Oracle Corporation has commenced laying off thousands of employees amid a decline in stock prices and significant capital expenditures on AI infrastructure development, reports CNBC. According to Business Insider, the layoffs have affected employees worldwide, though the exact scale remains unknown. “After a thorough analysis of Oracle's current business needs, we have decided to eliminate your position as part of a broader organizational transformation. Consequently, today is your last working day,” reads a copy of the letter reviewed by the media. As of May 2025, Oracle employed approximately 162,000 people. The layoffs have impacted Oracle Health, Sales, Cloud, Customer Success, and NetSuite divisions. CNBC highlighted that the company's core business is facing challenges due to competition from generative AI models. Additionally, investors are concerned about rising debt and declining cash flows. Oracle's shares have fallen by 25% since the start of the year, a sharper decline than other tech giants. Oracle stock price dynamics. Source: Yahoo Finance. Oracle continues to develop its flagship database for storing and processing corporate information. In recent years, the company, following competitors like Amazon, has increased spending on data centers powering artificial intelligence. However, in terms of business scale, it still lags behind other cloud players. Focus on AI and Cost Optimization Oracle is using borrowed funds to finance AI projects. In January, the corporation announced plans to raise $50 billion. However, in the latest report, management stated that no additional borrowing is expected in 2026. In September 2025, the company reported that the volume of outstanding contractual obligations (a measure of future revenue) increased by 359% to $455 billion following a $300 billion deal with OpenAI. According to TD Cowen analysts, cutting 20,000-30,000 employees could increase the company's free cash flow by $8-10 billion. Oracle's management is confident that large-scale investments in artificial intelligence will pay off over time. “Demand for AI infrastructure (GPU and CPU) continues to exceed supply. This is directly reflected in our $553 billion contract obligations,” stated the firm's CEO Clay Magouyrk. The Future of Corporate Structure in the AI Era Weeks after laying off 4,000 employees, Block CEO Jack Dorsey presented his vision of the future workplace, where artificial intelligence replaces middle management. According to the entrepreneur, AI can track projects, identify issues, allocate tasks, and relay important information faster than humans. Dorsey and Block's lead independent director Roelof Botha confirmed that the company is in the early stages of transitioning to a tech-driven management model. “We challenge the basic assumption that organizations must be hierarchical and that people should coordinate processes,” the experts noted. They intend not only to provide each employee with an AI assistant but also to radically automate the management hierarchy itself. As a result, the company “will be built as an intelligence or mini-AGI.” Source: X Jack Dorsey. People Still Matter In March, Block reinstated some employees who were laid off in February. Dorsey and Botha stated that while artificial intelligence may play a significant role in the proposed company model, humans will continue to make key business and ethical decisions. Employees will be redistributed into three roles: individual contributors — create and maintain operating systems; accountable individuals — solve specific tasks and can use any necessary resources; player-coaches — combine coding and development with managerial duties, including mentoring and supporting colleagues. Abandoning Traditional Hierarchy Most companies are structured hierarchically: information flows from employees to managers, then to executives, and back down. Dorsey and Botha believe that this approach was effective in the past, but AI can perform the same functions much faster. “The model of a firm organized as intelligence rather than hierarchy is so significant that it will change the principles of company operations in the coming years,” the entrepreneurs stated. According to them, accelerating the flow of information contributes to rapid business development. Hierarchy and middle management only slow this process. Back in March, Crypto․com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek announced a 12% workforce reduction. The main reason was the integration of artificial intelligence into all processes.

In the first quarter of 2026, the price of the leading cryptocurrency fell by 22.2%. This marks the worst start for the asset in the past eight years. Digital gold closed on March 31 at $66,619, according to Yahoo Finance. For comparison, on January 1, it was trading at $87,508. A more significant drop at the beginning of the year was recorded only eight years ago, when the asset depreciated by 50% — from $14,112 to $6,973. The current decline continued the trend from the fourth quarter of 2025. At that time, Bitcoin lost 23%, falling from $114,057 to $87,508. Thus, over the past six months, the leading cryptocurrency has depreciated by more than 40%. Quarterly dynamics of Bitcoin. Source: CoinGlass. Reasons for the Correction The retreat from historical highs is largely attributed to geopolitical uncertainty due to the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. Rising tensions have dampened investor sentiment both in the crypto industry and on TradFi markets. In addition to macroeconomics, the course was pressured by the outflow of funds from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Andri Fauzan Adjima, head of research at Bitrue, noted that the situation is exacerbated by persistently high inflation, cautious policy by the Fed, and a general retreat from risks in the markets.According to SoSoValue, the net outflow of funds from spot funds in the first quarter amounted to $496.5 million. The March inflow of $1.32 billion only partially offset the losses of the first two months of $1.8 billion. Dynamics of ETF inflows and outflows by month. Source: SoSoValue. Long-term Confidence Remains Despite the challenging situation in the global economy and unstable ETF inflows, analysts believe that investor confidence in Bitcoin's long-term prospects remains unshaken. “Institutional participation and adoption trends remain unchanged. This suggests a cyclical movement rather than a fundamental shift,” said Min Jung, an analyst at Presto Research. In her view, for a reversal of the downward trend in the second quarter, the market requires more macroeconomic clarity. This primarily concerns the situation in the Middle East.Earlier, Donald Trump stated that the conflict with Iran could end in two to three weeks even without a deal. Meanwhile, Iran continues to attack neighboring Persian Gulf states. It is expected that on the evening of April 1, the US President will address the nation in prime time to discuss the progress of the operation. “For a trend reversal in the second quarter, a resumption of fund inflows into ETFs, clear progress in US crypto industry regulation, and a shift to a more accommodative monetary policy will be required,” said Nick Rak, Director of Research at LVRG, in a comment to The Block. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $68,800. Over the past day, the asset has risen by 2.9%, according to CoinGecko. As reported, JPMorgan analysts recognized Bitcoin as the main defensive asset amid the war in Iran.

In the current market cycle, Bitcoin's decline has been significantly less severe than in previous periods, reports Cointelegraph, citing Fidelity Digital Assets. Analyst Zach Wainwright noted that in the past, after reaching all-time highs (ATH), the first cryptocurrency's prices would plummet by 80-90%. Now, the declines after peaks are not as steep, and this trend is likely to continue. Bitcoin price drawdowns after reaching ATH. Source: BitBo. Changing Market Dynamics According to Wainwright, when evaluating price dynamics relative to previous peaks, there is a noticeable decrease in the return on investment in digital gold. "With each new cycle, growth becomes less impulsive. The risk of a deep fall in 2026 has also decreased," the expert emphasized. On February 6, Bitcoin reached a potential bottom of the current cycle around the $60,000 mark. This is 52% below the all-time high near $126,000 recorded on October 6. Currently, the asset trades 45% below the peak values of six months ago. During the previous bear market, the decline was more severe. Prices then fell by 77%—from the 2021 high ($69,000) to below $16,000 in November 2022. Bottom Already in Late September? The less severe decline indicates market maturation, reduced volatility, and increased confidence from institutional investors, stated LVRG Research Director Nick Rack in a comment to the publication. "Bitcoin is transforming from a speculative asset into a more stable store of value. In the long term, this paves the way for its widespread adoption," he added. Alphractal founder João Vedson noted that Bitcoin's local maximum was reached on the 534th day after halving—much faster than in the previous cycle. "Pattern fading" indicates the formation of a market bottom between the 912th and 922nd day after the miner reward reduction. According to the expert's estimates, this stage is expected in late September or early October 2026. Technical Picture At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading below the 50- and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMA), which serve as indicators of the long-term trend. Daily chart of BTC/USD on Coinbase. Source: TradingView. Meanwhile, the asset consolidates around the $69,000 mark—above the 200-week EMA, which has historically served as a significant zone of dynamic support during corrections within bear market phases.As reported, amid market weakness, Ethereum outperformed Bitcoin in price dynamics.
