BTC and wBTC don't generate yield—particularly yield that's accessible and optimized for institutions. While Bitcoin represents over $2 trillion in market value, holders have lacked sophisticated, compliant ways to earn returns on their assets.

BITS changes that through the creation of a  Bitcoin-backed yield marketplace that connects BTC and wBTC holders to real institutional demand. Through the BITS app, users deposit into secure, transparent vaults, visible on-chain and programmatically structured to interface with regulated counterparties. These vaults aren’t lent out in the traditional sense; instead, institutions pay to encumber the Bitcoin held inside as part of their own strategies.

Predetermined, contractual yield flows back to BITS holders enforced by smart contracts, meaning no emissions and no inflation. It’s a simple bridge: real Bitcoin in secure vaults, real institutions paying for access, and real returns distributed to users directly on-chain. BITS is the layer that makes it all accessible, whether you’re a retail user or an institution.

The Yield Gap

Bitcoin holders face limited options for generating returns:

• No native yield mechanisms like proof-of-stake chains
• Fragmented, non-institutional yield solutions
• Compliance and custody constraints for institutional participants
• Lack of integration with existing portfolio management systems

The BITS Framework

BITS isn't a financial product—it's a framework. Structured with clarity in a decentralized marketplace, BITS allows for accessibility to individuals and institutions alike, without dilution, without asymmetry, and without compromise.

Key features:

• Institutional-grade compliance - Built for institutional requirements from day one
• Transparent, on-chain execution - All logic enforced on-chain for full visibility
• Accessible to all participants - Designed for both individual and institutional users

Creating a New Asset Class

BITS is creating a new class of Bitcoin-native financial products that can integrate seamlessly into institutional portfolios, DeFi strategies, and treasury management tools.

Rather than forcing Bitcoin into incompatible frameworks, BITS brings institutional-quality yield opportunities directly to Bitcoin holders through clear, compliant structures.

Why We Invested

BITS aligns with our Bitcoin Beyond Pet Rock vision—building functional, scalable infrastructure around Bitcoin as a foundation for financial systems.

The team brings decades of experience across traditional finance and DeFi, with expertise in structured products, regulated custody, and crypto infrastructure. They combine traditional finance mechanics with on-chain transparency.

The Opportunity

As Bitcoin continues maturing as an institutional asset class, the infrastructure must evolve to match institutional needs. BITS represents that evolution—delivering the yield opportunities institutions require while maintaining Bitcoin's core principles of transparency and decentralization.

The framework starts with carefully curated opportunities and scales into a comprehensive marketplace for Bitcoin-native financial products, bridging the gap between Bitcoin's massive market presence and its underutilized financial potential.
