HashKey Capital has launched what it describes as the crypto industry’s first Bitcoin hashrate fund, introducing a new investment product that gives professional investors exposure to Bitcoin mining returns without owning or operating mining equipment.
Announced on July 2, the fund is backed by computing power technology services from BITMAIN and is designed to combine Bitcoin mining with regulated digital asset management. The product targets global professional and institutional investors and will offer returns denominated in Bitcoin (BTC).

According to HashKey Capital, the fund is built on mining infrastructure and aims to deliver competitive annualized yields while maintaining institutional standards for risk management, transparency, and compliance.
What is the Bitcoin Hashrate Fund?
The Bitcoin Hashrate Fund allows investors to gain exposure to income generated from Bitcoin mining through managed computing power instead of purchasing mining machines or running mining facilities.
By packaging mining capacity into an investment fund, HashKey Capital is offering investors a simpler way to access mining-related returns while removing the need to manage equipment or operational costs.
A recent report indicated that the Bitcoin network hashrate declined considerably as major mining players shifted their resources to AI and high-performance computing. This comes at a time when the mining difficulty level was reduced by 7.76%, the second largest reduction in 2026. This reduction has seen the hashrate dip below the 1 ZH/s barrier.
HashKey Capital and BITMAIN Join Forces
The new fund combines HashKey Capital’s digital asset management experience with BITMAIN’s expertise in Bitcoin mining technology.
BITMAIN, known for its Antminer mining machines, will provide the computing power technology supporting the fund’s mining operations. HashKey Capital will oversee the investment structure, asset management, and compliance framework.
The company said the fund will include flexible subscription and redemption options, transparent cash flow reporting, and multiple layers of risk controls aimed at meeting institutional requirements.
Why does the Bitcoin hashrate fund matter?
Institutional demand for Bitcoin investment products continues to grow beyond spot holdings and exchange-traded products.
Mining has traditionally been difficult for many investors because of high startup costs, rising energy expenses, and the need to manage specialized hardware. A managed hashrate fund removes many of these barriers while providing exposure to mining-generated Bitcoin yields.
HashKey Capital said the fund will launch soon for global professional investors, with additional details on subscriptions, investment requirements, and target returns expected later in July 2026.
