak. This decline has led to an estimated 252 EH/s being taken offline, with operators running older-generation hardware finding margins no longer viable.

EMCD's program is structured around restructured fees, negotiated hardware and infrastructure deals, and access to its liquidity and yield products. Miners facing cash flow pressure can access EMCD's secured liquidity facilities at 3.9% APR, while those looking to protect margins on every block can apply for zero pool commission for 60 days.

The program also offers preferential pricing on Vnish firmware, the market's leading third-party ASIC optimization software, and special terms on equipment and data center services through EMCD's partner network. Partner participation is open to hardware manufacturers, data centers, and hosting providers who can offer exclusive terms to eligible miners.

According to EMCD's founder and CEO, Michael Jerlis, the program is a commitment to making sure its miners have the tools to survive the current downturn. 'We've been through every cycle in this industry since 2017,' he said. 'What we've learned is that the operators who survive aren't the ones who wait out the downturns. They're the ones who use them.'

EMCD has operated its mining pool since 2017 and processed over 4,550 BTC mined by its users in 2025. The company sees the current period as both a stress test and a structural opportunity for operators who remain active.
