Maple Finance has launched a turnkey Bitcoin yield solution powered by Core’s Dual Staking mechanism—built specifically for institutional allocators. With historical yields of 5.6% APY paid in native Bitcoin, the product delivers real returns without wrapping, bridging, or compromising on security. Through integrations with leading custodians, institutions can now earn native BTC yield with operational simplicity and no change to their custody model.
For funds, family offices, and corporate treasuries seeking to put idle Bitcoin to work, this solution checks every box.
Built for Institutions
Since launching just weeks ago, Maple’s Bitcoin Yield product has surpassed 1,600 BTC in deposits, demonstrating strong early traction and market demand. For many allocators long accustomed to holding Bitcoin without yield, this one-click staking solution is a game changer.
A key factor behind this momentum is security. With Core, staked Bitcoin never leaves the Bitcoin blockchain. Instead, it is time-locked using Bitcoin’s native CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) function, allowing holders to participate in validator elections on the Core network and earn CORE-based rewards. At no point do holders—or their custodians—relinquish control or introduce new trust assumptions.
Maple enhances this trust by working directly with institutional custodians. Because Core’s Bitcoin Staking does not require lending or transferring the asset, custodians can support staking while retaining full control—meeting the compliance and security standards institutions demand.
Simplified and Optimized
Maple eliminates complexity by staking Bitcoin on behalf of its clients. Rather than requiring institutions to manage the technical steps of Bitcoin Staking, Maple handles everything—from validator selection to execution—via a streamlined, one-click solution.
But simplification doesn’t mean lower returns. Maple also optimizes yield through Core’s Dual Staking system, which rewards users who stake both BTC and CORE. To access higher yield tiers, Maple uses its staked Bitcoin as collateral to borrow CORE tokens, then stakes both assets. Hedging strategies protect against price volatility, providing principal protection while maximizing returns.
The result is a fully managed, risk-adjusted strategy that extracts significantly more yield than Bitcoin staking alone, without ever selling the BTC.
Turnkey Simplicity, Real Returns
Maple’s role is to make Bitcoin Staking simple, transparent, and institutional-grade.
Clients retain full custody of their Bitcoin with their preferred custodian. Maple handles all staking operations, CORE sourcing, hedging, and validator delegation. Clients receive:
Monthly transparency reports

Audited proof of assets
This turnkey model eliminates the common frictions that have long held back Bitcoin-native yield:

FAQ: Institutional Bitcoin Yield with Maple x Core
Q: What is the Maple x Core BTC Yield product and how does it work?
A: The Maple x Core BTC Yield product is a turnkey, institutional-grade solution that allows Bitcoin holders to earn native BTC yield without wrapping, bridging, or relinquishing custody. By leveraging Core’s Dual Staking mechanism, Maple stakes BTC on behalf of clients, time-locking it on the Bitcoin blockchain using the native CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) function. Maple then borrows CORE tokens against the staked BTC and stakes both assets, unlocking higher yield tiers. All operations, including CORE sourcing and hedging, are managed by Maple, while clients retain custody with their preferred institutional providers.
Q: Is Bitcoin secure while earning yield through Maple and Core?
A: Yes. Bitcoin never leaves the Bitcoin blockchain and is never lent out or rehypothecated by Maple. On-chain, it is secured using Bitcoin’s native CTLV function, meaning the BTC remains under the client’s control (or their custodian’s control) for the duration of the staking period. There is no slashing risk or new trust assumptions introduced. Custodians do not relinquish custody, and Maple implements risk mitigation strategies—including hedging—to protect against price volatility in CORE exposure.
Q: Who is the BTC Yield product designed for?
A: This product is purpose-built for institutions, corporate treasuries, and high-net-worth allocators seeking to earn yield on Bitcoin without compromising custody or operational standards. It’s ideal for asset managers looking to optimize held BTC positions, family offices with long-term Bitcoin exposure, crypto hedge funds pursuing low counterparty risk strategies, and others aiming to offset negative carry. The solution is tailored for those who require simplicity, transparency, and compliance while unlocking real, native returns on Bitcoin.
