US Dominates Bitcoin Hiring in 2025 as Singapore Jumps 158%, Bitvocation Data Shows
Bitvocation’s 2025 Bitcoin jobs report has just been released, and it shows continuing growth for the industry, as non-developer roles gain steam and Bitcoin-only companies grow 5% to become 47% of the broader crypto job market.
Bitvocation is a jobs board and resources platform for the Bitcoin job market. They offer a highly curated feed of job offers, as well as career tips, specializing in network-driven hiring. They look to help Bitcoin startups as well as larger companies in the industry. According to a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine, Bitvocation is not a recruitment agency. “We don’t headhunt. We are building a “strategic Bitcoiners reserve” to make hiring more efficient and help startups find the right talent faster.”
The 2025 jobs report shows a variety of interesting trends in the Bitcoin and broader crypto industry. Bitvocation counts a total of 1,801 jobs; 6% more than 2024’s 1,707 jobs report findings. Bitcoin-only companies grew 5% from 2024, vs 53% of Bitcoin-adjacent jobs. They sort Bitcoin-only vs Bitcoin-adjacent companies based on the following criteria:
Bitcoin-only products – Core offerings are exclusively focused on Bitcoin, not competing cryptocurrencies.
Publicly stated commitment – The company explicitly identifies as Bitcoin-only or Bitcoin-first in its mission or communications.
Ecosystem contribution – Active involvement in Bitcoin development, open-source projects, or the Bitcoin community.
Most surprisingly, non-developer jobs grew 74%! Making a strong statement, you don’t need to be a developer to work in Bitcoin. Media, design, marketing, education, and operations dominate job openings among Bitcoin-only companies. 663 of the 1801 jobs are for mid-seniority positions, though jobs span the full range of seniority, providing opportunities to a wide range of applicants.
When it comes to location, the United States remains the undisputed center of the industry, though every continent offers opportunities, with Singapore seeing growth of 158% from the previous year, taking second place globally.
Remote jobs shrunk slightly, losing 10% to 2024 numbers. Nevertheless, almost half of all jobs in the report are remote jobs with Bitcoin-only companies offering 56% of all remote opportunities.
The hardest roles to fill, according to a survey conducted by Bitvocation, are two-fold. Highly specialized technical positions, such as Bitcoin Core, Lightning, and security-related engineers, are difficult to hire for. Non-technical roles that require translating Bitcoin’s values into product, growth, operations, or communication are also presenting a challenge to employers.The survey also shows employers are looking for candidates with “Bitcoin conviction” as much as technical skills, and most of all “agency”.
