Bitcoin’s Feb 5 sell-off was fast, violent... and often misread.
Our latest market readout breaks down what actually happened, from positioning and leverage to ETF mechanics, and includes our 2025 Sypher Capital Annual Letter.

New research from @syphercapital and @borrowonbtc puts real numbers behind something we've been saying for a while.
Selling Bitcoin to access cash is one of the most expensive moves you can make, and most people don't realize how expensive until they see the math.

Bitcoin staking is becoming a real financial market, and I think ETF issuers will be a major driver. For the first time, ETF issuers like @21shares (@21sharesCM) have a way to access real Bitcoin-native yield while holding BTC.
We’re also seeing @HashKey_Capital, @UTXOmgmt, and veteran DeFi players like @syphercapital bring institutional capital, asset management, and onchain finance together around Bitcoin, with direct impacts on blockstack:native.
Bitcoin staking creates demand for STX and locks STX into the protocol. The latest cycle locked ~11.5M STX for 6 months, following ~20M additional STX locked in the prior cycle. Less free-floating blockstack:native is good for the ecosystem.
Add in the improving STX/BTC ratio, and I think the market is beginning to recognize the value of making Bitcoin productive.

Bitcoin-native finance should settle on Bitcoin.
Most BTCFi runs on a chain with its own validator set and its own finality assumptions, then points at BTC in a wrapper. Stacks writes its state to Bitcoin, so transactions inherit Bitcoin finality instead of borrowing someone else's. Insight from @renapshah

We built stBTC for institutional participation.
Sypher Capital is accessing the @Stacks Genesis Bond through Stacking DAO, with the flexibility of instant liquidity that the stBTC LST offers.
Replying to @StackingDao
@StackingDao allows institutional capital to receive all the benefits of @Stacks's Genesis Bond, while still allowing allocators to remain nimble.

Bitcoin yield is a matching problem, not a rate hunt for the highest yield.
Who holds the BTC, what they paid for it, and where the BTC sits decide which yield makes sense long before the headline APY does.

@UTXOmgmt、@21shares、@HashKeyCloud、@syphercapital 以及 @FireblocksHQ 成为 Genesis Bond(创世债券) 的首批参与者,这也是 Stacks 首个面向机构的 Bitcoin Bonding 周期。
现在,机构持有的比特币无需离开 Bitcoin L1(比特币主网),即可获得原生 BTC 收益。

Bitcoin securing credit without being sold is what turns BTC from idle asset into productive capital.

Currently, stBTC allows DeFi borrowers to reduce their borrowing costs to almost 0% based using @ZestProtocol.
stBTC is live on @Stacks.
Deposit and earn Bitcoin Staking yield that auto-compounds in BTC, up to a 2.6% target yield produced by Stacks Bitcoin Staking.
Allocation is limited, first come first serve.

Stacking DAO is in the Genesis Bond.
150 BTC of stBTC backing is now earning Bitcoin Staking yield on @Stacks. stBTC itself stays liquid, tradable, and usable as collateral.

Five institutional partners on day one of Bitcoin Staking, and every one of them keeps their BTC on Bitcoin the whole time. 🟢
🔥Honored to participate in a monumental moment for institutional bitcoin yield!
This is a game changer.
Bitcoin Staking on Stacks is officially LIVE.
@UTXOmgmt, @21shares, @HashKeyCloud, @syphercapital, and @FireblocksHQ are the inaugural participants in the Genesis Bond, the first institutional bonding period.
Institutional Bitcoin now earns native BTC yield while staying on Bitcoin L1.

Great resource if you want to see what the market pays today.
