According to Blockspace, one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies in the United States, MARA, has laid off approximately 15% of its staff, involving multiple departments and some contract workers. The company states that this move is part of a strategic adjustment aimed at transforming from a pure mining company into an energy and digital infrastructure company; affected employees will receive about one month of paid leave and 13 weeks of severance compensation. MARA recorded a net loss of approximately $1.3 billion in 2025 and had previously sold over 15,000 BTC to repay convertible bonds.
