DCG 重組期間 Foundry 裁員 27%

全球最大的比特幣礦池 Foundry 已解僱約 27% 的員工。裁員主要影響 ASIC 維修和硬體團隊

Bitcoin mining pool Foundry has laid off around 27% of its workforce, Blockspace reported on March 8.

根據 Blockspace 3 月 8 日報道，比特幣礦池 Foundry 已解僱約 27% 的員工。

The layoffs primarily affected the ASIC repair and hardware teams, while core operations like the mining pool, firmware team, and self-mining division were partially spared.

此次裁員主要影響的是 ASIC 維修和硬體團隊，而礦池、韌體團隊和自挖礦部門等核心業務則部分倖免。

Foundry confirmed the decision to Blockspace, stating that the move was part of a broader restructuring effort to maintain its primary business lines.

Foundry 向 Blockspace 證實了這項決定，並表示此舉是維持其主要業務線的更廣泛重組努力的一部分。

Prior to the layoffs, the New York-based company, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, had over 250 employees.

在裁員之前，這家總部位於紐約的公司是數位貨幣集團的子公司，擁有超過 250 名員工。

However, Blockspace's initial report claimed that the layoffs impacted 60% of Foundry's staff, which was later corrected by Foundry to be 27%.

然而，Blockspace 的初步報告稱，此次裁員影響了 Foundry 60% 的員工，後來 Foundry 更正為 27%。

An additional, undisclosed percentage of staff were shifted to sister-company Yuma.

還有一部分員工被轉移到姊妹公司尤馬（Yuma），具體比例未公開。

Foundry's management reportedly notified employees individually about the layoffs, which were then followed by a company-wide meeting.

據報道，Foundry 的管理層向員工單獨通報了裁員事宜，隨後召開了全公司會議。

According to Blockspace, some team members were transferred to Yuma, a new DCG subsidiary focused on decentralized AI technology.

根據 Blockspace 報導，部分團隊成員被調往 DCG 新成立的子公司 Yuma，專注於去中心化 AI 技術。
