Acre Launches Bitcoin Staking on Mainnet in Partnership with Xverse

[PRESS RELEASE – New York, United States, July 25th, 2024]

Xverse, the leading Bitcoin Web3 wallet, has teamed up with Acre to offer a native Bitcoin-in, Bitcoin-out staking experience. This partnership gives users the ability to earn BTC-based rewards – marking a new category in Bitcoin innovation.

Through this partnership, Xverse users can now effortlessly put their BTC to work in Acre directly from the Bitcoin mainnet via their existing Xverse wallet. Acre’s fully on-chain staking experience eliminates the complexity of participation in the Bitcoin economy with its ‘one click’ feature to access Bitcoin rewards.

Ken Liao, CEO of Xverse, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to partner with Acre to offer our users a seamless Bitcoin staking experience. This partnership unlocks a significant market opportunity by allowing Xverse users to earn rewards on their Bitcoin holdings while maintaining full control over their assets.”

Acre, the newest portfolio addition to Thesis.co (the 10-year-old Bitcoin venture studio) continues the evolution of BitcoinFi with a transparent way for HODLers to earn rewards on their BTC. This partnership enables Xverse users to unlock the potential of their idle Bitcoin holdings and earn on both Mezo and Acre through Acre’s native BTC staking platform. The partnership consists of two phases – the first being a “points” experience that gives users access to the Bitcoin L2 rewards economy; the second being native BTC staking rewards as the select Bitcoin L2s chains launch later this year.

Acre, started by the team behind the decentralized Bitcoin bridge (tBTC), works with many of the protocols in the rapidly emerging Bitcoin L2 market category to drive rewards. These protocols, powered by assets like tBTC, are building the next evolution of the Bitcoin economy. By collaborating with Xverse, Acre aims to broaden the accessibility of “stacking sats”, catering to both seasoned Bitcoiners and newcomers alike.

Brian, Co-Founder of Acre, shared his excitement about the partnership: “This collaboration marks not only an exciting innovation in the space but also Acre’s mainnet launch. Xverse users can now put their Bitcoin to work via the Acre staking app to access the exciting new world of Bitcoin L2s.”
