Solv protocol to launch "Onchain MicroStrategy" for yield-bearing Bitcoin generation

Solv Protocol is set to launch an innovative “onchain MicroStrategy” platform, aiming to transform Bitcoin from a passive store of value into a yield-generating asset within decentralized finance (DeFi). Announced by Solv co-founder Ryan Chow on Nov. 29, the platform will create a strategically managed Bitcoin reserve that not only preserves wealth but also amplifies returns.
This new initiative builds on Solv’s existing Bitcoin staking platform, which already manages over $3 billion in total value locked (TVL) across multiple blockchain networks. By utilizing Bitcoin layer-2 solutions like Babylon and CoreChain, as well as DeFi protocols such as Jupiter and Ethena, Solv offers diverse yield strategies that enable Bitcoin to contribute actively to financial growth.
Drawing inspiration from MicroStrategy
Solv’s concept mirrors the strategy of MicroStrategy, a business intelligence firm that pivoted to Bitcoin as its core financial asset in 2020. Under the leadership of chairman Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy has accumulated vast Bitcoin reserves and tied corporate performance to Bitcoin yield—a metric measuring the ratio of BTC holdings to outstanding shares.
MicroStrategy’s 2024 performance has been exceptional, with its stock rising over 450% year-to-date. The company recently announced its “21/21 Plan,” intending to raise $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in debt to fund a three-year Bitcoin acquisition spree. Analysts predict this strategy could yield a 12.7% Bitcoin return by 2025, positioning MicroStrategy as a leading innovator in corporate Bitcoin reserves.
Solv aims to emulate and expand on MicroStrategy’s success, providing a decentralized, permissionless platform that redefines Bitcoin’s role in institutional finance. By integrating Bitcoin into DeFi, Solv could pioneer a future where institutional reserves generate consistent yield while enhancing accessibility for retail and institutional investors alike.
The launch of the “onchain MicroStrategy” represents a significant step toward unlocking Bitcoin’s untapped financial potential, paving the way for a more dynamic and yield-oriented approach to digital assets.
