Bitcoin-only held steady at 72 jobs while “Other” surged 35%

Hey Bitcoiners,
October brought 172 jobs. Mining companies posted nearly 30% of them — infrastructure work that requires capital and physical operations.
But the small companies are what I keep thinking about. Teams under 21 people, hiring at high rates. Most of them are 🟠 Bitcoin-only. They’re not posting one or two jobs — they’re hiring multiple people relative to their tiny teams.
How do small Bitcoin-only companies hire this aggressively? What drives that kind of growth when resources are limited?
The data shows it’s happening. And if you want to work for one of these companies, keep reading.
How many Bitcoin Jobs were there in October 2025?
172 jobs. 72 Bitcoin-only. 100 Other.
The big numbers come from big companies. But size and impact aren’t the same thing. Do you agree?
What Does the Bitcoin Job Market Trend Look Like?
October’s 172 jobs marks 30% year-over-year growth and 16% month-over-month expansion. The trajectory is up.
🟠 Bitcoin-only companies held steady: 74 jobs in September, 72 in October. The percentage dropped because “Other” companies surged 35% — the pie grew unevenly, but Bitcoin-only’s absolute numbers stayed solid.
Last month I wondered if we’d see the same Q4 growth pattern as last year. October delivered. Let’s see if November continues the momentum.
Who’s Hiring?
50 unique companies hired in October — but most of them are invisible in the headline numbers.
That’s why I’ll repeat myself: knowing the companies matters. Here’s the advantage with smaller companies — their leadership is usually more accessible.
They read their emails. They respond to DMs. You can meet them at conferences and meetups.
If you don’t know these companies exist, you can’t reach out. But once you do? The path is shorter than you think.
How Do You Get Noticed?
If you really want to join a specific company, what would you do?
Write to them directly. Reach out to the founders. Connect with people already working there — sales people, analysts, developers. Have conversations. Let them know you exist and that you want to work with them. Be on their radar before the opportunity appears.
This is what we focused on in Jobtober: findability as a practice, not a one-time effort.
Jobtober has wrapped up, but the lessons continue in POW Lab.

How many Bitcoin jobs are remote?
41% of October jobs were remote — down from September’s 56%, but that drop tells a story about who was hiring.
Mining companies drive on-site work. Data centers need physical presence. But here’s what stayed consistent: small 🟠 Bitcoin-only companies remain the most remote-first — higher than any other category.
🟠 Bitcoin-only companies posted 35 on-site jobs and 37 remote jobs — nearly even split. “Other” companies posted 66 on-site and 34 remote — twice as many on-site positions.
Looking at it the other way: of the 101 on-site jobs, 35 came from 🟠 Bitcoin-only companies. Of the 71 remote jobs, 37 came from 🟠 Bitcoin-only — they punch above their weight in remote work.
Where are the hotspots of Bitcoin opportunities?
5 countries appeared on the map: US (69 jobs), Switzerland (15), Czechia (10), Canada (7), Gibraltar (7). Down from 7 countries in September.
America vs Europe: 76 jobs in the Americas, 32 across European hubs. The concentration continues.
Large companies cluster in the US. Small companies show up more in Europe.
The market increasingly splits into physical hubs and borderless remote work.
Do you have to be a Developer to work in Bitcoin?
76% of October postings were non-dev roles (131 jobs vs 41 dev jobs) — up slightly from September’s 72%. The ratio keeps shifting month to month, but the pattern holds: Bitcoin companies — big or small — need more than code.
🟠 Bitcoin-only companies leaned even harder into non-dev in October: 86% of their jobs (62 of 72) were non-technical roles.
They’re hiring for operations, product, business development, and everything that makes companies run.
What roles have been in demand?
All these departments like Engineering, Operations, Finance, etc. are needed. Mining companies require on-site operations teams. Bitcoin companies need people across every function to operate.
And the good news that AI is not taking our jobs. The space needs diverse skills and real humans to do the work.

What Level of Talent Are Bitcoin Companies Hiring?
Mid-level (30%), followed by Manager and Senior titles.
Bitcoin companies are hiring experienced professionals and leaders, not interns for unpaid roles in October.
Final thoughts. So how do small companies hire?
They don’t hire one role at a time. They build complete teams.
Engineering + design + operations + customer service — all at once. When small 🟠 Bitcoin-only companies find traction, they scale the entire team simultaneously. Even though it is not always reflected in the charts, it can be seen when diving deeper into the numbers.
