Enterprise BTC Staking with Pier Two
Multiple BTC staking implementations have emerged as a pathway to offer BTC holders non-custodial yields. Because BTC is a Proof-of-Work chain, staking mechanisms are built into applications on top of the Bitcoin protocol rather than being native to the blockchain’s mining incentives. Pier Two supports BTC staking opportunities through Babylon, and we will expand our options throughout 2025. Future opportunities will include support for CoreDAO and Botanix protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bitcoin staking and why should I consider it?
Bitcoin staking lets you put your BTC to work securing blockchain networks and earning rewards, all without giving up control of your coins.
How do deposits and withdrawals work?
You deposit (stake) directly from your own wallet to a secure on-chain address (or smart contract) that locks your Bitcoin under your control. When you withdraw, your BTC comes straight back to your wallet with no third party in the middle.
Do staking methods differ across Botanix, CoreDAO, and Babylon?
Each network uses Bitcoin a bit differently for staking: one builds an Ethereum-like layer on Bitcoin, another offers dual staking with its own CORE token for extra yields, and another uses BTC to secure other blockchains’ consensus. Despite these different approaches, all of them let you earn rewards on your BTC while you keep full custody of your coins.
Is Bitcoin staking secure, and are the systems audited?
Yes – the staking process is safe because it involves direct blockchain interaction without any intermediaries, ensuring maximum security. All staking code and processes are transparently audited for safety, and Pier Two operates with a strong commitment to security and transparency in a non-custodial model.
What is Pier Two’s role in providing secure Bitcoin staking?
Pier Two acts as a secure bridge to these Bitcoin staking networks by providing the robust infrastructure and support needed to stake safely. We handle the technical heavy lifting (like running validator nodes) under a non-custodial approach, so you can easily stake your BTC while keeping full control of your keys.
Can I stake from my Custody Provider?
Yes, we’re compatible with many global custody providers and will offer BTC staking directly from your provider. Explain to Pier Two your custody setup so that your BTC staking is as simple as possible.
