Institutions using BTC as collateral for yield exposure

Many public companies and funds hold significant Bitcoin on their balance sheets, but have no secure or compliant way to earn yield without selling their BTC. Spout enables these institutions to retain upside exposure to Bitcoin while unlocking real-world returns by using BTC as collateral for access to tokenized corporate bond yield. This structure mirrors traditional secured lending—but with full on-chain transparency and automation.

By combining Spout’s yield-bearing tokens with BTC-backed lending protocols or smart contract vaults, institutions can create capital-efficient strategies that generate stable TradFi yield while holding onto their crypto-native assets. And with Spout’s privacy layer, sensitive treasury activities remain confidential—even on a public chain.
