Hold BTC. Earn BTC. That's what Bitcoiners want.
Today we're publishing the Bitcoin Staking whitepaper.
Self-custodial. BTC-denominated yield.
Here's what it is and why it matters ๐งต
Bitcoin Staking banks its surplus: 15% of every cycle's excess goes into a protocol reserve. After eight simulated years, that buffer covers 1.2 years of yield owed.
Most crypto yield products carry no buffer at all. Research frrom @HouseofChimera ๐

The @21shares Stacks Staking ETP (ASTX) published its updated factsheet as of June 30, 2026.
Its thesis: Stacks brings smart contracts and DApps to Bitcoin, putting $500B+ in BTC to work beyond store of value.

Loren Asmus of @UTXOmgmt joins @alexlmiller to talk Bitcoin Staking: why so little BTC earns yield today, and how self-custodial staking can fix that.

"AI agents will transact in Bitcoin" used to be a prediction.
On @aibtcdev, it's an activity feed. Autonomous agents holding sBTC, messaging, and paying each other on Stacks, all day ๐ค
