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

The program is being introduced during a difficult period for the Bitcoin mining industry. Bitcoin’s hashprice, a key measure of mining revenue per unit of computing power, has fallen to approximately $28/PH/day, according to CoinShares Q1 2026 data. That level represents a 50% decline from its October 2025 peak and an all-time post-halving low. After Bitcoin halvings reduce the block subsidy, miners’ profitability becomes more sensitive to operating costs, hardware efficiency, network difficulty, and transaction-fee revenue.

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 that margins were no longer viable. The sector has also recorded three consecutive negative difficulty adjustments, the first such streak since July 2022, indicating broad pressure across mining operations. Bitcoin difficulty adjusts periodically to changes in total network hashrate, so repeated downward adjustments are one signal that a meaningful amount of computing power has left the network.

EMCD has operated its mining pool since 2017 and said its users mined more than 4,550 BTC through the platform in 2025. The company described the current period as both a stress test and a structural opportunity for operators that remain active.

Program Structure

As mining margins tighten across the industry, EMCD said it has assembled a support package that includes restructured fees, negotiated hardware and infrastructure deals, and access to its liquidity and yield products. The company said the toolkit is designed around the operating needs of mining businesses and is available to operators in any region.

Miners facing cash-flow pressure can access EMCD’s secured liquidity facilities at 3.9% APR to help cover operating costs without selling assets in a down market. EMCD said its products differ from generic crypto-backed credit lines because they are built around mining-specific cash-flow cycles and bundled with the rest of the program. The company said this structure can reduce the effective cost of capital when combined with fee relief and hardware savings, rather than being assessed only on the stated interest rate.

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

For miners looking to expand or relocate capacity, the program provides access to special terms on equipment and data center services through EMCD’s partner network. For eligible participants, the practical value of the program will depend on how financing terms, fee relief, equipment pricing, hosting costs, and operational efficiency compare with each miner’s existing cost structure.

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 at:

“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.” — Michael Jerlis, Founder & CEO, 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.
