Inside the network
🔸What we’re watching: BTCS S.A. (not to be confused with the Nevada-based blockchain infra firm BTCS) is buying CORE’s native token for its treasury portfolio.
🔸Why it matters: BTCS S.A., a European Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), is using the proceeds from a $100 million Series G fundraising round to buy crypto assets, and is spending 10% of the new money to acquire Core’s native token.
BTCS’ choice to buy Core’s native token to augment its balance sheet shows how institutions are increasingly trusting Core’s performance and ability to deliver onchain bitcoin yield.
The purchase also signals growing institutional confidence in Core’s infrastructure, which supports validator operations and staking. Unlike passive crypto holdings, BTCS’s Active Treasury model will deploys CORE tokens into staking and validator nodes, which generate bitcoin-denominated rewards, aligning with Core’s design to provide scalable and secure yield opportunities.
🔸The bigger picture: The purchase showcases how CORE can be used to gain exposure to bitcoin staking.
As BTCS leverages Core’s staking rewards and validator capabilities, it sets a precedent for other companies to adopt Core’s native token, potentially driving liquidity and network activity.
