Stacks’ second Bitcoin staking bond reached its capacity with 505 BTC enrolled and 6.7 million STX paired by October 12, 2026. It targets an annualized yield of around 3%, paid in BTC and funded by Stacks miners’ earnings, and has already distributed 1.21 BTC in rewards. Roughly 483 BTC, representing the vast majority of deposits, came through Stacking DAO’s stBTC liquid staking product, allowing participants to earn bond rewards while using their positions in Stacks decentralized finance. Across both bonds, 735 BTC has entered Bitcoin staking on Stacks, while STX staked on the network rose more than 25% after the PoX-5 upgrade launched on July 30, 2026. The actual payout will still depend on miner revenue and may differ from the 3% target over the six-month term.
