You’ll also see helpful info like:

* The **conversion rate**
* Estimated **annual BTC yield**
* Points earned via the rewards program

Note: BTC yield is claimable in the form of sBTC, distributed twice daily. You can claim it directly via the sBTC card in the “Active Positions” section.

sBTC rewards can be claimed at any time by clicking the **sBTC card** in the “Active Positions” section.

Once claimed, the card will temporarily disappear until new rewards accrue—every **70 Bitcoin blocks (\~12 hours)**. You’ll need to wait for the next reward cycle before it reappears.
