Bitcoin services firm Swan will halt mining operations and has pulled the plug on its IPO ambitions.

## What’s the scoop?

- **Big Cuts: **Due to its loss of a major revenue stream, Swan will be forced to reduce spending on its core financial service businesses and cut staff across many functions.

## Bankless take:
While Bitcoin’s [hash rate](https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/charts/hash-rate) has remained resilient post-Halving due to optimism on the crypto industry, miner profitability has decreased, placing Network integrity at [risk](https://www.bankless.com/can-demand-sustain-bitcoin-halving) should additional miners sell down BTC reserves and capitulate on operations.
