 Stronghold is not alone in facing production challenges. Other major mining companies, including CleanSpark, Riot Platforms, and Bitfarms, have also reported declines in their Bitcoin output, with reductions ranging from 6% to 12% in April following the halving . The halving event has not only impacted production but has also led to a significant drop in revenues for these companies, as the reduced rewards mean less income from mining activities
