Solv Protocol targets over 1 trillion dollars of idle Bitcoin with its institutional profit treasury.

The Bitcoin staking platform Solv Protocol has just launched BTC+, a yield vault aimed at institutional investors, targeting over $1 trillion in BTC that is "sitting idle" without generating returns. BTC+ allocates capital into yield strategies across DeFi, CeFi, and traditional finance such as staking protocols, arbitrage, and tokenized real assets, including BlackRock's BUIDL fund. The vault integrates Chainlink's Proof-of-Reserves and a NAV protection mechanism. Solv states that the two-layer design of BTC+ helps to separate custody and investment strategies, enhancing security. With over $2 billion in TVL, Solv is not alone: Coinbase has launched a BTC yield fund for institutions outside of America, while XBTO and Arab Bank Switzerland are also rolling out similar products. Bitcoin is increasingly being financialized after the SEC approved spot ETFs, driving demand for yield generation from BTC.
