For the first time, institutions can access Bitcoin yield opportunities such as BTC-backed lending, yield vaults, and Bitcoin Staking rewards, all directly within the Fireblocks platform they already rely on for security, compliance, and custody.
Join us on June 11th to see it in action.
Stacks offers a Bitcoin staking product designed for institutions seeking BTC-denominated yield without Bitcoin leaving your wallet. The mechanism extends a consensus system that has distributed more than 4,200 BTC.

Bitcoin Staking with Stacks
Bitcoin remains on Bitcoin
BTC is locked on Bitcoin L1, under the participant’s own keys, via a standard Bitcoin timelock script.
BTC-Denominated yield
Yield is paid in Bitcoin, with no wrapping, rehypothecation, or synthetic assets in the path.
STX as staking capacity
STX functions as the capacity asset. Each BTC position requires a proportional STX lock to qualify.
The institutional Bitcoin yield gap
Bitcoin lacks native yield primitives suitable for institutional mandates.
Existing yield strategies introduce custody, rehypothecation, or execution risk
Institutions require defined risk priority and BTC-denominated returns.
Architecture & Security
Bitcoin Staking is an upgrade to the Stacks Proof-of-Transfer consensus mechanism. Participation is structured through protocol bonds: a paired commitment of BTC on Bitcoin L1 and STX on Stacks, locked together for one 6-month bonding period.
- Dual-asset lock. BTC is locked under the participant’s own keys via a standard Bitcoin timelock (OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY). STX is locked on Stacks for the same period.
- Capacity auction. A monthly on-chain auction allocates BTC capacity. Each bid specifies a BTC amount and the lowest yield the participant will accept.
- Weekly BTC payouts. Yield is paid in BTC and distributed weekly throughout the bonding period.
- Optional early exit. Participants may unlock BTC before period end, forfeiting remaining yield. Paired STX remains locked for the full term.
- Source of yield. BTC is spent by Stacks miners competing for STX block rewards and transaction fees, and is then distributed to eligible staking participants. This is the same mechanism that has distributed more than 4,200 BTC since January 2021.
- Waterfall distribution. Active protocol bonds are paid the target yield rate first. Excess miner revenue is then shared between STX-only stakers and a reserve fund.
- No slashing. Full BTC and STX commitments are returned at timelock expiry regardless of participant behavior, miner behavior, reserve fund availability, or network conditions.
- Risk borne by participants. STX price exposure during the bonding period, proportional to the required pairing ratio
- Architecture briefing. Initial conversation with the Stacks team covering mechanism, capacity, and integration paths.
- Custodial coordination. Operational alignment with the participant’s qualified custodian or wallet infrastructure.
- Capacity allocation. Inclusion in the bootstrap whitelist for an upcoming bonding period.
- Onboarding. Position is bonded on the next available period start. Weekly payouts begin from the first reward distribution.
