Bitwise Asset Management reduced its global workforce by about 14%, from 180 to 155 employees, due to prolonged low digital asset prices. Despite the cut, the company maintains its largest-ever staffing level and continues managing $9 billion in assets, including a $2.3 billion Bitcoin ETF. CEO Hunter Horsley highlighted that the move aligns costs with current market realities while positioning Bitwise for growth as cryptocurrency adoption expands. The firm also completed the acquisition of Chorus One to diversify its offerings amid ongoing industry challenges.
