stSTXbtc Basics

stSTXbtc is a second liquid stacking token, backed 1:1 with STX. It allows holders to claim their sBTC stacking rewards directly on the StackingDAO website, twice a day—every 70 Bitcoin blocks (roughly every 12 hours).

Like stSTX, it solves the challenges of traditional stacking—but instead of auto-compounding STX rewards, it delivers yield in BTC.

With stSTXbtc, users earn rewards in Bitcoin—the most widely adopted crypto asset—while keeping their STX liquid in the form of a DeFi-friendly token. stSTXbtc can be used across the Stacks ecosystem, including protocols like Zest, where BTC rewards can be put to further use.

Key features:

  • Non-custodial – You stay in control of your funds at all times

  • Ongoing BTC yield – Earn Bitcoin rewards daily while keeping your STX unlocked and usable

  • All the benefits of liquid stacking – No two-week wait to unstack, no 90k STX minimum, and instant yield on deposit

  • Flexible stSTXbtc<>stSTX switching – Easily swap between stSTX and stSTXbtc without needing to unstack. One-click swaps are available directly on StackingDAO.

Depositing stSTXbtc on Zest lets you continue earning daily sBTC stacking rewards, claimable anytime on the StackingDAO site
