BTCS eyes ZIG yield

An expansion to the company’s diversified treasury strategy will also see 60% of the funds deployed towards exposure to Bitcoin ( BTC ) and 10% to Core ( CORE ). Deployment into BTCS’s active treasury strategy, unlike the passive “buy and hold” playbook popularized by Strategy.

BTCS’ approach aims to deliver operational revenue and yield – even during episodes of flat markets.

“The inclusion of ZIGChain in BTCS’s treasury strategy highlights a broader shift toward productive digital asset treasuries,” said Abdul Rafay Gadit, co-founder of ZIGChain and member of BTCS’s Supervisory Board.

He added:

“Unlike passive holdings, validators and staking rewards create recurring revenue streams while directly strengthening the networks themselves. We see this model as a sustainable path forward for listed companies seeking transparent and resilient exposure to digital assets.”
