Miners spend BTC to produce Stacks blocks. That BTC is distributed to people who've staked BTC and STX. Since 2021, miners have paid out more than 4,200 BTC to stakers, across five years of 99.9% uptime.
Yes. Bitcoin Staking uses standard Bitcoin script, so your BTC never leaves your wallet and there's no bridge or wrapper holding it. There's no slashing and no liquidation. The only way to lose out on yield is missing a relock deadline, and even then you keep both your BTC and STX; you just miss that cycle's reward.
If you're an institution with a meaningful BTC allocation, bonds give you direct BTC yield with priority in the payout order. If you're a typical BTC or STX holder who wants the simplest path, the pooling option has no minimum and no whitelist. If you want yield without losing liquidity, StackingDAO's liquid tokens let you keep using your capital elsewhere. If you'd rather not touch BTC at all, STX-only staking gets you yield on STX alone.
sBTC is a token on Stacks backed 1:1 by BTC and a decentralized signer set. Native BTC settles directly on Bitcoin. sBTC is used for DeFi on Stacks.
STX is the capacity asset powering Bitcoin staking. It also powers Defi activity across Stacks, a separate source of demand. As more STX gets locked for staking, that's the direct link between STX demand and Bitcoin yield.
