Stacks: Bitcoin Staking Goes Live With Native BTC Yield on the Network - By 13 Sep 2026

Stacks is preparing to launch Bitcoin Staking, bringing native Bitcoin staking to the network by 13 Sep 2026. The feature allows BTC holders to earn yield through Stacks and gives the network a concrete near-term activation point for its flagship capability.Native staking works through sBTC, which represents staked Bitcoin on the Stacks layer and lets holders earn yield without giving up exposure to the underlying asset. As more BTC is committed, demand for STX staking and sBTC utility can expand, since the network's security and liquidity rails both process that flow.Participation will depend on how many BTC holders choose to route yield through Stacks rather than custodial alternatives, so the launch puts the mechanism in place while adoption remains the open variable.Fresh Stacks Snacks 👇
