@jacqmelinek @teteneko1 @Stacks @muneeb @_TalkingTokens Stacks DeFi is how Bitcoiners can make productive use of their BTC and earn yield
English
Bitcoin is down from all-time highs, but @Stacks Founder @Muneeb still thinks it will hit $1,000,000 by 2030
On today's @_TalkingTokens he explains his thesis, how bitcoin is maturing, whether it's still "digital gold," quantum computing risks, yield opps & more.

@Neezduts0721 @Stacks @_IniubongAbasi @ZestProtocol I'm glad you do
A lot is happening here on @Stacks , despite the noises, you can explore and see for yourself

Most BTC earns nothing.
Yours can earn up to 4% apy with Zest.

@Defi_Warhol @Stacks What is even better is that you can bridge that BTC in Stacks for sBTC to earn more yield.
For instance, just by depositing sBTC on Zest you can earn up to 4% apy on sBTC.
Or you can borrow stablecoins (e.g borrow USDh at 0.3% apy on Zest and stake it on hermetica for 8% apy)
English
As a rule of thumb, I'm not really into Bitcoin yield. It always seemed to me that it's not worth pulling my BTC from a cold wallet only to earn a 1.4% APY lol.
But I'm making an exception with @Stacks.
They've been running a Stacking mechanism for 130 cycles now, distributing ~4,000 BTC in rewards, that's ~10% APY in actual BTC.
The Stacking is pretty simple:
- Lock your STX for a cycle
- Miners use that commitment to participate in block production
- Earn BTC rewards in return
No other Bitcoin L2 was able to offer something even close to these rewards.
I think Stacks's place as the leading Bitcoin L2 is safe for the foreseeable future.

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.

Over 3,700 BTC has been paid out through Stacks' consensus mechanism. No points. No tricks. No caps. Pure BTC. 🟧

@CallMeHunch And you can earn even more yield by depositing those BTC on Zest

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
