Panama City, Panama, July 27, 2026 — EMCD, a global crypto-fintech platform and one of the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pools, announced the launch of its Miner Support Program, which will give eligible miners access to up to $30 million* in financing, fee relief and partner benefits.

The company introduced the program during a period of pressure for Bitcoin mining operators. Bitcoin’s hashprice — a key measure of mining revenue per unit of computing power — has fallen to about $28/PH/day, down 50% from its October 2025 peak and representing an all-time post-halving low, according to CoinShares Q1 2026 data. Hashprice is closely watched by miners because it reflects the revenue generated by deployed hashrate before site-specific costs such as power, hosting, equipment financing and maintenance.

An estimated 252 EH/s has been taken offline, according to Hashrate Index data cited by CoinCentral in April 2026, as operators using older-generation hardware found their margins were no longer sustainable. Three consecutive negative difficulty adjustments, the first such sequence since July 2022, have reflected broad stress across the sector. In Bitcoin mining, difficulty adjusts periodically to keep block production near its target pace, so repeated downward adjustments can indicate that a meaningful amount of computing power has left the network.

EMCD, which has operated its mining pool since 2017 and processed more than 4,550 BTC mined by its users in 2025, described the current environment as both a stress test and a structural opportunity for operators that remain active.

Program Structure

EMCD said the Miner Support Program combines restructured fees, negotiated hardware and infrastructure agreements, and access to its liquidity and yield products. The company said the package is designed around the operating needs of mining businesses and is available to operators in any region.

Miners under cash flow pressure may access EMCD’s secured liquidity facilities at 3.9% APR to cover operating costs without selling assets into a down market. EMCD said its products differ from generic crypto-backed credit lines because they are structured around mining-specific cash flow cycles and are bundled with other parts of the program. According to the company, the effective cost of capital may be reduced further when liquidity access is combined with fee relief and hardware savings, rather than evaluated only by the headline rate.

Operators seeking to protect margins on each block may apply for zero pool commission for 60 days, reducing overhead while hashprice remains depressed. Miners using older or underperforming hardware may receive preferential pricing on Vnish firmware, described by the company as the market’s leading third-party ASIC optimization software.

Miners planning to expand or relocate capacity may also access special terms on equipment and data center services through EMCD’s partner network. For mining companies, these categories matter because profitability is affected not only by Bitcoin-denominated rewards, but also by fleet efficiency, power and hosting terms, pool fees and access to working capital.

Partner Participation

EMCD is inviting hardware manufacturers, data centers and hosting providers to participate in the program by offering exclusive terms to eligible miners. Partner applications can be submitted through the program website:

“We’ve been through every cycle in this industry since 2017 — the rallies, the winters, the halvings. 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. This program is our commitment to making sure our miners have the tools to do exactly that,” said Michael Jerlis, Founder & CEO of EMCD.

*The stated amount reflects the maximum aggregate value of support, including financing, fee reductions and partner offers, that may be made available under the program and does not constitute a reserved fund.
