BitGo Launches Bitcoin Staking Through Stacks for Institutional Clients

BitGo has introduced a Bitcoin staking service through the Stacks ecosystem, allowing eligible institutional customers to earn $BTC-denominated rewards while keeping their assets in BitGo Bank & Trust custody.
The offering is designed for institutions seeking additional returns on Bitcoin holdings without transferring their assets outside established custody arrangements.
Bitcoin itself does not use proof-of-stake consensus, so the service relies on mechanisms within the Stacks ecosystem rather than native Bitcoin staking.
The launch reflects growing demand for institutional Bitcoin yield products. Participation remains subject to eligibility requirements, while custody and protocol arrangements carry risks that differ from simply holding Bitcoin.
