HashKey Capital has announced the upcoming launch of what it calls the industry’s first Bitcoin Hashrate Fund.
The product is designed for global professional investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin mining-linked yield through a managed fund structure.
Meanwhile, the fund will be denominated in $BTC and will use underlying computing power assets to target a market-competitive annualized return. HashKey Capital said the product will include flexible subscription and redemption options, along with transparent cash flows for investor planning.
The launch brings together HashKey Capital’s asset management framework and BITMAIN’s mining infrastructure services. It also places Bitcoin hashrate inside a more formal investment product at a time when mining economics remain under close review.
HashKey Capital links Bitcoin yield to hashrate
HashKey Capital’s announcement said the fund introduces a yield structure tailored for computing power assets. The firm said the product aims to balance mining asset income with flexible cash flow.
The company described the fund as an addition to the digital asset allocation market for professional investors. HashKey Capital said its risk control system covers the product’s structure, asset security, and operational management.

The fund is expected to launch soon, with HashKey Capital saying more details will follow in July 2026. The company has not yet disclosed fund size, expected return range, subscription minimums, custody structure, or the exact mining assets tied to the product.
BITMAIN provides computing power services
BITMAIN will provide the underlying computing power technology services for the fund. HashKey said BITMAIN is acting only as an independent third-party technology service provider.
The notice said BITMAIN does not take part in fund management, marketing, distribution, investment decisions, or profit distribution. HashKey Capital will issue and manage the fund independently.
The product follows an earlier BITMAIN and HashKey cooperation announced in April. At the time, both companies said they would explore applications across computing infrastructure and digital asset services.
Bitcoin mining market faces pressure
The launch comes during a difficult period for parts of the Bitcoin mining market. As previously reported, Bitcoin mining difficulty fell 10.09% in June, one of the largest downward adjustments in Bitcoin’s history.
The drop followed lower Bitcoin prices, weaker miner margins, and slower block production. A lower difficulty can help active miners earn more Bitcoin with the same hashrate, but it also shows that some weaker operators had turned off machines.
Moreover, crypto.news reported that Bitcoin miners face pressure despite revenue topping $1 billion in May. Falling $BTC prices, lower hashprice, and ETF outflows made profitability harder for miners entering June.
Mining assets move into structured products
HashKey’s fund also fits a wider shift toward structured Bitcoin products. Crypto.news reported that Goldman Sachs filed for a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF designed to generate yield from Bitcoin exposure through a covered-call strategy.
While that proposed ETF uses options, HashKey’s product is tied to mining computing power. Both reflect growing demand for products that seek returns beyond simple spot Bitcoin holding.
Mining companies are also changing their business models. Bitcoin miners are becoming AI data centers as firms seek revenue from power assets, data centers, and high-performance computing contracts.
HashKey Capital’s fund keeps the focus on Bitcoin mining yield rather than AI infrastructure. Its performance will likely depend on $BTC price, mining difficulty, equipment efficiency, power costs, fees, and the operating quality of the hashrate assets behind the product.
