Foundry 裁員 60%，專注於核心比特幣挖礦業務

週一，全球最大的比特幣礦池 Foundry 宣布大幅裁員，裁員約 60%。

Bitcoin mining pool Foundry has reportedly laid off a large portion of its workforce in a bid to strengthen its core revenue-generating operations and better support the development of Digital Currency Group (DCG)’s new subsidiaries.

據報道，比特幣礦池 Foundry 已解僱大部分員工，以加強其核心創收業務，並更好地支持數位貨幣集團（DCG）新子公司的發展。

According to a report by Blockspace on Monday, the layoffs, which span both US and international staff, will reduce Foundry’s headcount from over 250 to around 80-90 employees.

根據 Blockspace 週一的一份報告，裁員涉及美國和國際員工，Foundry 的員工人數將從 250 多人減少到約 80-90 人。

The layoffs are part of a “strategic initiative” at Foundry, sources told Blockspace. In a shareholder letter, owner conglomerate DCG said that Foundry is expected to generate $80 million in revenue from its self-mining business by 2024.

消息人士告訴 Blockspace，這次裁員是 Foundry「策略舉措」的一部分。所有者集團 DCG 在一封股東信中表示，預計到 2024 年 Foundry 的自挖礦業務將產生 8,000 萬美元的收入。

“We recently made the strategic decision to focus Foundry on our core business—operating the #1 Bitcoin mining pool in the world and growing our site operations business—while supporting the development of DCG’s newest subsidiaries,” a statement from Foundry reads.

Foundry 的聲明中寫道：「我們最近做出了戰略決策，讓Foundry 專注於我們的核心業務——運營全球排名第一的比特幣礦池並發展我們的網站運營業務——同時支持DCG最新子公司的發展。

Foundry’s Bitcoin mining pool, which currently accounts for 30% of the Bitcoin network’s total hashrate, remains its most notable business line.

Foundry 的比特幣礦池目前佔比特幣網路總算力的 30%，仍然是其最引人注目的業務線。

Other divisions that are still operational include mining pool operations, the firmware team, and the self-mining division, while the company has reportedly laid off its entire ASIC repair and hardware teams.

其他仍在運作的部門包括礦池營運、韌體團隊和自挖礦部門，而據報該公司已經解雇了整個 ASIC 維修和硬體團隊。

The layoffs follow a turbulent period for Foundry and its parent company, with Genesis, a subsidiary of Silbert’s firm, having recently collapsed. Foundry had diversified into several business lines, including custom hardware and decentralized AI infrastructure.

這次裁員是在 Foundry 及其母公司經歷了一段動盪時期之後進行的，Silbert 公司的子公司 Genesis 最近倒閉了。 Foundry 已多角化發展為多個業務線，包括客製化硬體和去中心化人工智慧基礎設施。

Last week, the company also transferred about 20 staff members to a new DCG subsidiary, Yuma, a decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) startup led by DCG and Barry Silbert who is also acting CEO of the new venture.

上週，該公司還將約 20 名員工轉移到 DCG 的新子公司 Yuma，這是一家由 DCG 和新公司代理執行長 Barry Silbert 領導的去中心化人工智慧 (AI) 新創公司。

Founded in 2017 as part of the Digital Currency Group conglomerate, Foundry has been seen as a pivotal player in the Bitcoin mining industry, previously offering competitive mining pool fee rates and even extending 0% fees to its largest clients.

Foundry 成立於2017 年，是數位貨幣集團集團的一部分，一直被視為比特幣挖礦行業的關鍵參與者，之前提供有競爭力的礦池費率，甚至向其最大的客戶提供0% 的費用。

However, the company has faced challenges, with defaults on Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)-backed loans contributing to the struggles of its self-mining segment.

然而，該公司面臨挑戰，專用積體電路（ASIC）支援的貸款違約導致其自挖礦部門陷入困境。

The recent layoffs mark a critical juncture in Foundry’s journey, mirroring broader trends within the cryptocurrency space as companies navigate regulatory pressures and market volatility.

最近的裁員標誌著 Foundry 發展歷程中的關鍵時刻，反映出隨著公司應對監管壓力和市場波動，加密貨幣領域的更廣泛趨勢。
