Bitcoin should not need to change to become more useful.
That has always been the idea behind Stacks.
Stacks extends what Bitcoin can do by bringing yield, programmability, and native finance to BTC without changing the Bitcoin protocol itself.
Stacks Bitcoin Staking is the latest example of that model in practice, enabling self-custodial participation while giving access to sustainable BTC yield.
As Muneeb Ali puts it: the best of Bitcoin and the best of Ethereum, built as one system.

This week, the Stacks team is out in the world meeting the people building, holding and supporting the ecosystem.
Muneeb Ali and Rena Shah are in Seoul for Korea Blockchain Week, while Alex Miller and Grant Nissly are at the Bitcoin Treasuries Conference.
Beyond the conversations around Bitcoin Staking and Bitcoin native finance, these events are also a chance to spend time with the Stacks community in person.
If you are around this week, come meet the team.

A few notable updates across the Stacks ecosystem this week.
1) Anchorage Digital will enable institutions to participate in PoX 5 Bitcoin Staking with BTC held at Anchorage, while the principal remains on Bitcoin L1
2) Zest is enabling users to borrow Ethereum USDC against native BTC on Bitcoin L1
3)BoostX is bringing Bitcoin Tags to X, allowing users to tag Stacks ecosystem assets in posts and open an in timeline swap directly from the tag.
Together, these updates show how the Stacks ecosystem is expanding across institutional Bitcoin staking, BTC backed credit and new distribution surfaces for Bitcoin native assets.

Stack Sats distributes 1 BTC in rewards every month, with 3 BTC in total rewards available through December 10.
The program rewards activity across two Stacks apps:
- On Bitflow, trade or provide liquidity in the sBTC/USDCx and STX/USDCx markets.
- On Zest, supply sBTC or borrow USDCx against sBTC or STX collateral.
Each app distributes 0.50 BTC per month, with rewards paid monthly to qualifying participants.
The goal is straightforward: put more Bitcoin and dollar liquidity to work across the Stacks ecosystem, while rewarding the activity that keeps these markets useful.

Most Bitcoin held by institutions earns nothing because many routes to yield require taking on additional custody, counterparty or bridging risk.
For an allocator managing other people’s capital, that trade can be difficult to justify.
Bitcoin Staking with Stacks is designed differently. Principal stays on Bitcoin L1, locked through Bitcoin script, with no bridge, no wrapper and no slashing of BTC.
With Anchorage Digital custody support for Bitcoin Staking, institutions can participate without moving their Bitcoin outside the custody infrastructure they already use.
That matters because the same institutional controls used to custody Bitcoin can now extend to participation in Bitcoin Staking.
