DCG To Split Foundry Digital Mining Into Two Entities: Report

by

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience tracking the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies, I find the recent developments at Digital Currency Group (DCG) particularly intriguing. The decision to split Foundry into two separate entities, Fortitude Mining and Foundry, seems like a strategic move aimed at optimizing their respective strengths and positioning them for future growth.

Digital Currency Group (DCG), a company specializing in crypto venture capital, has chosen to divide its mining business, Foundry, into two distinct companies: Fortitude Mining and the original Foundry. This restructuring plan was first disclosed in a private letter sent to major shareholders by DCG, as reported by Blockspace.

Major Foundry Restructuring is in the Works

According to a report by Blockspace, Fortitude Mining is set to take over the self-mining operations and the physical structures previously managed by Foundry. Meanwhile, Foundry plans to focus on their pool operations and other areas of their Bitcoin mining service business.

As an analyst, I’d like to highlight a key point from our recent shareholder correspondence: We are actively modifying our business model to set ourselves up for sustainable expansion in the future.

According to the letter, they are confident that [Fortitude] will thrive on its own, so they plan to separate it into an entirely independent company owned by DCG, which is what we call spinning it out.

To ensure a seamless transition, Digital Currency Group (DCG) will integrate some of Foundry’s key executives into the upcoming subsidiary. For additional assistance and fundraising purposes, DCG aims to recruit additional employees from outside sources. As per recent news, Fortitude has already started requesting hosting providers to send their invoices directly to the new company for at least a month now.

It’s important to mention that, as per Coingape’s reports, Foundry has recently undergone a period of staff reductions, or layoffs.

To safeguard their focus on the mining pool sector, Foundry justified the job reduction by stating it was essential. Additionally, they had to make this difficult decision to foster “the growth of DCG’s latest subsidiaries, such as Yuma and the separation of Foundry’s thriving self-mining division.

DCG and Latest Business Moves

It is worth noting that DCG introduced Yuma last month. It branded Yuma as a new subsidiary that will focus on developing the Bittensor (TAO) ecosystem.

The crypto investment company anticipates that their new affiliate will provide developers with the tools to design, educate, and connect with Artificial Intelligence, fostering innovation.

As per DCG’s decision, they adopted the name “Yuma” in line with Bittensor’s “Yuma Consensus” protocol. Among its numerous advantages, this smart contract protocol enables the encouragement of creator involvement via TAO, a token recognized for its resilience during geopolitical upheavals.
