Following approval of the ALEX governance proposal, the next steps are as follows:
🔸 End of Emissions
Farming and staking rewards will conclude at Cycle #409, 32 cycles from the current Cycle #377. After this point, no new $ALEX will be issued.
🔸 TGP Wind-Down
A final 30-day grace period for remaining TGP 2024 claims will run from June 1 to July 1. After this period, TGP 2024 will formally close. TGP 2025 obligations have already been fully discharged.
🔸 Buyback & Burn
Approximately 1.49M STX remains unclaimed in the TGP treasury, subject to reduction as additional claims are made during the grace period.

2025 was a great year to raise a fresh treasury for Stacks.
With significant treasury runway and lean operations, Stacks eco is fully prepared for the bear market. Not our first rodeo.
The next 100x in Bitcoin is in the execution layer, starting with BTC yield. Onwards!

The flywheel in @Stacks Bitcoin Staking is elegant, and it gets stronger as the network earns fees from Bitcoin DeFi.
Users stake BTC to secure the chain, earn BTC yield, and lock STX supply in the process.
This new STX utility as staking capacity results in increased demand, which in return drives up the BTC yield from miner spend.
This pulls more demand for STX as staking capacity.
What will give the flywheel real momentum is network fees, and fees come from capital being used on-chain.
Securing the chain lays the foundation. Putting that secured capital to work is what builds the activity on top of it.
This is where an stBTC comes in. The BTC staked to secure the chain would otherwise sit still, and stBTC keeps it productive the whole time it stakes.
That liquid BTC becomes collateral on @ZestProtocol, gets looped for leverage, and trades on DExes, and the underlying yield is BTC-on-BTC.
The deeper effect is that this sets a floor for BTC yield across the entire Stacks chain. Any BTC posted as collateral on Stacks can be looped back into staking, so the staking yield becomes the baseline every other strategy builds on top of.
That floor is why Stacks Bitcoin DeFi can offer BTC-on-BTC yields no other ecosystem can match. Every time that stBTC moves through Stacks DeFi it generates fees, and those fees are what keep the wheel accelerating.
So the staking design secures the chain, and stBTC is what makes it compound.
Hold BTC. Earn BTC. That's what Bitcoiners want.
Today we're publishing the Bitcoin Staking whitepaper.
Self-custodial. BTC-denominated yield.
Here's what it is and why it matters 🧵

🚨 Attention ALEX Users: Brotocol is Moving to a New Settlement Layer 👇
❗️Please peg out all $aBTC or $aUSD on Stacks before July 15 📅
Key dates and next steps:
• Peg-ins for aBTC and aUSD are now paused
• Stacks-based aBTC and aUSD holders should initiate peg-outs before July 15, 2026 at UTC
• Peg-outs are now processed manually in weekly batches
• The Solana migration is expected to be ready in Q3 2026
If you hold $aBTC or $aUSD on Stacks, please initiate your peg-out before the July 15 deadline to remain within the standard wind-down process.
After this date, peg-outs will no longer follow the standard process. Late requests will need to be handled directly with the Brotocol team on an ad hoc basis.
Assets remain backed and recoverable, but post-deadline processing will be manual, slower, and more operationally heavy.
Please plan accordingly and see the full article for details.

Thoughts on Stacks (blockstack:native) and markets:
- The four year cycle stays true. Bitcoin highs are muted but lows also likely muted.
- The AI models discovering bugs issue is real. Flight to safety will be a trend to watch.
- Bitcoin stayed simple with verifiable and transparent supply. All additional functionality can be built on top.
- Stacks optimized for safety and went for a decidable language (Clarity). Safety will end up being *the* thing to optimize for.
- There is likely going to be one maybe two Bitcoin L2s that take all/most of the traffic.
- After Bitcoin gets a quantum upgrade, depending on new signatures, Bitcoin bandwidth will likely decrease by 50%-97%; highlighting increased need for L2s.
- Bitcoin staking is a $100B+ market with increased demand for BTC on BTC yield coming from institutions and DATs.
- Stacks has seen two cycles before (1) mainnet launch (BTC smart contracts), (2) Nakamoto launch (speed & sBTC), now we’re working on (3) Bitcoin Protocol Bonds launch that unlocks the largest market yet.
- Last year, the ecosystem restructured for operational efficiency plus a new treasury. Stacks Labs is well funded, laser-focused, and hyped up about the new launch.
- Stacks is Lindy in crypto & Bitcoin at this point. Largest Bitcoin project by marketcap & active devs for 5 years. When BTC starts to recover, so will STX but as higher beta.
- Bitcoin might reach $150K-$250K next cycle (halving is early 2028) which is a 3-4x, Stacks is more in the 20-50x range given higher beta history and upcoming catalyst of Bitcoin Protocol Bonds. (Not financial advice and more on protocol bonds later).
- In the chart below, there were only three times in history for lowest entry points. Before mainnet when everything was unproven, before Nakamoto, and now.
- The upcoming SIP for protocol bonds launch will likely get accepted, with good feedback from community to drop/adjust the boosted rewards period (I support adjusting/removing this variable.)
We’re buying here and then patiently waiting next 6-months for protocol bonds to go live, markets to bottom out, and our thesis of Bitcoin as the king asset with a thriving on-chain BTC economy to play out. Let’s go! 🟧
