The firm plans to use proceeds from the raise to bolster its balance sheet, expand its investment capabilities and services and grow its headcount across its offices in San Francisco, New York and London.
Bitwise is the issuer of one of the 12 spot BTC exchange-traded funds listed in the U.S., which opened the door to previously unseen institutional investment in bitcoin.
It has since listed a spot ether ETF and last month set the wheels in motion to list a product offering weighted exposure to both BTC and ETH.
