Hey Stackers,
Quick update - we are sunsetting the sBTC reward program as we prepare for the launch of Dual Stacking. Read on for what’s changing and everything you need to know in order to keep earning BTC rewards.
What’s happening
The last day for earning rewards through the sBTC Rewards Program will be on November 4, 2025. But don’t worry, you can earn even more sBTC with Dual Stacking - a new way to stack both STX and sBTC to create stronger alignment between Bitcoin capital and the Stacks network.
Why the change
Dual Stacking introduces a new economic model that benefits both BTC holders, STX holders, and the entire Stacks ecosystem. With Dual Stacking, you can:
-
Earn rewards just by holding and stacking your sBTC
-
Boost your rewards up to 10x by stacking STX alongside your sBTC
-
Stay liquid in DeFi by using your sBTC while still earning rewards
What you need to do
Enroll in Dual stacking starting on Oct 30, 2025 to keep earning sBTC rewards.
Until then no action is needed, but you can stay updated on Dual Stacking here.
Key Dates & Rewards
- Oct 30: Dual Stacking launches and you can enroll to start earning
- Nov 4: sBTC Rewards Program ends and final rewards distributed
- Nov 5: First Dual Stacking rewards cycle begins
Dual Stacking rewards are distributed every ~2 weeks, aligned with PoX stacking cycles.
Thank you for being an early sBTC adopter. Exciting times ahead.
