Anchorage Digital Launches Institutional Bitcoin Staking Yield via Stacks Network

Anchorage Digital has rolled out native Bitcoin staking services for institutional clients via the Stacks network. The offering allows institutions to fund Bitcoin bonds directly from regulated bank accounts to earn weekly yields paid in native BTC on Bitcoin Layer 1. The staking mechanism operates through Stacks' PoX-5 consensus, requiring participants to lock Layer 1 BTC alongside STX tokens for a fixed duration. Clients retain full custody and principal recovery at maturity without relying on third-party lending, wrapping, or base-protocol modifications.
