BitGo executed a 12% workforce reduction in April 2020 during a broader company-wide reorganization. Across the broader crypto sector, workforce reductions have become a pattern. Coinbase executed a workforce reduction of approximately 14% in May 2026, explicitly citing AI efficiencies as a driving factor. MARA Holdings reduced its workforce by about 15% in April 2026, influenced by strategic shifts toward AI infrastructure. No credible sources, including major crypto media outlets such as CoinDesk and The Block, have corroborated claims of a 15% workforce reduction at BitGo as of June 2026.
