In their words
What the institutions behind the first two Bitcoin bonds say about it.
“
Bitcoin staking and yield products represent a meaningful step in expanding the productive use of the world’s largest digital asset. Initiatives that advance secure, on-chain innovation—while preserving Bitcoin’s core properties—are important drivers of institutional interest and long-term ecosystem growth.”
“
Institutions are increasingly looking beyond simply holding Bitcoin. They want to understand how their BTC holdings can become productive while maintaining appropriate security, liquidity and risk controls.”
“
Bitcoin DeFi represents an untapped opportunity in digital assets, but the infrastructure required to make it accessible to institutions has only recently matured. Through our expanded integration with Stacks, we’re working to give Fireblocks clients a path to Bitcoin-denominated rewards using the custody, compliance, and operational standards their businesses require.”
