Bitcoin Job Market Update: November 2025 Report
Bitcoin hiring slowed in November 2025 — but Bitvocation’s data hints at expansion ahead. Explore roles, remote trends, and market shifts.
November Key Takeaways
148 jobs posted in November 2025, down 14% from October — a natural seasonal slowdown
Bitcoin-only dropped to 59 jobs as small teams consolidate Q3 hires
52 unique companies hiring — more than October, just fewer roles each
Small builders still active — expanding relative to team size
Remote work steady at 42% with Bitcoin-only companies splitting evenly
Hey Bitcoiners,
Every culture has a season for slowing down. A pause before renewal. Some call it Advent 🕯️. Others, the year’s final exhale. A time to step back from excess and clear space for what comes next.
The last month’s data tells the same story. 148 jobs — down from October’s 172. Bitcoin-only companies posted 59 roles, down 27% from the month before.
This isn’t collapse, but rather taking a breath after hiring four people into a ten-person team. It’s founders integrating new teammates before adding more. It’s the natural rhythm of building with low time preference.
You don’t plant seeds in December. You prepare the soil.
How many Bitcoin Jobs were there in November 2025?
148 jobs. 59 Bitcoin-only. 89 Other.
The drop came mainly from 🟠 Bitcoin-only companies. “Other” barely moved.
What Does the Bitcoin Job Market Trend Look Like?
November’s 148 jobs marks an 8% year-over-year decline and 14% month-over-month contraction. The trajectory cooled.
Last month I wondered if Q4 would continue the momentum. November answered: the market is pausing, not crashing.
Is this what sustainable growth looks like? Periods of expansion followed by consolidation?
Who’s Hiring?
52 unique companies hired in November. Fewer roles per company, but more companies than October. The market is spreading out.
The small 🟠 Bitcoin-only companies are still building.
We’ve also brought back the mid-size companies chart — companies that offer a sweet spot: established enough to have resources, small enough that you can still make an impact.
Follow them, write them, be on their radar next year.

How many Bitcoin jobs are remote?
42% of November jobs were remote — nearly identical to October’s 41%.
The split stayed consistent even as total volume dropped.
Based on our data, 🟠 Bitcoin-only and smaller companies remain the most remote-friendly — still your best bet for location-independent work.
Where are the hotspots of Bitcoin opportunities?
The map keeps shifting. Switzerland and Gibraltar dropped out of the top 5. Southeast Asia is rising — Malaysia appeared at #2 this month.
The US remains dominant, but the market is more geographically distributed than six months ago.
Bitcoin work is spreading, not concentrating. Another sign of a maturing industry putting down roots in new soil.
Do you have to be a Developer to work in Bitcoin?
No. And that hasn’t changed. The pattern holds month after month: Bitcoin companies — big or small — need more than code. The majority of roles are non-technical.
What roles have been in demand?
The data shows remarkable diversity. Of the top 20 roles, 12 appeared only once during the month. No single role dominates — Bitcoin companies need a wide range of skills.
This isn’t a market looking for one type of person. It’s an industry that needs accountants, operations managers, legal, assembly workers, AI specialists — all in the same month.
If your skill set feels niche, it might be exactly what someone needs.

What Level of Talent Are Bitcoin Companies Hiring?
Mid-level still leads at 32%, but the mix shifted this month.
Senior and Manager roles dropped — companies aren’t expanding as aggressively during this quieter period.
The surprise? Unpaid roles spiked. Even with fewer total jobs, more companies are looking for interns and unpaid staff.
Final thoughts: Clearing space for what’s next
The slowdown is seasonal. It’s healthy. Companies that hired aggressively in Q3 are now integrating those teams.
Bitvocation is doing the same. We’re using this quiet period to prepare what’s coming in 2026 — more data, more companies tracked, more tools for our community. For more to arrive, we need to clear space.
If you’re job hunting, this is your preparation time too. Fewer postings means less competition for the ones that appear. Build relationships now. Develop skills. Get visible.
Don’t wait for January. Prepare in December.
