@Stacks
 pretty extensively in the past, and they just published a new 
$STX
 thesis built around the mismatch between how much 
$BTC
 exists and how little of it is productive.

So here's my TL;DR of the doc, plus my own thoughts ↓

> **Visual Note:** The image presents a pitch slide titled "Building the yield market for Bitcoin Capital," highlighting an addressable market of ~$1.3T in capital from Bitcoin holders being channeled into Bitcoin Native Finance (powered by Stacks). It lists products like Bitcoin staking, sBTC, BTC-backed stablecoins, lending/credit, and tokenized assets—directly illustrating Stacks' role in turning idle Bitcoin into productive capital and supporting the post's claim that "Stacks is Growing Bitcoin."

The design features a horizontal timeline with circular nodes labeled #01 through what appears to be #09, with the #07 node highlighted in orange and marked "POX-5 ACTIVATION," accompanied by Bitcoin icons radiating outward to illustrate the activation milestone aligning with the post about Bitcoin Staking going live on Stacks.

> **Visual Note:** A dark-themed chart titled "Same Bitcoin. Different trajectory" with subtitle "BTC that sits vs. BTC that earns," showing a flat dotted line labeled "YOUR BTC" alongside an exponentially rising orange curve labeled "YOUR BTC ON STACKS" plotted on BTC Balance vs. Time axes—visually illustrating the post's message that staking BTC via Stacks on Xverse generates compounding rewards versus simply holding.  

> 
> "Same Bitcoin. Different trajectory. This builds generational wealth.

Bitcoin Staking via 
@Stacks
 arrives on Xverse this September.

Lock native BTC. Earn rewards in BTC.
No wrapping, no bridge, no custodian.

> "Stacks miners collectively produce about $245k of STX in one reward cycle. Bitflow can technically accommodate that flow: the roughly $24k of sBTC liquidity across its two sBTC/STX pools, DLMM and XYK, would simply have to turn over about ten times, and a market maker is already"

> **Visual Note:** A fantasy landscape depicts a glowing orange Bitcoin gateway labeled "Bitcoin Settlement" with metrics for "Users," "Transactions," "Smart Contracts," and "Dapps" connecting across a bridge to a purple Stacks network featuring a large STX coin, "Token Value Capture?" sign, and functions like "Locking/Staking," "Fees (STX)," "Governance," and "Economic Activity," with a central banner reading "Network Growth → Token Value." The image visually illustrates the post's central tension—rising Bitcoin activity and over 1.6M cumulative active wallets plus 55% growth in daily users—flowing across the bridge, while the unanswered "Token Value Capture?" highlights the open question of whether this network growth actually translates into STX value.  

> 
> "$Stacks đang có thêm user và Bitcoin activity, nhưng STX vẫn phải chứng minh network growth đó thực sự quay về token.

Q2/2026, Stacks vượt 1.6M cumulative active wallets, daily active users tăng khoảng 55% lên 4.2K, còn BitFlow vượt $5B cumulative transaction value."
