According to the WSJ report, the company laid off about 110 people on September 22, weeks before replacing its top two executives.
Earlier this month, NYDIG appointed Tejas Shah as its chief executive officer and Nate Konrad as chairman. The company said its bitcoin balance nearly doubled from a year ago to an all-time high in the third quarter.
Last year, NYDIG raised $1 billion in a funding round led by venture firm Westcap, with participation from existing investor Bessemer Venture Partners, valuing the bitcoin company at more than $7 billion.
