Maestro, a Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure platform, has introduced Maestro Institutional, a treasury financial platform designed to accelerate Bitcoin adoption in decentralized finance (DeFi). The platform enables institutions to use Bitcoin as collateral in crypto markets and access capital markets without forced liquidation, offering enterprise-ready yield and treasury solutions. Maestro aims to meet institutional expectations with granular controls, clean reporting, robust security, and KYC-compliant vaults.
Optimizing idle Bitcoin for yield
Maestro Institutional allows corporations, asset managers, and Bitcoin custody providers to optimize BTC holdings by offering custom yield solutions integrated with top Bitcoin finance platforms. The initiative targets idle Bitcoin, currently estimated at over $150 billion, much of which sits on corporate balance sheets. By leveraging compliant, risk-adjusted yield strategies, Maestro enables institutions to earn returns on BTC while maintaining direct settlement on Bitcoin, without bridging or wrapping.
Catering to institutional demand
The platform responds to the growing trend of institutions treating Bitcoin as a yield-bearing asset, as around $2 trillion of Bitcoin supply is now in custody or cold storage. With participants like Lombard, Solv, and Babylon leading the BTC finance ecosystem, Maestro Institutional provides a permissioned, bank-grade infrastructure for corporate and institutional players to integrate Bitcoin into their treasury and capital operations confidently.
