Stacking DAO

100M+ STX in TVL. 1 out of every 6 stacked STX is now on the protocol. Just use Stacking DAO!

@Defi_Warhol Don't forget Stacking DAO. The best place to stack your STX (natively or with LSTs) to earn up to 10% apy.

My previous tweet covered Stacks Stacking and the ~10% BTC APY. But there's a lot more going on. Here's the bigger picture ↓ 1️⃣ Self-custodial Bitcoin staking This is the big one Stacks is working on right now. → Your BTC stays on Bitcoin L1, fully self-custodial → You earn BTC yield powered by Stacks, no bridges or wrappers → The more STX you commit as staking capacity, the higher your BTC yield → So staking STX directly amplifies your Bitcoin earnings This is the first real utility angle for $STX imo. And if it ships, it unlocks capital from institutions and ETFs that can't touch yield products today because of custody requirements. 2️⃣ sBTC + Dual staking sBTC is basically BTC on Stacks, backed 1:1 by Bitcoin. Over $545M at ATH locked across 7,400+ wallets. Dual Staking sits on top of that. Deposit your sBTC, and you start earning BTC rewards automatically. Want more? Commit STX or put your sBTC to work in DeFi to boost your yield. Everything pays out in sBTC, which you can redeem for BTC anytime. Nansen called this the top Bitcoin yield strategy that actually pays you back in BTC. And the key difference vs most DeFi yield, rewards come from the Proof of Transfer mining process, not from printing tokens. That's why I take it seriously. 3️⃣ Ecosystem → @bitflow: launched HODLMM, a concentrated liquidity DEX for BTC/USD trading on Bitcoin rails → @ZestProtocol: lending and borrowing against Bitcoin, also supporting Circle's USDCx borrow markets → @HermeticaFi: non-custodial Bitcoin yield vaults, all profits convert back to BTC → @aibtcdev: autonomous AI agents earning and transacting in BTC on Stacks → StackingDAO: liquid staking for STX with yield paid in sBTC The institutional penetration is there too: Fireblocks, BitGo, Circle's USDCx stablecoin, Grayscale OTC trust, and Coinbase 50 Index inclusion. The boring infrastructure that real money actually needs before showing up. 4️⃣ The data → 3,700+ BTC distributed to users through stacking, no other Bitcoin L2 is close → DeFi TVL in STX up 120.8% QoQ, daily transactions up 153.5% YoY (2025 Q4) → Feb 2026 hit the highest new account creation since 2023 → Dual Stacking ranked #1 BTC yield strategy paying out in BTC Self-custodial staking is the catalyst. When it ships, $STX goes from a simple "Bitcoin L2 token" to the asset you need to hold to earn BTC yield without giving up custody. What's bullish for Bitcoin is bullish for Stacks. Disclosure: I'm an $STX holder.

@Stacks @dylan_ @bitflow Stacks DeFi is becoming the default railways for anything BTC. From lending and borrowing to AI and stacking

Bitcoin-native apps on Stacks are becoming the default rails for BTC/USD transfers. Congrats to Bitcoin DEX Founder @dylan_ and the @bitflow team on the latest HODLMM launch success.

@grant_nissly STX holders not selling because they earn up to 10% apy in BTC with Stacking BTC holders keeping sBTC in DeFi for the up to 5% apy via dual stacking

Stacks TVL is holding up well in this downturn

Don't miss the @Stacks DeFi show tomorrow at 10 AM ET! 📆 The show will feature all the main Stacks DeFi apps, as well as others, sharing news, creating a more open and engaging format. ⏰ Set a reminder so you don’t miss it!

@jakob_btc Congrats! Next milestone 100 BTC!

That's a wrap for cap 1 ✅ The demand for institutional-grade Bitcoin yield is unsatiable.

@godfred_xcuz @ZestProtocol @Stacks Stacking DAO LSTs are the pristine collateral of Stacks DeFi ecosystem. You get to offset borrowing costs with stacking yield

It's not a secret that Bitcoin holders don't want to sell their BTC anymore. Zest V2 is proving it all the way BTC supply in Zest V2 🍊 has increased significantly & is being used as collateral to borrow USDCx & USDh (check the attached image) $4.25M in USD borrowed in a month

@Stacks @sats_ventures @KevinWilliams The best way to get started in DeFi, is mint some Stacking DAO stSTXbtc. You earn up to 10% apy in sBTC paid daily and get to use the LST across DeFi

Stacks is growing Bitcoin. The default rails to put Bitcoin to work. - Graphic quote by @sats_ventures Founder & GP @KevinWilliams

@enjoywithouthey Everything will come back to Bitcoin

Ethereum and the L2 landscape is imploding. Bitcoin and the L2 landscape is exploding. Going to be a fascinating bear market.

@KevinWilliams Just look at all the innovation happening on Stacks

I have never been more excited about the state of the Bitcoin ecosystem! This bear market is brining out the best builders who will push Bitcoin forward as the world’s greatest asset.

@godfred_xcuz 👀

Where does hBTC yield come from❓️ @StackingDao

This is very important for anyone deploying BTC into yield strategies don't trade it against anything. Know where the yield for your BTC deployed, comes from first. Additionally, there are security & risk considerations. @Stacks: The main source is PoX native BTC Yield.

@ACEband2021 🤣🤣

@StackingDao 😆 Right drug, right dose.

STX stackers, once they find out yield hits daily with Stacking DAO.

Finally, Stacking DAO has processed another ~137,720 STX (for stSTX) and ~0.343 sBTC (for stSTXbtc) in Stacking rewards. 1) stSTX reward transaction: explorer.hiro.so/txid/77622adaa… 2) stSTXbtc reward transaction: explorer.hiro.so/txid/5d0d018b8…

The last stacking cycle concluded with a new TVL all-time high for Stacking DAO. Over 109M STX are not deposited and earning up to 10% stacking yield.

@CallMeHunch Doing it with Stacking DAO?

I’m putting every dollar I make into $STX Stacks and either going to be rich or sort of rich because regardless I get paid in #Bitcoin

@reubs_btc Stacking DAO It unlocked so much liquidity in Bitcoin DeFi. And it can do so many cool things once Dual Stacking with self-custodial BTC stacking goes live

What's the most underrated project building on Stacks right now? Drop it below!

@stacy_muur @Stacks If you are holding STX, don't forget to stack it and earn up to 10% apy on it in BTC or STX. You know where you can do that. 😉

Stacks has distributed over 3,700+ BTC to users stacking $STX. @Stacks has been running ~10% APY BTC rewards through its Stacking mechanism (lock STX, earn BTC) for 130 cycles, and now they're heading into something bigger. They're building the first Self-Custodial Bitcoin Staking infrastructure: You hold your BTC, earn yield in BTC. The more STX you commit to staking, the higher your BTC yield. This way, STX becomes the access pass to BTC yield without giving up custody. The first clear demand driver for the asset that actually ties back to Bitcoin. There's no need to "wait for traction" cause it's already there: → $500M+ sBTC TVL at ATH → Near ATH monthly transactions → February 2026 hit the highest new accounts since 2023 → Ecosystem apps like Bitflow, Zest, and Hermetica are actively building on top of Stacks Full breakdown coming this week. Disclosure: I’m holding $STX

561M STX is stacked across @Stacks and Stacking DAO holds 109M of it. This means 1 in 5 stacked STX is on Stacking DAO. STX holders are choosing Stacking DAO as their go-to option for stacking.

@RaphaStacks Because it unlocks Bitcoin yield
