Bitwise 公告显示,公司已在上周完成裁员,裁减约 14% 员工,全球团队目前约为 155 人。管理层称,此举是在加密市场持续低迷背景下进行的调整,目标是让公司在压缩成本后继续推进业务扩张。

BITW资产年内明显回落

受到市场走弱影响,Bitwise 旗下 Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund(BITW)在 2026 年前七个月净资产下滑 31%。这只产品追踪一篮子主流加密资产,其规模变化也反映出加密价格下行对相关投资产品的直接冲击。

不过,Bitwise 并未停止新产品布局。公司 5 月推出的 Hyperliquid ETF 曾在单日录得约 1900 万美元净流入,当日成交额约 2200 万美元。另据公司管理层 6 月披露,Bitwise 在美国和欧洲推出的 XRP 相关交易所交易产品,自 2026 年初以来累计吸引超过 2 亿美元流入。

  • 全球团队规模约 155 人
  • BITW 前七个月净资产下滑 31%
  • XRP 相关产品年内流入超 2 亿美元

收购与质押业务仍在推进

公司披露称,Bitwise 今年 2 月已完成对机构质押服务商 Chorus One 的收购,借此扩大面向机构客户的质押业务。也就是说,这轮裁员发生在公司一边推进并购、一边扩展产品线的阶段。

Bitwise 此前还提到,一名财富管理客户曾在市场回调期间买入 1100 万美元比特币。这笔交易被公司视为部分高净值和机构客户仍在逢低配置加密资产的例子。

加密行业裁员仍在延续

Bitwise 的调整并非个例。2026 年以来,多家加密公司都在压缩团队规模。BitGo 6 月裁员近 15%,同时把资源转向安全、交易、稳定币、结算和 AI 基础设施。Coinbase 5 月也宣布裁员约 14%,管理层将原因归结为市场周期和 AI 工具提升效率。

Kraken 据报在 5 月裁减约 150 个岗位,Dune Analytics 同月裁员 25%,Polygon Labs 也在 7 月继续裁员并推进围绕支付业务的重组。行业趋势显示,在市场承压阶段,加密公司仍在同步进行成本收缩和业务重配。

投资团队仍看多后市

尽管公司缩减人员,Bitwise 投资团队对后续市场并未转向悲观。首席投资官 Matt Hougan 近日表示,比特币在多项利空消息下仍保持韧性,可能意味着本轮熊市底部已经出现。

他提到的因素包括美国加密立法推进延后,以及 Strategy 抛售比特币后的市场反应。Hougan 认为,下一轮行情的推动力之一,可能来自大型财富管理平台对加密产品的分销能力。

补充信息:Bitwise 首席执行官 Hunter Horsley 在邮件声明中称,本轮裁员已于上周完成,公司仍计划继续扩展业务。
