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.
