EMCD Unveils Miner Support Program Amid Industry Profitability Crisis
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 industry's steepest profitability squeeze. The program offers up to $30 million in financing, fee relief, and partner benefits to eligible miners.
The current market conditions are particularly challenging for miners. Bitcoin's hashprice has dropped 50% from its October 2025 peak to approximately $28/PH/day, according to CoinShares Q1 2026 data. An estimated 252 EH/s of mining capacity has been taken offline as operators with older-generation hardware found margins no longer viable.
EMCD's program provides a concrete response to these challenges. It includes restructured fees, negotiated hardware and infrastructure deals, and access to EMCD's liquidity and yield products. Miners can access secured liquidity facilities at 3.9% APR to cover operational costs without selling assets into a down market.
Those looking to protect margins on every block can apply for zero pool commission for 60 days, reducing overhead while hashprice remains depressed. Miners running older or underperforming hardware can unlock preferential pricing on Vnish firmware, the market's leading third-party ASIC optimization software.
