Stacks is Live on Fireblocks, with Bitcoin Staking Coming Soon

Today, Fireblocks support for Stacks is live. The 2,400+ institutional clients using Fireblocks for custody, settlement, trading, and payment operations can now access Bitcoin DeFi on Stacks through the trusted infrastructure they already rely on.

This integration also sets the stage for self-custodial Bitcoin Staking support, launching this summer, which will let institutions earn Bitcoin-denominated rewards directly from the BTC they already hold.

Why this matters for institutions holding Bitcoin

Fireblocks is the world’s most trusted digital asset infrastructure company, empowering organizations of all sizes to build, manage, and grow their business on the blockchain. Their support for Stacks gives institutional investors a familiar, trusted path into Bitcoin DeFi, one that meets the security, compliance, and operational standards they already work within.

Asset managers and corporate treasuries holding Bitcoin want more than passive exposure. They want to lend against it, earn yield on it, and manage it as a productive portfolio asset, with as few additional trust assumptions as possible. Stacks is built to deliver exactly that, and Fireblocks support makes it accessible to the institutions holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets.

What Fireblocks clients can do on Stacks

Fireblocks clients can now interact with the full Stacks ecosystem, including:

• Zest: Self-custodial, Bitcoin-backed borrowing and the lending hub of Bitcoin DeFi, with 800+ BTC and 41,000+ users.
• Bitflow: Bitcoin-native trading and liquidity through HODLMM, the first institution-grade market maker purpose-built for Bitcoin.
• Hermetica: Bitcoin-backed synthetic dollars (USDh) and yield-bearing vaults, including the first DeFi integration of Strategy's STRC. Hermetica's first hBTC cohort filled in two days.
• Granite: Bitcoin-backed borrowing with no rehypothecation, isolated collateral per position, and soft liquidations designed to preserve your BTC.

And more is on the way. Fireblocks clients can look forward to Bitcoin Staking, self-custodial Bitcoin lending, and a growing suite of Bitcoin-native financial products detailed in the Stacks roadmap.

Where Stacks is headed

Fireblocks support arrives at a moment of real momentum for Stacks. The ecosystem of Bitcoin-native applications keeps expanding, all part of a broader roadmap toward Bitcoin-native finance: lending, trading, and programmable capital built directly on Bitcoin.

The next milestone is Bitcoin Staking, launching this summer. For the first time, institutions will be able to earn Bitcoin-denominated rewards from the BTC they hold, and Fireblocks clients will be among the first to access it. Fireblocks joins a select group of launch providers for Bitcoin Staking as a Preferred Institutional-Grade MPC Provider, reflecting the role its custody infrastructure will play in bringing Bitcoin yield to institutional investors.
