Bitcoin Staking

LIVE NOW

Self-Custodial and Pooled Staking

Anchor participants stake BTC in self-custody. The BTC is timelocked on Bitcoin under their own custody and unlocks at the end of the bonding period. The open path runs through staking pools, which use sBTC, a Bitcoin-backed asset secured by a decentralized signer set requiring 70% consensus. Pooled staking is not self-custodial.

Institutions: whitelisted, BTC minimums apply
Custody with Anchorage Digital and BitGo available
Weekly BTC rewards since September 17, 2026
