Episode notes
BTCS Early Bitcoin Mining Journey
- BTCS started as one of the earliest public crypto companies focusing initially on Bitcoin mining.
- They pivoted away from mining as Bitcoin prices crashed and mining became uneconomical.
Self-Managed Staking Boosts Yield
- BTCS runs its own Ethereum validator nodes rather than relying on third parties.
- This approach increases yield by about 40% compared to staking through custodians charging fees.
DeFi Leverage Enhances ETH Yield
- BTCS uses DeFi protocols like Aave to borrow against their ETH collateral and buy more ETH.
- This leverage enhances overall ETH holdings and staking rewards efficiently.
