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, 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, the key measure of mining revenue per unit of computing power, has fallen to approximately $28/PH/day, according to CoinShares Q1 2026 data. That figure represents a 50% decline from its October 2025 peak and an all-time post-halving low.

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 margins were no longer viable. Three consecutive negative difficulty adjustments, the first such sequence since July 2022, have indicated broad stress across the sector. For miners, these pressures are especially relevant because revenue depends on block rewards, transaction fees, network difficulty, energy costs and hardware efficiency, leaving less efficient fleets more exposed when hashprice falls.

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

Program Structure

EMCD said the Miner Support Program is designed as a practical response to tightening margins across the mining sector. The program includes restructured fees, negotiated hardware and infrastructure arrangements, and access to EMCD’s liquidity and yield products. The company said the toolkit is built 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 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 components of the program. According to the company, the effective cost of capital can be reduced further when the facilities are combined with fee relief and hardware savings, rather than being assessed only by the headline 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 using 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. The inclusion of hosting and data center terms reflects the role infrastructure costs play in mining economics, particularly for operators assessing whether to keep existing machines online, upgrade fleets or move capacity to more competitive facilities.

Partner Participation

EMCD is inviting hardware manufacturers, data centers and hosting providers to join 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.
